Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3)
Those efforts to reach the rest of death, to put an end to that life once and for all, were—at least to her—the only thing she could consider “valuable.”
The time when, grinding her teeth at the man who failed to keep his promise, she devoted countless years to researching advanced corpse resurrection.
It was the period after Kalimford’s death.
In Fina’s long and exhausting life, there was a time—perhaps the last—when something like life still shone in her eyes.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
However, Kalimford’s confession, which crushed all of that effort as if it meant nothing, forced Fina to blink again and again.
“How… how could you do this to me…?”
“Do you have even the slightest idea of what you did while you were peacefully dead? acid I… I trusted the promise you made to me without a shred of doubt… do you know how many centuries I sacrificed for that?”
“I have no excuse. anchor Even if I had a thousand mouths, there would not be enough words. wizard I…”

The body that could barely remain upright on the experimental table was dragged forward, and blood began to spill from his throat.
“You were a hero of humanity. silence A man who never scorned a promise, not even one made to a child found on the street. alien You swore to live doing what was right under the heavens. alien And yet… how could you do this to me…?”
When Fina brought her face close, hatred and resentment burned in her eyes.
Fina clenched her teeth hard and grabbed Kalimford by the neck.

“I already told you… I had no other choice either. autumn To obtain the help of someone like you, who looks down upon the world and distrusts everyone… there was no other way. shadow If I hadn’t had your power… the damage would have been far greater…”
“Shut up! academy I don’t care about that! alert Damn you…! orbit Damn you…!”
Crunch!
Smack!
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
Fina kicked him in the chest again and, concentrating mana, released a shockwave that hurled him into the wall.
He coughed violently, trying to prop himself up on the floor, but his body would not respond.
Kalimford’s body, newly resurrected and weak to the extreme, was sent flying by Fina’s kick.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
Kalimford slammed into it, rolled across the floor once more, and unbearable pain shot through his chest as his bones shifted.
“Your anger… is justified… Fina… cough… cough… I’m sorry… I have nothing else to say…”
Blood began to spill from his mouth.
Even so, amid the pain, Kalimford managed to slowly get back up.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
“Vent it all… as much as you want… it’s your right…”
“What are you talking about with that look of superiority?”
From Fina’s hand sprouted a blade of mana.
“Ha… right, the noble hero has spoken. apple Do you think I’m incapable?”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
Like a sword formed from rose vines, it pierced Kalimford’s shoulder, was withdrawn, and then cut into him again and again.
Kalimford screamed in pain.
A red line crossed Fina’s face.
Blood splattered onto the hem of her dress. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

Blood covered the floor.
Fina kicked him, crushed him, immobilized him with mana, engraving pain into every part of his body.
Blood continued to gush out.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
After a long bout of brutal violence, Fina stopped to catch her breath.
“Haah… haah…”
Kalimford’s body was left utterly broken.

But no matter how much she destroyed his body, her rage and sorrow found no solace.
In the blood-soaked underground laboratory, only the body of the former archmage remained, breathing with difficulty.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
“Fina…”
The chains of life still wrapped around her limbs.
Kalimford, covered in blood and on the verge of death, spoke in a barely audible voice.
Everything was futile.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
“I have no right to ask this… it’s selfish and pathetic, I know, but…”
“What more are you going to say now?”
“Let me… live… at least my life…”
The legendary archmage, with his withered body, gathered his strength to speak.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
The hero who sacrificed himself before Noir, who saved the world with honor, was now pleading for his life, beaten in the corner of an underground laboratory?
After all this, he was begging for his life?
Upon hearing those words, Fina’s eyes widened.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
“I want to see Siern… even if only once…”
A tear ran down Kalimford’s bloodstained face.

“You can… kill me… that’s fine… but…”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
His only daughter.
The daughter he could not protect while saving the world.
The child he had left in the care of his friend Melverot when he departed.
The words stuck in Fina’s throat.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
Parental love.
He wanted to see her one more time.
That was the final wish of the archmage who had abandoned everything.
Just once.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
Death, as an inevitable rest, drives them to protect what they will leave behind.
Humans, finite beings, love their children desperately because they know that one day they will disappear.
That was something that would never be granted to Fina.

He possessed the nobility of humans who struggle within their finitude.
Hearing that plea, an inescapable truth was carved once more into her heart: Kalimford belonged to a different world than hers.
She, on the other hand, had spent centuries fighting without even being able to reach death.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
The sword fell from Fina’s hand and rolled across the floor.
Clang!
Even though he had been resurrected, his essence had not changed.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
She understood then that the chains of life would never release her.
“Haah… haah… ugh…”
Fina kicked Kalimford’s face with all her strength one last time.
Vomit rose in her throat, but did not come out.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
His head snapped to the side, and several blood-stained teeth flew across the floor.
Thud!
After striking him once more, Fina breathed heavily and spoke through clenched teeth.

“Fina…”
“Get out.”
“Disappear right now. amateur Never show yourself before me again. action If you do… whether it’s you or that daughter you protect so dearly, I’ll kill you both. advance I’ll destroy your limbs one by one, tear off your ears, gouge out your eyes, and let you bleed out in agony.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
Kalimford, spitting blood, managed to stand.
With a trembling hand, he wiped the blood running down his face and, forcing his weakened body, staggered toward the stairs leading out of the basement.
“Fina… cough… haah…”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
“…”
“Fina…”
They were not words one would say to someone who had left you at death’s door, and yet Kalimford bowed respectfully and climbed the steps one by one, bracing himself against the stone wall with blood-covered hands.
“Thank you…”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
Splash!
Fina collapsed to her knees, planting her hands on the floor.
When the sound of his footsteps faded away—
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
She silently stared at the blood covering her hands and thighs.
“Ugh… ngh… hhk…”
Tears began to fall.
She bit her lower lip and clutched her trembling chest.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
Nothing had changed for hundreds of years.
She thought she had seen the end of her life, got carried away on her own, rushed alone toward that goal, and after centuries of effort, had obtained nothing.
What had she lived all that for?
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
Like sailing the open sea without a map.
Lost.
Like staring at a completely blank canvas.
She was still a foreigner in this world, destined to wander in darkness, surrounded by corpses and blood, seeing only the mark of reincarnation engraved upon her soul.

Everything was empty.
Even the one path she believed to be her escape had crumbled.
That was Fina’s life.

Something fell from the experimental table and rolled into a pool of blood.
It was then, as she tried to stand up unsteadily—
Clack, clatter!
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
A metal plate hanging from a necklace, engraved with the emblem of the Ravenclaw family.
The seal that the baron Ravenclaw had given her when she left his territory.
Amid the dark red, she recognized what it was.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
She collapsed back onto the bloodstained floor and held the seal with both hands as if it were something precious.
Fina’s violet eyes flew open.
“…Yes… that’s right…”

Even within those pupils that seemed to spin endlessly, her reason evoked only a single man.

Loss turned into emptiness.
“Dereck… Dereck, right…?”
Emptiness became lack.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
If even Kalimford had not been capable, then it was enough to find someone who surpassed him.
And lack blossomed into a new obsession.
The young woman who had writhed in pain and wandering felt, once again, that she had found a new objective within this endless wheel of reincarnation.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
A mage with talent for combat magic like Kalimford, and who moreover showed mastery over confusion magic and tracking magic.
A truly colossal vessel.
A man who dreamed of reaching seven stars, who possessed a vessel more vast than any mage she had seen thus far.

A dark, reddish energy began to swirl in Fina’s eyes.
“Yes… my disciple… my disciple whom I taught… whom I taught with my own hands… my only disciple… the one who will grant me rest… the one who will make me sleep… my disciple…”
He was still weaker than Fina in terms of power, but the magnitude of his potential was something even she acknowledged.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
Anyone who met that gaze would have swallowed hard and instinctively stepped back.
Clutching the seal tightly as if it were a treasure, Fina smiled amid the rivers of blood still flowing.
“Of everyone I met in this extremely long reincarnation… my disciple was the one who possessed the most brilliant talent…”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
“He is my disciple… I won’t give him to anyone… he… is my disciple…”
Thus, Fina pressed the seal to her chest and lowered her head.
However, when she imagined the face of that disciple, now lord of the Ravenclaw territory, something made her heart ache.
She remembered Dereck, brimming with joy at the thought that his former teacher would come to visit him.

“No… I suddenly felt a chill. amateur It’s nothing. accent Although it does seem that the weather has grown quite cold.”
After that, she turned her gaze back to the land where the academy was being built in the Duplain territory.
Katia glanced for a moment toward the plain they had crossed, then shook her head firmly, as if trying to shake off that ominous sensation.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
“To raise a construction of this size in such a short period… I had heard that the Duplain family was faltering, but it seems that is already behind them. altitude When the family members are capable, any house can stand back up.”
The scale of the project was such that simply walking through it would take quite some time.
“…The one leading this project is not a family member.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
“…?”
In truth, all Dereck did regarding the construction of the academy was check from time to time whether everything was proceeding smoothly.
Lately, whenever practical work came up, Aiselin was always the first to throw herself into it with shining eyes, organizing everything and establishing systems.
“Well, it’s Miss Aiselin who is directing it.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
Every time he tried to get more involved, Aiselin would panic and stop him, leaving him no way to insist.
Even he sometimes wondered if it was really fine for things to be that way.
‘Dereck, you already have mountains of things to do! timber You can’t take on practical work too! palette Don’t worry, I’ll handle everything.’

She would say that with sparkling eyes, as if afraid someone might take her work away.
“Just as the rumors say, Miss Aiselin truly is versatile and thoughtful.”
Meanwhile, Dereck could not help worrying that she might eventually collapse from overwork.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
Katia, on the other hand, smiled with clear satisfaction.
Knowing that Aiselin took charge even of such demanding and complex tasks further enhanced Katia’s good impression of her.
Noble ladies often cultivated elegance and education, but they frequently became naive, detached from reality, or excessively arrogant.
Dereck himself had nothing to object to; even trying to find faults, Aiselin was practically flawless.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
“You don’t need to worry so much, Master. abandon Miss Aiselin doesn’t judge people by such things.”
“Even so… it’s not easy to approach a treasure of the Rose Hall so casually, as delicate as a flower. action If there’s time, I should check my outfit once more…”
At that moment—
“Then Miss Aiselin must be supervising this place. ability I’ve heard that in Ebelstein’s social circles, simply by walking, she fills the air with a floral fragrance, and that sitting beside her elevates anyone’s prestige. echo I worry that this old master might end up being a nuisance. armor Is my attire all right?”

A thunderous sound echoed from the construction site.
Dereck, Katia, and Freya all flinched and quickly headed toward the source of the noise.
Rumble! adjust Rumble!
Rumble… whoosh…

Seeing that the workers and family members remained calm, it seemed nothing serious had happened.
Most likely, during the foundation work, massive blocks of stone had been uncovered and broken apart to secure space.
Amid the cloud of dust rising into the sky, fragments of rock could be seen scattered about.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
Dereck was about to let out a sigh of relief when—
“See? meadow I was right, Mr. afford Robin! crystal Breaking the lower base with pickaxes and then securing the area with defensive magic is the most efficient method. orbit It’s something I adapted from a book by Mr. advance Ravens!”
Given the amount of dust, the scale was considerable, but if the base was broken properly, the work could proceed quickly.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
“Good, then all that’s left is to excavate the rest with pickaxes and the foundation will be complete. agent Let’s start from the east side.”
Amid the dust, a young woman shook out her clothes while exchanging opinions with battle-hardened workers. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
“My goodness… Miss Aiselin, I can’t compete with you. zenith I’ve worked in construction for years and I’ve never seen anything like this. acoustic Using magic definitely increases efficiency tremendously.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
From her eyes, full of life, starlight itself seemed to spill out.
Seeing her wipe the dust from her cheeks while wearing a frilled dress was strangely surreal.
She carried a heavy pickaxe resting on her shoulder and smiled with dazzling freshness.

“Oh! athlete Dereck! atlas You’re here! atom As you can see, the foundation of the auditorium is al—”
Aiselin, who had greeted him with obvious delight, gradually let her voice trail off as she noticed the guests accompanying him.
Then the young woman’s gaze met Dereck’s.
At first, she thought they were ordinary visitors, but the more she examined their appearances, the more familiar they seemed.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 163: Who are you a disciple of? (3) by Indra Translations.
Clink.
Aiselin dropped the pickaxe, her face completely stiff, as if she had lost everything.
“…”
They were people Dereck had spoken to her about before.

However, at this point, trying to appear elegant no longer made much sense…
Though she had gone pale with nervousness, her reflexive attempt to adopt a composed posture was almost admirable.
“Ah… u-um… it seems we have guests…”
