The influence of a mentor couldn’t be ignored. ability Even after that, Dereck continued mastering his own magic, but most of his accomplishments focused on advancing combat and illusion spells.
And he learned fitting illusion spells from a fallen noblewoman named Katia.
Dereck had learned the basics of combat spells from an old man.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
How long had it been since he’d immersed himself in magic in this dark cave?
“I feel like I’ve fully grasped the essence of exploration spells.”
He diligently practiced the arts of transmutation, exploration, and summoning spells. arch However, no matter how hard he tried, there were times when progress felt stalled—like hitting an invisible wall.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
One day, Drest Wolfetail said something rare—commenting first on Dereck’s magical abilities.
“The rest is something the boy must master on his own.”
“…But I still feel a bit stuck.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
Opportunities to be taught directly by a Six-Star Explorer Mage weren’t common. voyage If given the chance, he wanted to learn as much as possible.
Hearing those words, Dereck felt a little disappointed.
Still, he knew that having a good mentor was just as important as personal reflection and mastery in the study of magic.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
“…Anyway, I think I’ve done everything I can on my part.”
“If someone could discover all the truths of magic sitting in a cave corner, then every great wizard in the world would be a hermit, never leaving their rooms.”
Dereck raised his palm, clenching and unclenching it several times before him. academy He closed his eyes tightly and once again felt the flow of magical power.
“I’ve heard there are quite a few like that.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
He felt like part of his body was burning, while another part was freezing. anchor The cold and heat fused within him, clashing and transforming into magical power.
Gathering the magic floating before his eyes into his chest, he released it into the world as if exhaling.
By observing Drest Wolfetail’s spellcasting and trying to mimic it, he constantly measured that immense energy.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
He had felt a similar sensation in the labyrinth recently.
The unique struggle of a mage stepping into the next phase, unable to easily control such immense power.
That strange dissonance, as if magical energy wasn’t moving according to his will.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
Like taming a wild beast, he controlled the feeling of the world’s wonders gathering and becoming untamable, gritting his teeth. arena Finally, he focused the magic at his fingertips on a single point.
He had often felt that in the past, struggling to master the various exploration spells Drest possessed.
It was the repetition of days reaching beyond his current level, toward a realm that still wasn’t his. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com
Again and again, he suppressed the sensation of battling unruly magic.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
As if drawn by something, Dereck placed his hand on the cold stone floor and released the spell as his heart dictated.
–Whirr!
“…”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
It was a moment of emptiness that suddenly overtook him.

With great resolve and sincerity, he materialized his magic—but nothing changed around him.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
–Crash!
–Rumble, rumble!
A great vibration began to spread throughout the cave.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
Before Dereck could grasp what was happening, Drest quickly cast a shield spell.
The tremors grew increasingly intense, and some stalactites snapped and fell, while cracks began forming on the walls.
The impact wasn’t enough to shake the entire vast cavern, but it did overturn a large stretch of open ground.
–Rumble! matrix Rumble! matrix Crash!
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
With telekinesis, he pushed Dereck away and swiftly moved toward the cave exit.
At the entrance of Raspah Cave
Dereck sat, staring at the collapsed entrance.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
“Get up… Get up…”
The tips of his fingers trembled from the magic drawn from the earth. palette Drest, standing with hands folded behind his back, laughed dryly. shadow Dereck was almost of age for his coming-of-age ceremony. adjust Yet the spell he had cast had completely destroyed the entrance to Raspah Cave.
Sweating heavily, Dereck steadied his trembling hands and somehow managed to stand.

‘Tectonic Disturbance’ – 3-Star Combat Spell
(Spell Acquired)
He was about to ask what had just happened when he felt an aftershock.
Dereck swallowed hard. orbit To find an average mage who had learned a 3-star spell at his age, one would have to look into historical records or the biographies of great figures.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.

“As I said, it seems there’s nothing more I can teach you right now.”
As usual, the old, saggy-skinned wizard placed his hand on Dereck’s shoulder from behind.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
It is said that Adelbert, who first conceived the spell hierarchy, was inspired by the stars that filled the sky.
Dereck was sitting near the campfire at the entrance of the destroyed cave with Drest, reclining in the night’s darkness.
The stars were clearly visible.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
A 3-star spell. abandon Among the nobility, spellcasters with 3-star spells are called “advanced mages,” recognized as those who have mastered a specific aspect of magic.
He had just altered his surroundings.
Dereck looked at his palm with a confused expression.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
When news spread that a commoner had become a 3-star mage, even nobles had to respect the blood, sweat, and tears poured into the effort. arena Most 3-star mages born as commoners had dedicated their entire lives to magic.
“…”
However, there had never been a 3-star mage as young as Dereck. orbit It was doubtful he would be met with admiration for it. palette The tangible proof of that sat across the fire—an old mage named Drest.
“I’ve said it before, but as a common mage, you can’t survive on ordinary talent alone.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
Drest had lived as a common mage, sacrificing too much just to stay alive—and to surpass the nobles.
“To be respected, you must be extraordinary. apple Rise so high they can’t reach you. wizard It’s human nature to try to drag down anyone who seems within reach.”
“And how big is someone like that?”
Though his words lacked emotion, the weight of years still filled Drest’s speech.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
Yet Drest merely closed his eyes.
If Dereck, at his age, had mastered a 3-star spell, most mages would be left speechless in awe.

Drest looked at Dereck with a gaze clouded by time, a century’s worth of valor clearly reflected in his eyes.
“Judge it for yourself.”
In the fight against the world, it could be a crushing victory or a crushing defeat.
He seemed to project a piece of his past onto the growing existence that was Dereck.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
“Just to get some fresh air.”
“Where are you going?” Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
With that, Drest stood from his fragile body.
“…”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
Saying that, Drest waved his robe.
Drest, now aged and at the twilight of his life, did not radiate the grandeur that flowed from the world’s most famous mages.
The forest surrounding the cave was filled with the darkness of night. zenith To some, this darkness might seem like an endless void.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
Dereck knew Drest’s end would not be as dramatic as his reputation. agent After a tumultuous life, he would wander until he felt death, then return to a quiet village in the outskirts of Count Jebelon’s lands.
He lived simply—and would die simply.
Though he was one of the greatest, he looked completely ordinary. altitude His shoulders were small, his limbs as thin as dead branches, wrapped in a worn-out robe, nibbling on food meant for commoners.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
In that now remote and silent field, he would casually enter a house, sit in a worn chair, rest his chin on his hand.
“The night air is still quite cold, Master. acid Please stay a little closer to the fire.”
And silently close his eyes, never to open them again. alert That’s how he lived and died.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
Then Drest paused for a moment and, as usual, showed no expression.
Dereck said that.
“It’s fine.”
“…”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
With that cryptic warning thrown into the air, he melted quietly into the night. alien And Drest did not return.
Dereck knew it would happen.
“Be careful of Cohela.”
In the place where the old man had gone, Dereck sat alone, poking the fire with a stick. antique The crackling intensified.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
Once you realize that, you begin to understand that farewell is also a natural part of life.
The old beggar had done it, Katia had done it, Drest had done it… all the same. adopt Those who embraced him like a cradle would surely leave one day.
Round and round, and in the end, as always, he sat alone.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
He washed up, laundered all his clothes and mercenary gear.
***
After a long time, Dereck returned to his residence near Ebelstain’s commercial district.
It was one of life’s many truths.

Repaired the worn door, discarded the old furniture and bought new ones.
Sharpened the rusted knife. artist Oiled it too.
Cleaned the dusty room, threw out all the spoiled food. audit Washed the blanket. beacon Placed scented candles here and there around the room.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
Dressed properly, he reviewed all the stacks of letters. artist From mercenary groups, from the three great families, from the Ebelstain headquarters, from employers seeking to hire Dereck directly. admire Many sought him out, but he responded to none.
He pushed the spellbook Katia had left to the back of the drawer. agent He no longer needed that grimoire.
He carefully trimmed his thick hair and shaved. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

After putting the basics in order, he stepped out into the sunlit doorway. wizard The rich aroma of bread from the bakery across the street hadn’t changed.
***
It was Dereck’s home.
Ebelstain was still a city of a thousand faces.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
However, Dereck was a successful magic instructor. artist Renowned instructors sometimes made their voices heard—even among the nobility.
Clerven, the head butler of the Beltus family, couldn’t help but feel puzzled while reporting this. alpha How could a commoner ask to meet a great duke of a nation?
“We’ve received a message from that Dereck. matrix He’s requested a meeting with His Grace, Duke Beltus. auction What should we do?”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
In fact, Dereck had sent several letters to the Beltus family, inquiring about various conditions.
Naturally, he showed a satisfied expression, pleased that Dereck had chosen the Beltus family over Duplain or Belmierd.
“Has he finished his magical training? orbit It seems he’s completed it.”
Dereck had crushed the pride of Grand Duke Duplain, who had confidently declared that Dereck would definitely go to the Duplain family. apron That alone filled Duke Beltus with delight.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
“Exactly. harbor Since it was Denise who persuaded him, and he’ll be instructing her, I’ll tell her to meet with him separately. alert There’s too much pressing work in the domain—so I’ll leave this matter in Denise’s hands.”
Thus, Duke Beltus began writing a letter to send to Ebelstain, his quill dancing across the paper.
“Denise will be trained in magic, and given that her magical growth has been stagnant lately, this is a good opportunity. avalanche If he’s as competent as they say, he should yield significant results, right?”
“There are widespread rumors that he’s achieved exceptional results working with the Duplain and Belmierd families.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
“The magic instructor is supposed to visit the mansion today.”
Seeing the satisfaction dripping from his face, the chief butler felt there was no need for concern.
“Eek…!”
***
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
After returning home, Denise had quietly stayed in her room, slowly untangling her thoughts. accent She couldn’t understand the mindset of a magic instructor who had turned down Aiselin and Ellen, insisting on teaching her instead.
As usual, Denise, hiding in a corner, swallowed hard.
After considering several theories and possibilities, she even started to wonder if this decision was a form of punishment.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
After all, she had tried to manipulate the situation, feigning enthusiasm for magic she didn’t really care about. august Some mages considered that an insult, so maybe her teacher was doing something to get back at her.
Realizing how peculiar her position was, she thought:
How could a commoner harbor resentment toward a noblewoman of House Beltus? arena But he wasn’t just any commoner. alert He was a magic instructor desired by the three great families.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
Even if he was just a mercenary from the slums, he was someone who had built such a reputation.
If no progress happened here, who would be blamed? arrow Most likely, the blame would fall on her—for having a great master yet remaining stagnant.
“If I, who’ve been accepted as a student by the legendary instructor who reformed Lady Diella, earned Ellen’s acknowledgment, and was chosen over Aiselin, don’t produce any results…”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
“Bella… I just want to lie down and do nothing… Can’t I just fire him as I please…?”
She didn’t think she would fall into such contradiction, but there was no available escape.
“You know better than anyone—you don’t want to work… but the Grand Duke won’t stand for that…”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
“Good morning. shadow It’s been a long time since we last saw each other.”
After splashing her face a few times, Denise finally got up. autumn Staying like that wouldn’t solve anything.

He approached, removed his cloak, and greeted Denise. autumn As usual, his demeanor was brusque.
Guided by the servants, Dereck walked through the hallway.
In the noble district of Ebelstain, at Denise’s residence.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
In Denise’s mind, Dereck was a hermit, secluded in a remote cave no one visited, his face worn and hair unkempt, completely consumed by magic.
Now well-dressed and greeting her politely, she could barely recognize him.
But Denise could only stand there, eyes wide in disbelief. arcade It was her first formal meeting with Dereck. adapt Of course, she had first seen him from the stands of the combat training field, but the impression left by that brief encounter had long faded.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
“Oh, I didn’t know… you’re someone who observes formalities like that…?”
“Huh?”
“Dereck…? timber Is that really you…?”
“Yes. acid I appreciate your help at Raspah Cave. alpha The supplies you provided were very helpful.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
Even if Dereck’s status was unclear, he wouldn’t behave the same in the nearly deserted Raspah Cave as he would in the lands of a noble house.
Of course, that was to be expected, but Denise found herself unable to adjust to Dereck’s transformation, her mind briefly stalling.
“…” Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
Denise subtly gathered mana, materializing her detection spell in the corner of her eye. apple She intended to measure just how far his mana extended.
He was the one buried in magical training in a cave’s corner. zenith His magical power must have grown.
‘Now’s not the time to be confused. advance There are so many things I want to ask, so many intentions to convey.’
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
“…”
If he had such an ability, it meant his mana couldn’t be measured unless one belonged to a higher realm.
However, Dereck’s mana couldn’t be measured by Denise’s eyes. album Whether the mana was too faint to perceive or he had learned how to conceal it from detection spells—
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
Clearly, he was someone who saw broader horizons than Denise.
“You’ve traveled far. autumn I heard you came to teach me magic?”
Swallowing dryly, Denise spoke.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
Dereck wiped his hands several times, then showed a faint smile.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“I heard you’re quite disappointed in magic.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
“Perhaps I judged too hastily. meadow I’m sorry. harbor Are you satisfied now?”
“Honestly, wouldn’t that hurt your pride? artist To judge magic as good or bad without even glimpsing its domain is an insult to magic itself. beacon After all, I’ve dedicated my life to it.”
“…”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
It seemed like endless seriousness, but there was a touch of madness behind it.
“No. adapt While I appreciate your selfless apology, don’t you find it unfortunate? galaxy Living only with disappointment and resentment toward something so wondrous. antenna That won’t do.”
Denise met Dereck’s gaze. aluminum In his deep and captivating eyes, a strange, indescribable energy flowed.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 39: Spell (1) by Indra Translations.
Denise realized it. arcade She had touched someone she shouldn’t have.
Before touching someone, one must first ensure they can handle that person. palette It was common sense, but the divide between commoners and nobles sometimes made people forget that.
Unfortunately, what’s done is done—that’s how the world works.
‘Eek…’
