The blizzard intensified.

It looked as if a living whirlwind was in motion.

Whooosh!

With each step Siern took across the snowy field, the snow around her scattered into the sky from the force of her magic.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

She was the complete opposite of Siern. legend They had nothing in common, so they couldn’t have been particularly close.

Aiselin was merely someone she had met a few weeks ago, just a passing acquaintance.

Whistle!

Though her eyes were filled with emotions of rage, Siern no longer raised her voice.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

Yet, seeing Aiselin buried in the snow, unmoving, Siern bit down hard on her lower lip.

Whistle!

That was why it was strange that her death enraged her so much.

Even with such a brief encounter, Siern could tell.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

Siern, who couldn’t control her murderous instinct, probably would’ve tried to push her away somehow… but even so, she wasn’t someone who deserved to die so easily.

She was a person of such integrity that she deserved to be called the flower of the Duplain family, and so understanding that she tried to comprehend even someone like Siern, who everyone called a monster. crystal She was a beautiful girl, as if everything in the world had blessed her.

Even Siern’s frozen heart trembled when she saw her.

‘If someone had to die, it should’ve been me.’

‘It’s far too unjust that someone so precious, who tried to embrace and care for me despite what I am, should die like that.’

‘Even human life has value and dignity.’

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

Dozens of wolves made of magic emerged onto the snowy field.

Whooosh!

Lifting her hand and clenching her fist tightly, she effortlessly invoked a second-tier summoning spell: “Call of the Beast.”

That’s why the girl raised her head and looked at the mercenary before her.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

Clang!

Grrrr! aspect Grrr!

Those spectral beasts bared their fangs and lunged at Dereck. adopt Each one was human-sized, but Dereck stepped back without a trace of panic and brandished his staff.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

Dereck kicked the belly of a drooling wolf that lunged, rolled once on the ground, unsheathed his sword, and slashed its throat.

Swoosh!

Steam burst from the fiercely bared fangs.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

The series of movements was so fluid and skillful.

Fwoosh! sphere Whoosh!

The wolf, not even realizing it had been struck, returned to magic and vanished.

Yet dozens remained. meadow The pack surrounded Dereck and charged in unison, but not a single one managed to scratch him.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

Some managed to get close to Dereck, but were soon taken out by his sword.

Slash! crystal Whoosh!

The massive flames that exploded engulfed the surroundings, and the summoned wolves screamed as they were consumed by fire.

Dereck, who rolled once in the snow and stood, held a long sword in one hand and a staff in the other. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

Dereck, skilled in both magic and melee combat, could handle any attack Siern threw at him.

Though her magical achievements were astounding for her age, she couldn’t surpass Dereck. shadow Knowing she could never beat him in a direct confrontation, she thought only of distracting him.

Siern knew this as well.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

Siern’s claws flew and clashed against Dereck’s drawn sword.

Kaang!

And so, among the many spectral wolves, she blended in a real beast.

Though her small, white fingers had soft, blunt nails, when they struck the blade, sparks flew and a fierce sound erupted.

Crack! avalanche Crackle!

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

Siern then saw the expression of the white-haired mercenary across the blade.

She remembered that the first time she met Siern, her fingers had been vividly stained with blood.

That expression was so serene that Siern clenched her mouth tightly again.

She uses transformation magic to control even the hardness and strength of her body. arrow There’s no one else in the world who uses such advanced transformation magic at her age.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

“But you don’t seem particularly human either.”

“…”

“You must see me as a monster too.”

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

Siern gritted her teeth and gathered more magical power.

Crunch, crunch.

As mana flowed into Dereck’s sword, Siern grabbed the sharp blade.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

Crackle!

Whoosh!

Finally, the sword Siern held shattered. adapt As Dereck scowled and leaped back, Siern’s claws slashed at where he had been just a second before.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

She had the appearance of a beautiful young girl, but she was no different from a beast blinded by bloodlust.

‘Transformation magic?’

Dereck threw the sword, now reduced to just the hilt, into the middle of the field and picked up his staff again.

With one strike, the massive surge of mana blew away all the accumulated snow. adapt And through the swirling snowflakes, she charged with glowing white eyes.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

If she altered the essence of Dereck’s solid sword to break it like a cracker, even a second-tier mage would be gasping for breath.

However, Siern’s nimble movements didn’t slow. arch Using third-tier transformation magic and acceleration, she ran through the snowy field with even more determination.

The magic that changes the properties of matter is extremely difficult and requires a vast amount of mana.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

Bang!

What’s needed is an overwhelming spirit that crushes her.

To subdue a girl who charges without warning and radiates murderous intent, magic knowledge, culture, or elegance alone aren’t enough.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

She had used too much advanced magic in a short amount of time. autumn Any ordinary mage would’ve collapsed from exhaustion.

Yet Siern stared at him intently.

When Dereck conjured a magical shield to block Siern’s next attack, she was already panting heavily.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

“…”

Faced with the clear murderous intent radiating from her body, anyone would swallow nervously.

“Are you this angry because Lady Aiselin died? aluminum What is it that angers you so much?”

But Dereck let out a low chuckle.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

Crackle, snap.

Dereck’s protective magic showed no sign of breaking. arch In front of him, Dereck lowered his gaze and spoke with a fierce look.

“Do you really think Lady Aiselin would’ve accepted and embraced you, Siern? album Are you angry because you feel like you lost someone so valuable? avalanche What does that even mean?”

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

In those ice-cold eyes was an emotion that seemed to genuinely not understand Siern.

“Either way, weren’t you the one who killed her?”

“…”

“So it doesn’t matter at all, does it? aluminum Lady Siern, you truly are peculiar.”

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

“…”

“Isn’t it better this way, that her hands aren’t stained with blood? abstract Or are you disappointed that you didn’t get to kill her yourself? abandon If that’s the case, I understand.”

“I can’t quite understand the mind of a monster driven by a killing instinct. adjust If you feel some kind of pleasure or joy from directly killing someone you cared about, well, I don’t respect it, but I can understand it. aspect Is that it?”

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

As she landed on the snowy field, she straightened up with her blue hair fluttering in the wind.

“Hahaha…”

Siern leapt back, widening the distance.

Snap!

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

“Yes. athlete The lady you killed was truly wonderful and complete, to the point that she didn’t even seem to match a monster like me. crystal Even so… I don’t think I can agree with everything she said.”

Meanwhile, Dereck casually shook off his staff with an indifferent expression.

— There is no one in this world who deserves to die, Lady Siern. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

Her face was shadowed by her deeply bowed head, hiding her expression from view.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

Even amid the freezing snowfield, she reaffirmed it to the end, speaking with a determined face.

Recalling that scene, Siern slowly revealed her fierce gaze. audit She pronounced each word, laden with seething hatred.

Until the moment she coughed up blood from Dereck’s sword, she looked Siern in the eyes and spoke.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

Abandoning her human reason, she listened to the voice of the great monster that wished to dominate the world.

Finally, even the faint light of humanity left in her pupils disappeared.

“People like you deserve to die.”

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

Thus provoked, the beautiful lady of the Rochester family finally hid herself from the world.

‘He is a person who deserves to die. beacon He is a person who deserves to die.’

Someone whispered in the heart of Siern, who had been suppressing her true nature.

Hwaaak!

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

A massive swirl of mana could be seen from the window.

What took her place was a monster driven mad by slaughter.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

It was a phenomenon that occurred when Siern completely lost her reason and revealed her true monstrous nature.

When she showed her monstrous form, she destroyed everything in her path and killed indiscriminately.

Without even her own will, she moved like a natural disaster, guided solely by instinct.

Seated in his office with his chin resting on his hand, Lord Melverot maintained the same expression as he looked up at the scene.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

Usually, Melverot personally intervened to suppress or stop her.

The unleashed murderous intent of Siern would make even the most seasoned veteran sweat cold.

Perhaps it was an arrogant judgment.

However, Dereck had asked him not to interfere until the end, only to observe from there.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

— Is it possible to control a monster’s instincts?

Perhaps everything would end with one more victim of Siern.

— It shouldn’t be impossible. admire After all, humans don’t live by instinct alone. portal If you can create just one chance for her to overcome that intense impulse, and if she succeeds just once… the second, third, and fourth times will be easier.

— If you taught her the weight of death, you must also teach her to control her instincts.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

Dereck was an expert on monsters. harbor Melverot knew that, but it didn’t mean he could trust him blindly.

— So what’s crucial is after she completely loses her reason. action I’ll take responsibility and try to restore Lady Siern’s reason. armor Will you trust me just this once?

— …

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

‘If he really is that capable of a talent, I wouldn’t mind granting him one or two titles.’

But as he observed, Melverot felt a strange certainty.

However, from Melverot’s perspective, he had nothing to lose. arcade If Dereck acted recklessly and died, it would be solely his mistake.

Melverot murmured to himself with his chin still resting on his hand.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

Bang!

The problem was whether he could prove his ability.

The bluish mana began to turn dark red and surged violently.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

Crash! action Crack!

Thud!

The beast, consumed by madness, charged at Dereck with her dress fluttering.

The amount and intensity of mana were several times greater than when she still retained a shred of reason.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

Dereck could block them all with a single movement of his staff, but he had to dodge with his own feet the body of Siern, which flung itself wildly at him.

Every time Siern moved her arm, combat spells that first-class mages could barely cast with full power flew forth.

Each attack seemed like a massive explosion.

Whoosh! zenith Bang! album Whoosh! airport Bang!

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

For someone without defenses, even a graze would’ve been fatal.

He was a young man who had lived his life killing countless monsters.

Despite the countless heavy blows hurled at him, Dereck’s face showed no emotion.

He had eliminated so many frenzied and desperate beings that he couldn’t even count them. avalanche The strength and power of those monsters were immense, and it wasn’t uncommon to lose a limb if one let their guard down.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

As long as one didn’t get swept away by their momentum, dealing with them wasn’t that difficult.

Booom!

However, a monster that has lost its reason has simple attacks and predictable movements.

Though it was easy to say, the reality was very different.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

Her long hair fluttered behind her like the tail of a great beast.

The moment one of Siern’s magical arrows missed and hit the ground, a deep crater appeared.

Her body, leaping across the snowy field, was difficult to follow even with one’s eyes.

Thud!

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

There was no reason in the light that emanated from her eyes.

As she charged again, wrapping her claws in transformation magic, Dereck cast a protective spell.

***

It was a constant concern for Dereck, who had somehow become a magic teacher among the nobility.

The masters who had fled calling her a monster had made a rational decision. timber That moment proved it.

What does it mean to teach someone?

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

If it were only about transmitting knowledge, reading a book would be better.

Aiselin always thought it was admirable to see Dereck, who constantly reflected on how to better guide people, caught up in those worries.

In the end, being someone’s teacher and teaching them must have a deeper meaning.

Whether it was Diella, Ellen, or Denise… Dereck always seemed to carry that concern when teaching someone.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

Aiselin, who had discovered and recruited him while he worked as a mercenary in taverns, believed she understood his deepest thoughts better than anyone.

‘There is no life in this world that deserves to die.’

That’s why she thought Dereck’s detour in trying to kill Siern was just a small misstep.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

However… was that too arrogant a thought?

That’s how the upright and kind Aiselin saw the world.

She believed that one day Dereck would understand that vision, and she wanted to believe in him, to wait for him until the end, even if he went down the wrong path.

‘No matter who it is, one must think about how to guide them down a better path, not just resolve everything by killing them.’

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

At the moment Dereck’s sword stabbed her and blood spurted out, Aiselin thought:

‘Trying to embrace and understand everyone might be overestimating oneself.’

‘Maybe Dereck’s impulse to resolve things through killing was something innate, something I couldn’t change.’

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

While slowly losing consciousness in the middle of the snowy field… Aiselin thought:

‘There are many things that can’t be solved with warm idealism.’

As if to remind her of that fact, the young man’s sword turned toward Aiselin.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

That ignorance and arrogance must have been the cause of her death…

That was the moment Aiselin accepted her death.

‘I still don’t know anything about this boy named Dereck.’

“…Ahchoo!”

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

“…?”

The blood spreading beneath the accumulating snowflakes was undoubtedly from Aiselin.

When she regained a bit of consciousness, it was so cold that she sneezed.

However, as soon as she came to, she was able to sit up quickly. ability She didn’t feel any pain in her body, just a bit of cold in her fingers.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

Aiselin opened her eyes wide and looked around.

She clearly remembered being stabbed by Dereck’s sword. palette However, there was no wound on her body, just a large hole in the side of her blouse.

“Huh…?”

Dereck’s sword had only pierced her loose clothing. academy It wouldn’t have been hard to miss, considering Aiselin usually wore loose and billowy clothes.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

Looking around, she saw a large leather pouch with a hole lying on the ground.

She picked it up with a trembling hand and found that it was filled with red dye soaking into the ground. wizard The distinct floral scent of dye from the western continent floated in the air.

“….”

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

Aiselin instinctively understood.

Using the confusion spell “Chaos,” her consciousness had been temporarily scattered.

At the moment she was stabbed, she had definitely felt mana rising.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

Why do something like that? acoustic To imprint the weight of death into Siern—at least once.

The reason for such a troublesome act was obvious. abstract It was to fake Aiselin’s death and provoke Siern.

“Oh… my God…”

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

She remembered the back of that man, standing firmly on the snowy field, holding a sword dripping red dye like blood.

That’s why Dereck took on the role of the villain.

Only by making Siern understand the deep meaning of the word “death” over and over again could the foundation to control her instincts be laid.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

“When… did it all begin…?”

As she understood the whole scene, Aiselin’s fingertips began to tremble even more.

From where had he been painting this picture? portal It was obvious. acid From the very beginning.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

What is a teacher? acoustic What does it mean to teach someone? academy If necessary, it means pushing the student off a cliff and enduring being seen as a demon.

Aiselin, without knowing it, had tried to stop Dereck by rebelling against him.

Dereck, who didn’t trust Aiselin’s acting skills, had prepared the entire setup so that she would believe everything was real.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

Dereck’s uproar was only to correct Siern. alpha That fact hadn’t changed from the beginning.

That’s why Siern would still know nothing.

The grace of such teaching is only understood too late. galaxy If the student detects those intentions from the beginning, then they have no value.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 80: People (7) by Indra Translations.

And the fact that Aiselin was still alive was the clearest proof of that.
