Chapter 144
The unexpected request from Aint, who as usual had come to visit Silver, made Fernan finally understand that the moment had arrived.
“A boat?”
“Yes. artist I’ve found a lead on the First Emperor’s preparations.”
“Could I borrow a boat?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
“Thank you.”
“For now, yes.”
“And it seems to be out at sea?”
“You don’t know how to sail, so I’ll assign you a couple of discreet sailors.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
“Go to the port right now.”
“And when will the ship be ready?”
Fernan provided him with the best small ship—fast, stable, and crewed by veteran sailors.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
“It’ll take about twenty minutes to prepare. anchor Walk around the port in the meantime.”
“Huh? silence Right now?”
‘…I didn’t think he’d actually come this quickly.’
Aint was able to set sail in just twenty minutes. advance The prepared ship swiftly carried him to his destination.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
— I told you, when it comes to things like this, no one beats the Pellenbergs.
The ship came to a halt between the two islands Gardner had mentioned.
“This is it. silence Stop here.”
In anything that could be resolved with money, the Pellenbergs had no equal.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
Descending into the depths, he spotted a small cave.
Aint broke the breathing scroll Fernan had given him and plunged into the water.
‘Are we sure this is the place?’
— Yes. apple Although centuries have passed and their shapes have changed a bit, they’re the same islands. august Beneath these waters lies an underwater cave. admire Enter through there.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
“…It’s pretty dark.”
Upon entering, solid ground and absolute darkness greeted him.
“Ugh…!”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
But natural darkness didn’t hinder his vision. sphere Aint slowly made his way through the tunnel.
— They’re all true. amber What’s hidden here is a version the Emperor perfected at the end of his life with a new level of understanding.
“So, this is where the true swordsmanship of Armian lies?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
‘Will I be able to obtain it?’
Gardner had spoken of “one more step,” but considering it was the greatest emperor and knight in history, that “step” could be immeasurable.
Yes, he had grown, but he had barely surpassed the level of a regular Academy student.
It wouldn’t be enough to merely see or mimic it—he had to make it his own.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
If he didn’t become stronger, he’d never be able to face demons.
Aside from the Light of Armian, his special power, he was only at the level of the best in the Academy.
And though that was already exceptional—since the average at the Academy surpassed that of many royal knights—Aint didn’t think it was enough against demons.
‘But I have to. wizard I need to become stronger.’
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
He had already come close to death at the hands of a Schwaben assassin.
He had to become stronger—stronger than anyone.
It wasn’t “Can I get it?” but “I must get it.”
That’s why he needed it desperately.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
Inside, a monster was trapped.
And before Aint appeared a massive block of ice.
If he couldn’t, he had to find a way to make it possible. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com
“…What is that?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
— The Emperor said that if you’re not capable of defeating it, then there’s no point in learning the swordsmanship.
— If you knew beforehand, it would be pointless. atlas That is a chimera.
— Ah, I forgot to mention. crystal There’s a guardian at the gate.
“Why are you telling me this just now?! shadow Did you really forget?”

“…So if I defeat it, I’ll obtain the technique?”
And although Gardner brushed it off as “pointless,” Aint couldn’t argue—he’d feared exactly that the entire trip.
— It was created by the First Archmage and Pope of the Dragon God Cult, Eargrat. album The Emperor said that if you can’t defeat it alone, you don’t deserve the swordsmanship.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
— That is the trial the Emperor left for you. voyage Prove your worth.
He had to defeat the chimera in a pure duel of swordsmanship.
— But I know it won’t be an easy fight. galaxy It’s superior to you physically and technically. arctic And since it’s neither demon nor corrupt creature, the power of Armian won’t help much.
— I can’t guarantee that.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
“…Come all this way just to run? agent Impossible.”
Demons didn’t allow retreat. legend Though unexpected, Aint decided to face it.
— And if you’re afraid, you can turn back.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
“Just one question.”
“You brought me here because you believe I have a chance to win, right?”
— What?
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
— I don’t think it’s impossible.
Aint poured his blood on the door. abstract The ice cracked and the chimera awoke.
“That’s enough.”
No matter how strong it was, it couldn’t be more than a demon.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
The ice shattered completely, and the moment their eyes met, both charged at once.
───!
No words were needed.
Crack—
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
Aint deflected the attack and stepped back, but the chimera immediately pursued him.
The thrust aimed at the chimera’s heart was blocked by its arm.
Clang—!
An arm that seemed like a sword itself; it traced the edge of Aint’s blade to his fingers.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
The impact shook the ground, sending debris flying into his body.
It was too powerful to block—Aint rolled on the ground to evade it.
A greatsword imbued with white aura came crashing down on him.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
“……!”
With just one exchange, a chill ran down his spine. adjust This was more dangerous than any opponent he had ever faced.
Crack— yet Aint gripped his sword and resumed his stance.
He remembered Andromalius, summoned in weakened form. harbor The same pressure choked him. avalanche The same terror enveloped him.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
Boom!
The chimera, as if mocking him, grinned and swung its sword again with overwhelming brutality.
Though he deflected the blow, the force sent him flying into the air.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
Aint’s eyes widened and he responded with his sword.
He blocked, deflected, dodged—and accepted small wounds when unavoidable.
That moment of weightlessness—the chimera did not waste it. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
In a single breath, it unleashed dozens of slashes like crashing waves.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
“Haaah… haaah…!”
With burning breath, he unleashed his aura in a counterattack.
That way, he avoided a fatal strike.
His heart pounded, on the verge of bursting.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
But there was a difference—what the chimera could execute in a single breath, Aint needed three.
Boom! aspect A direct hit forced the chimera to stagger back, and Aint lunged after it.
The tide had turned—now he was the one attacking.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
A ray of compressed aura shot out like an arrow.
Then it opened its mouth.
And while he barely avoided fatal wounds, the chimera blocked everything without a scratch.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
Clang—!
“Khahk…!”
Aint deflected it just in time, but the impact sent him flying like a broken doll into the wall.

The chimera’s eyes curved like a crescent moon, then it sat down, beckoning with a finger.
He coughed up blood.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
As if inviting him to get back up.
He gritted his teeth, drank part of the potion Fernan had given him, and poured the rest over his wounds.
The crushed flesh and broken bones quickly regenerated.
“…Ha… am I not even worth killing?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
“…So it knew from the beginning I’d lose like this.”
— It’s not that, Aint.
Aint leaned on his sword and stood up.
— That chimera is inscribed so it cannot kill the blood of Armian.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
In fact, he was even glad.
— I’m sorry.
“It’s fine. auction Now I understand why he did it.”
That wasn’t the important part.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
For someone who still couldn’t imagine fully defeating a demon, having the chance to face such an overwhelming enemy was a gift. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
He steadied his breath and sharpened his senses.
“So this place is a secret training ground for the successor, prepared by the First Emperor.”
Aint charged again.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
Clang—!
The battle resumed.
The chimera responded.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
And he was defeated all three.
He used up six top-grade potions.
That day, Aint fought three times.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
“Could I use the boat a little longer?”
***
“That’s fine.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
Fernan watched him go and recalled what was written in the book of prophecies.
“I don’t know what this is about, but if you need it, just ask anytime.”
“And, even if it’s shameless… I’d need a few more potions. galaxy I’ll pay you back, I promise.”
Aint took the potions right after class and vanished.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
And the fruit of that victory would be a mountain of treasures.
But he wouldn’t give up. arch He would keep challenging it, over and over, until he finally brought it down.
The chimera prepared for the descendants was terrifyingly strong, and Aint would suffer dozens of defeats.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
Maybe the price sounded outrageous, but the value of things is always decided by the seller and the buyer.
‘At least with the potions, I shortened something that would have taken dozens of days otherwise.’
Yes, those treasures would be the payment for the potions.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
He had set the price, and Aint accepted and paid. acquire Therefore, it was fair value.
That he would grow even stronger and become the hero who would defeat all the demons.
‘Good luck.’
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.

──!
─!
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
The cave trembled. artist Fragments of the ceiling, unable to withstand the impacts, fell to the ground.
Neither Aint nor the chimera retreated a single step.
Blades of white aura clashed and shattered in violent collisions.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
If he couldn’t win that day, he’d try again the next.
‘How many times has it been now?’
He no longer remembered how many days had passed, nor how many times he had fought.
He’d fall, drink potions to recover, and fight again.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
— Watch out!
His body adapted to pain and injuries, while his sword and movements became more precise.

And yet, his mind grew sharper with each duel, like a blade forged to its limit.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
Its aura was so lethal that it could take his life at any moment.
He was afraid.
If he couldn’t endure, he would die.
The chimera didn’t aim to kill him, but that didn’t mean he was safe.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
It wasn’t scarier than them.
As strong as the chimera was, it was still weaker than the demons.
And compared to the enemies he’d have to face in the future, this was nothing.
But Aint didn’t back down.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
If he couldn’t even defeat this, then he had no future.
Even though he was afraid, instead of stepping back, he moved forward.
So he fought.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
Wounded and was wounded.
And at some point, the chimera vanished.
Dodged fangs.
He clashed swords.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
Aint struck it with his sword.
Tall, imposing, as thick as a mountain.
In its place stood a colossal wall.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
At first, it didn’t leave even a scratch, but slowly, cracks began to appear.
Tens, hundreds, thousands of times.
Crack— crack—
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
Behind it appeared the chimera’s heart.
Aint’s sword pierced through it.
And at the moment that wall shattered—
“Ah.” This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
Its sword grazed past, a hair’s breadth from cutting Aint.
The creature spewed blood.
Krrrk…!
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
Aint raised his sword and struck without hesitation.
— Cut its neck! alpha Never underestimate a chimera’s vitality!
It was over.
From heart to crown, the chimera’s torso was cleaved in two and fell.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
“…Did I win?”
Aint collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily.
— Yes, you won.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
“…Really?”
After such a life-or-death battle, ironically, his body felt full of strength.
He couldn’t believe it.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
Everything felt new.
“I feel light.”
He felt he could control his body and aura better than ever before.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
“The wall…?”
He recalled that gigantic wall.
— You broke through the wall. legend Congratulations.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
Aint burst into laughter. silence He had never won such a hard-fought battle, which made the joy even greater.
“Pfffahaha!”
“…I really won. voyage I did it.”
Was it real, or just a construct of his own mind?
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
— Most likely.
“I have to thank senior Fernan. afford Without his potions, I wouldn’t have made it.”

“Then… do I have the right now?”
Aint healed his broken body with another potion and stood up.
— You always did. attic Go. meadow Obtain the Emperor’s final secret.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
Rumble—
Aint opened the door.
“Yes.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
“……”
And there… Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
The interior was revealed.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
— ……
Only darkness, deep and absolute, filled the massive chamber.
There was nothing.
— What… is this?
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
Then, something brushed Aint’s foot.
“This is…”
[Defeating the chimera is not enough.]
An old, tattered piece of paper.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
— …Good heavens, Emperor… you deceived even me?
— What?
The message was clear.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
“…Haha.”
The First Emperor’s “preparation” was a lie.
There was nothing there.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
After all that suffering, and there was nothing.
Aint laughed bitterly.
“…I think I understand now why senior Fernan looked so empty when he captured Andromalius.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
Perhaps that was the true preparation of the Emperor.
Well, not nothing.
In that process, he gained insight and broke through his inner wall.
Through countless battles with the chimera, he had brushed death again and again.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
Still, he couldn’t help but regret that there wasn’t anything more.
“You don’t have to apologize, Mr. timber Gardner. accent And thanks to this, I was able to surpass my limits and gain confidence. galaxy That’s enough.”
— I’m sorry.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
“In this jousting tournament, I’m going to win no matter what. acoustic And that’s how I’ll obtain another of those preparations. arrow No matter what it takes.”
He was never one to cling to what didn’t exist.
Aint smiled.
And the fact that the First Emperor had left behind a chimera that taught him so much was already a great gift.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
Aint steeled his resolve.
Most likely, he’d have to face Luina in the final.
‘Senior, this time I’ll win.’
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
“I knew it!”
***
The day after Aint finally defeated the chimera, the cave received a new visitor.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
Hehehe.
“Aint Armian. acoustic I knew you wouldn’t take this with you.”
The corners of the visitor’s mouth curled upon seeing the chimera’s corpse, still cleaved in two.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 144 by Indra Translations.
The visitor stored the corpse in their subspace and disappeared.
“A chimera’s core or corpse like this can’t be ordinary. alpha I wonder what it’s made of, what it could be used for, or how much I could sell it for. echo I have high expectations.”
