Chapter 23
It consumed a lot of mana, but it was a method that required neither miners nor extraction equipment.
The ground shook slightly with a wave of energy, and the protruding rocks pushed out the mithril deposits that were deeply embedded.
Rumble!
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
Seeing the bluish-green minerals that filled his field of vision, Fernan could barely contain a smile that threatened to burst out.
“It’s more than I expected.”
Only those versed in earth magic could do it, and that was one of the many reasons Fernan had chosen the earth attribute.
In the book of prophecies, Gardner Alfenparsen had mentioned that there would be about five kilos of mithril. alpha To be honest, Fernan thought it was an exaggeration, and that even with half of that he’d be satisfied. absorb But it was quite the opposite.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
What was visible on the surface already amounted to about five kilos. athlete But by digging with magic, he found much more.
‘This is paradise…!’
─!
Approximately twenty kilos. shadow That amount had enough value to buy a small country.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
At the falling of stones, Fernan raised a rock barrier. album The tremors and shaking intensified over time.
Thanks to that fight, a thick wall had collapsed, and the mithril had been exposed.
──!
“What a way to fight…”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
Fernan had pierced it with earth magic and then restored it, but Aint didn’t have that option.
If he had managed to break it and still find the mithril, then it must have been a high-level battle, not just a skirmish.
From the sea dragon’s location to here was quite a distance.
In addition, a wall more than two meters thick separated them.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
“Don’t tell me he’s going to lose here…”
The sea dragon’s breath hit several areas of the cave. adapt Crash. anchor Rubble collapsed everywhere, but it was nothing more than a last desperate attempt.
Although Aint was stronger than in the version of the book of prophecies thanks to the elixir, Fernan couldn’t help but feel uneasy remembering that he had defeated Berian by himself.
[Shaaaaa!

— You were lucky. absorb That the terrain collapsed… You better get out of here before that beast regains consciousness and climbs back up.
“S-Saved!”
Wait.
Beyond the collapsed terrain opened a bottomless abyss. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com silence Even for a sea dragon, falling from that height wasn’t something one could easily recover from.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
“What?”
— What is that?
— There. voyage Don’t you see that bluish glow?
Gardner suddenly stopped.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
“…This is…”
— Mithril! beacon It’s a mithril vein!]
Right behind the place where the sea dragon had been sleeping, between a half-collapsed wall, a faint bluish light filtered through.
Aint, who had just carefully picked the spiritual herb, cautiously approached.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
Fernan held his head, throbbing from the pressure, and nodded.
“So it wasn’t that he won by skill.”
“Of course, it was obvious he wouldn’t be able to win alone.”
In that case, he had nothing to worry about. aluminum Everything fit naturally.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
Soon, the sea dragon’s attacks would begin to hit the wall and it would collapse. sphere He had to extract all the mithril before that happened.
“…I need to hurry.”
Berian, with the power of a demon, had been a weakling. legend Even if Aint had awakened and managed to defeat him, the result was nothing to brag about.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
Fernan picked up the pace.
After all, the battlefield would be a complete mess. arcade And if someone could notice the traces of mining amid that chaos, they weren’t a knight—they were a professional miner.
“Well, at least I don’t have to erase the traces of extraction.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
Aint was breathing heavily. alpha He was drenched in sweat, and small cuts covered his skin.

It was the abyss that had swallowed the sea dragon when the terrain collapsed.
“…Do you think it’s dead?”
Right in front of him stretched a darkness so deep that the bottom couldn’t be seen.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
“If only there hadn’t been an earthquake…!”
— It might not have been an earthquake, but the result of the battle. alert After all, it’s a cave.
The problem was that not only had the sea dragon fallen with the collapse. aspect Aint, luckily, had managed to shelter in a side cave, but the impact had left him with some injuries.
— Seems pretty deep… I don’t think it can climb up easily.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
“Do you think I can climb up?”
Aint murmured as he looked up toward a faint light that seemed quite far away.
“…It’s pretty high.”
— Who would’ve thought there’d be such a space underground. atomic Not even His Majesty the former Emperor would’ve suspected it.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
“Obviously not.”
— Of course you have to climb. arrow Or do you plan to stay here and starve?
It was a dangerous place where one wrong step could cause a fall, but it didn’t seem impossible to climb. beacon If he used his aura to dig his fingers into the wall as he climbed, even if slow, he should be able to do it.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
— No, it’s not that. ability Look over there.
Aint, worried, expanded his senses, but didn’t detect the monster’s presence.
“What is it? arrow Don’t tell me the sea dragon…?”
— First recover with a potion, then climb, pick the spiritual herb, and get out of here. apron We don’t know when that sea dragon might climb back up… wait a moment.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
“Is there something inside?”
There was a small hole within the hollow where he was. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates. riddle It was so narrow that Aint had to crouch, but the inside seemed to gradually widen.
— Probably. apron It gives me a strange feeling.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
— There it is!
With those words, Aint forced himself in. airport At first he crawled, then crouched, and finally was able to stand.
At the end, a small chamber was revealed. matrix And there—
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
— You care about the herb right now?!
“I don’t see any spiritual herb.”
— Don’t you see that?!
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
“What’s that?”
— That’s adamantite.
“Adamantite? auction What is that… Ada… mantite?”
What was in front of him was a mineral that emitted a soft glow. arrow A color similar to steel, but with a more varied hue.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
The hardest substance in the world, Adamant,
The mana-blessed metal, Mithril.
Aint was speechless. action Although he didn’t know much about minerals, he did know the three metallic legends.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
“Is it really adamantite?”
The three were materials that couldn’t be obtained, no matter how much money you had.
And Orichalcum, also called floating stone due to its tendency to rise.
— A knight should recognize it just by looking! accent You should know how to identify the best metal for your weapons and armor!
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
— Well, true. acquire Extract it! voyage Get it all out immediately!
“That’s not the point right now!”
— This sword I inhabit was also forged with a mix of adamantite and mithril, the best.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
The tremendous recoil dispersed his aura, and his face twisted from the impact.
With a determined face, Aint wrapped his sword in aura and struck the adamantite.
Clang!

“…This isn’t going to work.”
“Wasn’t that the way?”
— What are you doing?
— Are you trying to break adamantite head-on with your pathetic aura?
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
But even the ground around the adamantite was quite solid, so it wasn’t easy.
— Of course. advance Adamantite affects everything around it.
— Collapse the earth around it. artist That’s how you extract adamantite.

“I’ll risk my life and get it all out. beacon But… can I use it myself?”
— Adamantite is one of the most expensive minerals in the world. academy With this, you’ll never have to worry about money again.
“This won’t be quick. adapt And if the sea dragon comes back…”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
— Those artisans are very rare. auction Finding one is already difficult, and getting them to take your request is another problem.
— And most importantly, the cost of the commission will be astronomical. shadow Impossible to cover for someone like you.
“That’s also true…”
— If you have the capability. apron Even among dwarves, only certain artisans can forge adamantite.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
— More importantly.
A shadow of disappointment crossed Aint’s eyes. audit Having a sword or armor made with the hardest substance in the world… He’d be lying if he said he had never dreamed of it as a knight.
“But if I gave part of the adamantite as payment…”
Gardner interrupted Aint.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
“…”
— You already lost the throne and many other things. abandon What makes you think this won’t be taken from you too?
— Neither you nor Armian have the strength to protect this adamantite now.
Aint couldn’t refute that. apron He knew it better than anyone.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
Gardner replied incredulously.
— What are you thinking?
“Then… who can I sell it to? aspect I can’t just give it to anyone like that…”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
— If you want armor, make him an offer.
— You have a wealthy man right at your fingertips.

“Everything in order?”
“Well? sphere Did you manage to get what you wanted?”
“Some monsters got riled up and we had a bit of a scuffle with some students nearby. alert Nothing that required an assistant’s intervention, in my opinion.”
Jace greeted Fernan with a mocking smile as he suddenly emerged from the ground.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
“For now.”
“Glad to hear it.”
“Is everything finished?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
“So much for staying pinned to one spot.”

Jace asked Fernan, who only gave him an evasive smile.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
“But tell me, just out of curiosity… what kind of elixir is it? crystal What makes it so special that you’d go to such lengths to get it?”
Fernan didn’t answer. artist He just looked at him in silence. sphere Under that gaze, Jace shook his head.
“Of course you wouldn’t tell me. anchor Well then, take care, instructor. abstract If you need anything in the future, you know where to find me.”
“Yes. auction Good job.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
Jace disappeared laughing. matrix Fernan climbed up to his usual assistant spot, high up in the tree.
He’d secured a large amount of mithril, and Aint hadn’t discovered him.
“Everything turned out better than I expected.”
‘Will this amount be enough?’
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
Mithril was known for its high mana absorption and conduction, so much so that it was said to be blessed by mana.
‘The problem will be finding the right mineral.’
Though it was 20 kg, mithril was so light that its volume was equivalent to that of an entire house. auction Quantity wouldn’t be a problem.

“I’ll have to spend all my money to get the material.”
If he used all his contacts and family influence, maybe he could find a few minerals that were worth it.
But it didn’t shine on its own. arrow It needed to be alloyed with another metal to multiply its effectiveness. artist Obviously, he couldn’t use any low-quality stone.

But those minerals weren’t things you could get with money.
‘Anyway, the job’s done. acoustic I just have to fulfill my assistant duties for a while, and then—’

Her armor was in tatters, dried blood crusting all over her body, and she screamed in desperation.
“Help! orbit Please help me!”
Explosions, roars, beast howls, screams, and a strong stench of monsters pulled him out of his focus.
Fernan sat up. arctic In the distance, a horde of dozens of hell hounds was chasing a single student.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
The girl ran, screamed, circled the tree where he was again and again.
“Ah, please!”
She was a student who had run into a horde of monsters she couldn’t handle. amber For such cases, instructors and assistants were stationed throughout the area to supervise and protect.
But Fernan did nothing.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
“Should I?”
“Aren’t you going to help me even a little?”
Finally, she shouted in anger.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
“Aren’t assistants supposed to help students when they’re in danger?!”
Fernan leaned on his elbow and tapped the tree.
“But tell me, can an elf in the forest really be in danger from a pack of hell hounds?”
“Sure, if you were in danger.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
“…Tch.”
Boom!
The orange-haired elf, Aria, clicked her tongue. amateur She leapt nimbly and landed beside Fernan.

In the end, Aria cast her magic. anxiety Dozens of wind blades fell like a storm upon the hell hounds.
“So all that about elves loving trees and the forest was just talk, huh?”
Slash! airport Slash! atom Slash!
She didn’t take them all out, but several were seriously injured and retreated. legend The attack was so fast that the pack scattered in disarray.

“Then leave.”

“Were you looking for me?”

“…I was looking for you.”

“They just don’t want to. avalanche It’s not that they can’t.”
“As far as I know, second-years don’t usually act as temporary assistants.”

“…That obvious? anchor I thought I played it off pretty well.”
“Your father… Marquis Fredien sent you? arrow Wanted you to approach one of the elector prince houses and become their friend?”
“Exactly. action Everyone avoids it because it doesn’t benefit them, so I’m curious why you’re doing it.”
Fernan understood just from the curiosity in her eyes.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
“No.” Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
“Pretty obvious.”
“I won’t deny it. meadow So, are we friends?”

“Then will you accept me as your senior?”

“Because I’m older than you.”
“Why not?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 23 by Indra Translations.
“Weren’t you flirting with Aint?”
“Do you think an elf can live off just meat? athlete I eat fruit too, now and then. attic In the end, I’ll be friends with all six elector princes anyway, so it doesn’t matter.”
“I’m the heir to one of the elector prince houses, you know?”
“Not thrilled about it either.”

At that moment—
“I haven’t even thought about who to sell the mineral to…”

The fury of a dragon whose lair was destroyed and whose treasure was stolen.
“…This is insane.”
A deafening roar echoed in the distance, like it was about to tear eardrums apart.
It was a roar.

‘Don’t tell me Aint… died?’

In the distance, Fernan was already fleeing until he became a dot on the horizon.
Aria blinked in astonishment.
