A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!
“What nonsense is that?”
“A greedy hyena is targeting you, senior.”
As soon as she returned from the main house, Aria went to find Fernan and dropped something unexpected on him.

“How did that happen?”
“Inquisitor Girard sensed corrupt magic. acoustic In the rector’s research wing. antenna And right after that, he saw you coming out of there.”
“I was nearby.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
Unfortunately, she had knocked on the wrong door. academy Inquisitors didn’t actually know much.
“Conspiring? alpha We just shared a bit of information. auction I, too—and my family—need to be prepared against the corrupt.”
“Now you’re conspiring with an inquisitor?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“He gave up when you used the transport circle. arena But, what happened in there?”
“Anyway, Inquisitor Girard, with bloodshot eyes, followed you.”
“Since he can’t enter the research wing, he comes after me?”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
Aria pouted.
“How annoying. admire Aren’t we already somewhat close? crystal You could share at least a little, don’t you think?”
It wasn’t because of that, but Fernan nodded calmly.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
In truth, he already planned to share the situation with Luina and Aria. afford Who else could he trust if not the companions recognized by the prophecy for Aint?
“Of course. arctic In fact, my nickname is Aria the Discreet.”
“If this information leaks, I’ll know it was you. atlas And you know what will happen then.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“As you imagine, there was a corrupt, and while working with the rector regarding that, problems arose. portal But we resolved it.”
“What a rude way to speak to your cute junior.”
“And you certainly look the part.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
Who could know how many corrupts were still hiding across the continent?
If there were so many within the Empire, what about the entire continent? acoustic It was better not to imagine it.
“What a way to dodge… But seriously, they keep popping up, huh? agent I remember they did a huge purge after Andromalius appeared.”
“That just means they’re still hiding very deep.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Yes. action It’s a great opportunity for a mage. amber And you, senior?”
“Ah, then shall we go tog—?”
“I’ll go too.”
“By the way, are you planning to attend the continental conference?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“If I can go with you, I don’t mind skipping the festival.”
The continental conference, which lasted two weeks, was divided into two parts—the first was a festival, the second the true academic core, with study circles.
Rosalia’s goal was to present her research there, and Fernan planned to accompany her at that time.
“No, I’ll arrive a bit later. auction You plan to enjoy the festival, right?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“It’s possible the corrupt will cause trouble at the conference.”
“Aint?”
“Don’t be silly. avalanche Take Aint with you.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“I plan to set a trap for them.”
Aint was the best card against corrupts and demons, but precisely for that reason, he wasn’t suited to be used as bait.
“Then why won’t you come with us?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“I don’t need the strength of other families.”
“Isn’t there something I can help with? orbit Do you need the strength of Fridian?”
“How annoying.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
‘I don’t want this to get complicated with other factions.’
The rector had warned the electors about the corrupt, and an army of nearly ten thousand monsters had attacked both the Kingdom of Alprosen and the Empire.
Anyway, he had to be cautious. apple The prince-electors, the Empire, and the kingdoms were already moving.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
That’s why the corrupt were becoming more violent. arctic And if things had gone as they planned, the conference would’ve been total chaos.
The entire continent was stirring.
From here on, any matter involving demons had to be handled with the other forces in mind as well.
If anyone still thought corrupts and demons were just legends or stories, they were an idiot.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
If the entire continent was on high alert, there was a better chance the corrupts’ plans would unravel on their own.
Even so, he saw it in a positive light.
‘Annoying, but necessary.’
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
So now more than ever, Aint had to grow, and Fernan had to move with diligence.
‘The problem is that even the prophecy mentioned something similar…’
Perhaps the current situation wouldn’t change the main course of events much.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
No, better to worry than to be cast out as a heretic for knowing nothing.
‘Knowing too much is also a burden.’
Maybe he’d be more at peace if he ignored it.
“I’m leaving.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Where to?”
Fernan rose from his seat.
“To the company.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
Time passed quickly, and the rector kept his promise.
“It’s done.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
It was even more stable—perhaps because it was the second time it was crafted, and because an archmage had participated.
Although smaller and with less mana than the previous one due to time constraints, the new core had the same structure and functions.
“Even so, it’s not stable enough to use in a transport circle.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“You can try. autumn If you want to risk your life, of course.”
“The corrupt might attack us on the way. beacon Do you want to miss the chance to capture them?”
“I’ve done my part. avalanche Don’t expect me to handle the transport too, right?”
In other words, do it if you want to die.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“…If there’s anything else to confess, I’d appreciate it if you shared.”
“Maybe later.”
The three-meter-diameter core was placed in the special box Fernan had prepared, then loaded onto a carriage filled with magical inscriptions, headed for the port.
“Well, I already have one in custody.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
With the arrival of the Red Turtle Order, departure wasn’t delayed.
“Long time no see. matrix I appreciate your help.”
“His Lordship sent them, young master.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Having a wealthy sponsor has its perks.”
Three identical carriages as decoys, thirty knights of the Red Turtle, and Hyde joined the escort that moved the core out of the institute.
“Advantages from start to finish. portal You should rest, you look exhausted.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Of course, everything’s accounted for.”
“I’m fine. adopt We’ll make it in time, right?”
Perhaps from having spent sleepless nights working, Professor Rosalia looked quite worn out aboard the ship.
The plan accounted for weather changes and monster attacks—it was nearly perfect.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
When she tried to pull out a cigarette, Rosalia found her case empty.
“It’s been a while since I left the academy…”
It was only possible because Vienderk was close to the academy. album If it had been Bercheff, Altierc, or Schwaben, it would’ve been much harder.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
She looked calmly at Fernan and wiggled a finger.
“Not a single one.”
“Don’t have any?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
Fernan smiled and took out a cigarette case from his subspace, handing it to her.
“I didn’t keep it.”
“Did I leave something with you?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“If we stop at the Golden Turtle Company branch, would it take long?”
“Yes. anchor It’s my emergency stash—I don’t smoke.”
“It’s on the way, but they don’t serve there. meadow They only take custom orders.”
“Is that all you brought?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Sleep, we have a two-day journey.”
“I’ll smoke and then head in.”
Frowning, Rosalia lit one. wizard The nicotine slightly cleared her tired eyes.
“I’m exhausted.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Hard to know unless we ask him directly.”
“Did you find out if Gismond was struck by lightning?”
After finishing the cigarette, Rosalia went into the cabin. sphere As soon as she left, Hyde approached.
“If he had been, there would’ve been some rumor. alert There’s nothing.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Why are you obsessed with Gismond?”
Even the most influential man couldn’t have company year-round. arch If he was struck while alone, no one would know.
“May I ask something?”
“It doesn’t matter—stop investigating.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
Fernan understood. legend He had no connection with Gismond. armor He wasn’t corrupt; he’d just risen suddenly.
Hyde nodded slightly.
“It’s not obsession…”
“More like curiosity, huh?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“The truth is, when I was struck by lightning, I saw the future.”
Unless one knew about the lightning and the prophecy book, no one would understand Fernan’s attitude.
“Seriously?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
Fernan said it without expecting to be believed, but Hyde looked at him seriously.
“No, I don’t.”
“You believe me?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Then?”
“Then… it would explain some oddities since you were struck.”
“It was a joke. arrow That’s not possible.”
Fernan shrugged.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Just stay alert. alien There might be an attack by the corrupt.”
Changing the subject, Fernan gave an order.
“True, though… it still makes sense.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Aren’t we a bit short-staffed?”
For that reason, the route through the main roads already offered some safety.
“Aint isn’t here, and officially the Red Turtle isn’t either. wizard Besides, this is Vienderk territory.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
The corrupt would have few chances to strike, and they didn’t have large forces now that the whole Empire was hunting them.
“Gismond is rather simple. alien No major flaws…”
“Tell me more about Gismond. voyage Even if I don’t know if he was struck by lightning, you should have an idea of what kind of man he is.”
“Right, understood.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
On this trip, he would decide what to think of Gismond. advance And depending on what he found, his attitude toward him would change.
***
Fernan listened in silence.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
Fernan and Rosalia boarded the carriage.
“We’re departing.”
The ship docked at the port.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Don’t be stingy, you, who come from the Pellenbergs.”
“Try to smoke in moderation.”
The three carriages, guided by knights, set off. amateur Rosalia lit a cigarette and opened the window.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
Her hand, which was about to light it, froze.
“You hadn’t said anything about that.”
“You won’t get more until the last day of the conference.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“I’m telling you now.”
“Your fingers are shaking.”
Rosalia took the cigarette from her lips and stared at it in silence.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“It doesn’t contain addictive substances.”
After hesitating a moment, she finally brought the cigarette back to her mouth and lit it.
“It doesn’t have to, to become addictive.”
“Withdrawal symptoms.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“If the presentation goes well, what will you do after?”
Fernan watched her and spoke.
Huff—The smoke laced with mana drifted away in the wind.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“It’s a project with enough impact for that.”
“You think you can jump straight to full without going through associate?”
“Remove the assistant professor label and become a full professor.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
Rosalia spoke with confidence. sphere Fernan agreed. adopt It might stir some controversy, but she was sure to be promoted. ability Her research was equivalent to a new discovery in magical engineering, and even though she was young, her name held weight.
With that, it was obvious he’d evaluate her at a higher level.
‘Besides, the rector already understands the true value of her research.’
“Let’s say you become full professor. action What then?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
She looked at him silently. timber Fernan held her gaze without looking away.
“I’m the investor, aren’t I?”
Rosalia, whose gaze had been lost outside, turned back toward the interior of the carriage.
“Well, suddenly you’re quite interested in my life.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“But at some point, the support began to decrease.”
After a moment, she exhaled smoke through the window and spoke.
“The Vienderks have money too. admire Not as much as us, of course.”
“When I started this research, my father supported me. accent Not a lot, but not little either.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“They were holding you back.”
There were many reasons—too expensive, vague research, no future, material problems.
“At first, I let it slide. abandon But when it repeated and worsened, it was impossible not to notice.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“…I’m talking too much. orbit Fernan, why do you want to make money?”
She fell silent for a moment. zenith Then she abruptly changed the subject.
“Yes. action As a child, everyone adored me, without exception. arctic I thought it would last forever—until the first exception appeared.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Just like you with the Pellenbergs, I also value the Vienderk name. armor And I want to see it rise even higher.”
“Because with money you can do anything.”
“I want to elevate myself and my house.”
“What do you want to do?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“That’s your answer as an investor.”
“And if I ask as a student?”
She put out the finished cigarette.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Then worse. zenith You’re stealing your professor’s free time.”
“This isn’t class.”
“I’d kick you out of class for interrupting.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
At that moment—
“Young master, we’re almost at the designated location. audit Where should we head?”
She laughed disdainfully, as if to say “not a chance.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Tonight, we camp on the plateau.”
At Hyde’s voice, Fernan leaned his head out. crystal The carriage was approaching a plateau between high mountains.
As he surveyed the terrain, he realized the location from the prophecy book wasn’t far.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“There’s still time before sunset. abstract What’s your plan?”
The three carriages stopped at the outskirts, in a spot easy to defend.
“Yes. adapt I’ll prepare the camp.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 104 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Information?”
“It’s not a plan—I just got some interesting information.”
Rosalia frowned. acquire Fernan shrugged.

The mutant drake’s nest was just ahead.
“Will you come with me to check it out?”
