A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

After a copper mine was discovered on his lands, Yurik Bellins had founded his own company to sell it and was hoping to use Pellenberg’s distribution network.

The deceased was Yurik Bellins, head of the viscountal House of Bellins.

“I remember him. anxiety He came a couple of times to negotiate with our family and the Golden Turtle Company.”

If anyone wanted to do business in the Empire, sooner or later they’d end up dealing with the Pellenbergs.

“Everyone, step back!”

The city guard arrived immediately, dispersing the crowd.

Some collected the body while others went up into the hotel.

“Make way!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

“As far as I know, Viscount Yurik had no reason to kill himself. audit Besides, I heard the mage he was sponsoring was going to present research at this very conference.”

“Could it have been suicide?”

“So murder?”

“To kill someone in Vienderk, during the continental conference, is the same as declaring war on the duchy.”

Falling out a window drunk—although for that, he’d have had to drink more than just a couple of bottles.

“Most likely, yes. arctic Though along with the stench of blood, there was also a faint smell of alcohol.”

“Could it have been an accident?”

It wasn’t just an affront—it was a blow to their honor. autumn And worse, the victim was a noble.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hey, that’s…!”

“From now on, no one may leave the hotel!”

“We ask for your cooperation.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

More guards arrived and cordoned off the hotel, preventing anyone from leaving.

“What now, young master?”

Fernan and Hyde quietly slipped out before getting caught.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

“He was a man with no reason to die, and yet he’s dead. audit Something doesn’t add up…”

But what would they gain from killing a mere viscount?

Could it be the work of the corrupt?

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

He found them in the dining room, eating dinner.

“For now, let’s meet with Aint and Aria. voyage We’ll think after.”

He already knew where they were staying—in a modest inn on the outskirts of the city.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Oh, senior! amber You’ve arrived!”

“And why the hell do you have your face covered in the middle of a dining hall?”

Aria waved her hand, her long elven ears twitching.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What a ridiculous excuse.”

“He doesn’t want to draw attention.”

Fernan sat next to Aint, who was eating pasta with his hood up.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

“They couldn’t?”

“You should be more worried about whether anyone could even recognize you.”

“Ridiculous? athlete Just imagining someone recognizing me as an Armian and trying to entangle me with other nobles gives me the chills. accent At least for now.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even when he enrolled in the academy, it had only been a topic for a few days.

No one knew what Aint looked like.

Since the Armian family lost the crown, they had lived in isolation, with no contact with the outside world.

“It’d be a miracle if they did.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

The only thing that proved his lineage was the aura of light. afford But if he had to use that, it would already be a situation where discretion didn’t matter.

“Besides, neither you nor the Armian bloodline have unique features. avalanche There are thousands of blondes with brown eyes on the continent.”

“Seen that way, I guess you’re right. auction Though… are you sure no one will notice?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

Aint hesitated but eventually removed his hood. timber No one in the dining room paid him any attention.

“Maybe the Vienderk nobles. altitude And a few high-ranking officials keeping an eye on the Armians.”

“You look healthy. orbit I guess you enjoyed the festival.”

“That sounds different…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

“But more importantly—what about leads on the corrupt?”

“Yeah, quite a bit.”

Aint lowered his voice.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Specifically…?”

“There are traces leading here.”

“That’s what we have to find out. athlete What they plan to do at the presentations.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

Originally, the corrupt had planned to summon a demon during the conference.

In truth, even Fernan didn’t know.

He had foiled that move. galaxy But would they give up—or try something else?

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

That also needed to be considered.

‘But after failing to summon the demon, what would make them cling so hard to the presentations?’

With so many powerful people gathered, the conference was a tempting target.

That was why he had brought Aint—he couldn’t rule out the latter.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

Kyaaaaaa!

Then Aria paused.

“People…? portal Someone…?”

“You’re talking about the mage presentations—the climax of the conference? alert If they cause chaos there, it would be a huge blow to the continent. autumn With all those leaders present.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan immediately looked out the window. orbit In the avenue, there was another corpse.

Another person dead!

And it wasn’t the only one.

Screams echoed in every direction.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Stop right there!”

The stench of blood hung in the air.

“Everyone stay put! voyage This building is now under control!”

Guards appeared from all directions.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

The death of Viscount Yurik Bellins was only the beginning.

【Terrified citizens—what was Vienderk doing all this time?】

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

No fewer than eleven victims. arena Nobles from the Empire, various kingdoms, and even members of royal families.

The next morning, every newspaper headline covered the killings.

【Lives taken in a single night. atomic Is Vienderk still safe?】

【Large-scale massacre in Vienderk territory. arrow Who was behind it?】

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

It wasn’t a light question. galaxy A massacre of nobles and royalty had occurred on his own soil. academy It could escalate into an international diplomatic crisis.

If he didn’t find a culprit that everyone could accept—quickly—the consequences would be unpredictable.

“How do you think the duke will respond?”

The fury of their families reached the heavens. anchor Vienderk was forced to react—they deployed massive troops, sealed off the city, and began the hunt for those responsible. ability Rumors said the duke himself was on the way.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I just wanted your opinion.”

“Do you know how long it’s been since I left Vienderk? altitude And you still ask me that?”

Fernan sighed.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

Hyde had gone to investigate who had died, how, and what kind of people they were.

A heavy silence fell over the room. apron Rosalia lit a cigarette while Fernan asked a servant for coffee.

“Where’s your assistant?”

“I sent him to the company.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’m stepping out.”

“Can you? adapt The city’s on lockdown.”

Fernan stood up.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was difficult to stop the heir of another elector—and even more so if he was accompanied by Vienderk’s legitimate heiress.

“I can do it, but the smart thing would be to stay put.”

“If you help me, Professor.”

“I have my own plans.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

Rosalia looked at him knowingly.

“If I can. voyage But it’s not my role.”

“You’re going to find Aint.”

“Going to solve it?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I don’t care.”

“Exactly.”

“Ludger doesn’t look kindly on you.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Not right now. avalanche There are priorities.”

And he was right. academy If the killings had occurred in Vienderk—with so much guard presence and security—they couldn’t have been ordinary criminals. august It had to be the work of the corrupt.

Fernan shook his head.

“Really?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

With Rosalia’s help, Fernan obtained a brief permit to leave. audit Upon reaching the inn where Aint and Aria were staying, he called out.

“If my prediction is correct, this is the work of the corrupt.”

“Me?”

“Aint, it’s your turn to act.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You already told us that part, but was it really the corrupt?”

“They tried to summon a demon at the conference through Professor Rosalia, but they were stopped. timber After failing, they planned this.”

It wasn’t a supposition or a guess. alert It was certainty.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

Of course not. portal Just seeing that even some of Vienderk’s strongest knights were guarding the city hall gave the answer.

The city guard was more than twice its usual number, and their level exceeded that of ordinary soldiers. aluminum Security checks were strict, and everyone entering was verified. arch They had done everything possible.

“Do you think Vienderk would have such careless security?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even so, someone had managed to infiltrate and commit murders. acoustic The conclusion was singular: the corrupt.

“The corrupt receive power from demons, and thanks to that, they possess extraordinary abilities. athlete If not, how else do you explain what happened?”

“Eleven dead, Aint. airport Not even an elector prince’s house, using its full power, could assassinate eleven nobles in a single night within a city under Vienderk’s direct protection.”

“……”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Would it even be possible for them?”

Of course, if they truly set their minds to it, that would be a different story. altitude But since no house had done so, the only remaining possibility was the corrupt.

“Hey, why are you dragging me into this?!”

“The elf sitting next to you didn’t even know what she was doing during her vacation, all because she had fallen under a corrupt’s mental manipulation.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

Loyal servants rarely betrayed their masters; it was unthinkable they would do so of their own free will. palette But with mental manipulation, it was a different story.

“If Jace hadn’t cured her, she’d still be unaware she had been under mind control. acoustic The corrupt have those methods.”

Aria, who had said nothing until then, raised her voice indignantly.

That’s why Fernan was convinced only the corrupt could have done something like this.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

Vienderk wasn’t stupid. anchor They would have reached the same inevitable conclusion Fernan had.

“That’s why I think Vienderk knows it too. ability There’s no other explanation.”

“…Horrible.”

“What if they manipulated the minds of the servants, the pages, or the maids of the dead nobles to carry out the murders?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

Or rather, the symbol of Armian.

“You have to do it. atom Isn’t your symbol the war against demons?”

“…If they already know, then isn’t my intervention unnecessary?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You just need to prove it. agent Show that this was the work of the corrupt.”

“Exactly.”

“You want me to find corrupt magic?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan fell silent, thinking.

“Then…”

“And then?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Is it too soon?’

‘But this incident will make the entire continent know his name.’

Aint still hadn’t achieved anything solid. anxiety He didn’t have his own group at the academy yet, nor had he recovered much of Armian’s power, and his personal strength wasn’t enough yet to defeat a royal knight in one blow.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Besides, with Luina, Aria, Verian, and me supporting him from the shadows…’

Two elector houses, one former elector house, and the family closest to that level in the entire Empire.

Even if he revealed it now, the essence wouldn’t change.

If things followed the prophecy’s path, Aint would be the one to defeat the summoned demon in front of kings, nobles, and powerful figures, minimizing casualties.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan murmured quietly.

No one would dare crush Aint. orbit He would make sure of that himself.

“A hero.”

“Eh?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’ll make you a hero. alpha Humanity’s hope against the demons.”

“…I don’t understand.”

“You just have to be a hero.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Image work is what I do best.”

After all, what mattered was how a product was sold.

Fernan gripped Aint’s shoulder tightly, almost growling.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 106 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan had made his decision—from now on, he would market Aint as his star product.

“Get ready. antique When this is over, there won’t be a single person on the continent who doesn’t know your name.”
