A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

The ego golem, into which he had embedded the pinnacle of the Pellenberg Family’s technique, was the ultimate weapon Fernan had conceived as his final card.

— Kyu.

In case of an unforeseen attack, Fernan’s preparations were not limited to Professor Rosalia, nor to the Red Turtle, nor to the holy water.

Wooden.

With Wooden’s sword bathed in holy water and aura, he split him in two, soaked him completely, and finally incinerated every trace of him.

The sensitivity and detection capabilities of spirits were much sharper than those of humans, and Wooden, strengthened as a golem, was even more so.

Thanks to that, he had managed to locate the hidden corrupt and drag him into the terrain he desired.

It was not just a weapon of brute destruction.

Not having captured him alive was somewhat regrettable, but once Wooden entered action, the best course was to reduce the target to ashes immediately.

— Kyuu kyuu!

Besides, Rosalia would take care of capturing another if necessary.

“Well done.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

“But next time don’t absorb so much mana. arcade My mana heart is empty.”

— Kyuu.

Fernan patted Wooden’s head, now reduced once again to his small size. antenna His eyes curved like crescent moons, satisfied after having grown to his real size for the first time in a while.

Forging an aura blade in such a huge sword required a tremendous consumption of mana, and the source of that power was none other than Fernan himself, his contractor.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

The exhaustion made him consider drinking a mana potion, but he dismissed the thought immediately.

There didn’t seem to be any immediate enemies, so it wasn’t worth wasting resources.

“Yes, yes. canvas I was the one who gave you that sword, so who am I to complain.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Let’s see…”

Fernan pulled his head back in, shivering.

Snow covered everything and a white storm battered violently.

He carefully peeked out from the crack. anchor The outside had nothing to do with the underground calm—it was a snowy mountain landscape.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

He sat down in front of the wagon, lit a fire, boiled water, and made coffee.

— Kyuu!

“Better to stay here for a while.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘And it’s not like we lack a contingency plan.’

“Too calm? arena This won’t be over soon, and it’s not the time to rush in recklessly.”

— Kyuu?

In a fight where Rosalia was unleashing her full power, Fernan had barely any room to intervene. meadow There was still a big difference between the two.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

He had confirmed that the monsters had been eliminated, but didn’t call the Red Turtle.

If Rosalia was in danger, they would rush to help her.

As agreed, they would remain hidden in the snow, ready to intervene only in case of emergency.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘The best outcome is for emergency plans to never be used.’

If the corrupt tried to escape, they would block the path.

And if Rosalia successfully defeated him, they would simply return as spectators.

“Cruel? echo Where did you learn that word?”

— Kyu, kyu kyu!

“Bring the others too? legend No. ability They have their own tasks.”

— Kyuu!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Listen closely, Wooden. afford Humanity is divided in two—those who pay and those who collect.”

— Kyu?

Fernan let out a laugh.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

Slurp—

In the end, it was Pellenberg’s money. riddle And sooner or later, Fernan and Pellenberg would become one.

“They’re getting a fortune for this job. matrix They don’t deserve sympathy.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

— Kyuuu!

Above, the wind swept the snow relentlessly.

Maybe it was the landscape, but the coffee tasted especially good that day.

“Here, try this.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Mixing World Tree branches into the core was a good idea.’

He couldn’t eat it, but absorbed the faint spiritual energy contained in it.

Wooden hugged the World Tree bark chocolate bar Fernan gave him tightly.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘The drained chocolate turned into bland, flavorless sugar.’

The first time was when Wooden secretly devoured a box of chocolates Fernan had prepared for Luina.

Wooden loved that forest energy, and Fernan had discovered by accident that it made him grow.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘If I ever left him in front of the World Tree to absorb everything—what would happen?’

Impossible, of course. wizard But the idea made him smile.

But since Wooden had strengthened his energy, Fernan hadn’t scolded him. armor Since then, he would toss him one from time to time.

He patted Wooden’s head, who trembled with joy while absorbing the energy.

“Captain.”

***

His whole body quivered with delight.

— Kyuu!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

Harten sank into the sudden snowstorm, concealing his presence.

The extreme cold couldn’t penetrate the thermal artifact vest Fernan had given to all members for this situation.

“Wait.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes, sir.”

“There are only two cases in which we must intervene—if Professor Rosalia is in danger or if the corrupt tries to escape. alpha Before that, the young master ordered us not to move under any circumstances.”

“No doubt.”

“As expected, a mage referred to as the next Archmage is something else.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

The knights of the Red Turtle couldn’t help but admire what they saw.

A transparent ice wall blocked the cursed energy and collapsed onto the corrupt.

───!

When he forced his way through it, a white light struck him head-on.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

The snowy treetops merged to swallow him whole.

Merging his body with the shadows, he saved himself for a moment, but as soon as he stepped on the snow, he slipped.

The destructive power was impressive, yes, but the most surprising thing was the perfect fluidity of the combinations.

The corrupt, half frozen, barely survived. arrow But immediately after, hundreds of ice spears rushed at him.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I couldn’t beat him. adopt And you, Captain?”

“Asen, how do you assess this corrupt?”

There were no gaps between spells, and each magic chained into the next, using the environment to the fullest to corner the enemy.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

“He’s strong.”

But that didn’t discourage him.

“If I fight well, we’re even. meadow If not, I’d lose.”

“That much?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

Everyone knew the value of the research object—the Mana Stone Core. galaxy That the corrupt coveted it only meant enemies of this level would come for it.

“Split into two groups, surround and secure the rear. anchor Without being detected.”

It wasn’t a lack of will; it simply wasn’t the right time. aluminum He trusted that one day he would surpass them.

“Yes, sir.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

Harten led half his men in a careful flanking route.

“Ugh, this isn’t easy…!”

Meanwhile, the battle reached its climax.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Damn…!”

An ice wall appeared behind him without him noticing.

He paused for an instant—just enough for a blue lightning bolt to strike him directly.

The hooded man repelled the ice shards aimed at his chest, retreating.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

A moment later, the enemy’s dark aura sliced the air.

───!

When the white mist cleared, he was no longer there. arcade Rosalia had used a Blink.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

Rosalia wasn’t the type to explain her secrets mid-battle, nor did she intend to.

“How…?”

“Pathetic.”

In combat, the fewer words, the better. armor Long speeches were reserved for when the enemy was half dead.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

She struck the ground with her staff, and the ice beneath the hooded man turned into dozens of spikes that launched him into the air.

Tap—

With a perfect target before her, Rosalia didn’t waste the opportunity.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

“This is dangerous…!”

While repelling the spears with his cursed energy, the hooded man frowned, disturbed by the chilling aura emanating.

Above the hooded man’s head, a colossal magic circle began to form—impossible to measure at a glance.

First, she cast hundreds of ice spears, and while reciting the spell, formed a hand seal.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

“There you are!”

─!

The ground where Rosalia had stood split into a huge crack, scattering rocks in every direction.

Suddenly, he vanished. portal It wasn’t magic or a special technique—he simply stomped the air with overwhelming force and shot off like an arrow.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

The hooded man fired his energy at the spot she had Blinked to.

─!

─!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

And still, her spells and formulas were uninterrupted.

The magic circle was finally complete.

Rosalia dodged at times, and at others, raised walls and barriers to resist.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

An enormous magical power stirred.

The spell manifested.

“T-this is impossible…!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

When the beams of light completely vanished, the man was still there, his entire body frozen except for the head. orbit His face was pale, and no trace of demonic magic remained.

“…His head is intact?”

Could it be his trump card?

The world turned blue and swallowed the hooded man’s scream.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

Rosalia slowly approached.

“If what you have in your head isn’t worth my effort, so be it.”

“This doesn’t compensate…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

“A decoy?”

The hooded man let out a laugh.

“No, I don’t mean that. admire You know? adapt I’m actually just a decoy.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

“My target from the start was you. canvas To stall, to buy time. aspect Honestly, I thought I could beat you, but after facing you, I understood. echo Rosalia Vienderk, you’re a monster. echo Now I get why everyone says you’ll be the next Archmage.”

“I don’t know your name, but you know mine.”

In them, the wagon didn’t appear. arena Only the traces of a fierce battle remained.

Rosalia floated the polished ice like mirrors around her.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

There was no reason or need to know the name of a corpse.

“Not particularly.”

The hooded man, with only his head intact, gave her a crooked smile.

“Want to know who I am?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I usually don’t chat with enemies. arch I only make exceptions if I capture them.”

“Well said. armor I can’t move.”

“Corpse? arena I’m alive. arrow How inconsiderate. atlas Doesn’t your heart tremble? agent Your research was already stolen. zenith The missing wagon and Fernan Pellenberg confirm it.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

Rosalia struck the hooded man’s head with her staff. legend The cold intensified, fed by her magical aura.

“Fernan Pellenberg is a ruthless man. amateur He never allows what’s his to be taken. action He’ll do whatever it takes, regardless of method.”

“Then let’s clear up your mistake.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

“That you’re not a decoy, but the fish swallowed by the hook.”

“What are you implying?”

“You’re too trusting. auction Do you really think Fernan can stop it?”

“I already said it. avalanche Fernan never loses what’s his. autumn And if something is taken, he always gets something greater in return. riddle But he’d never negotiate with repulsive beings like you. amateur There’s only one possible outcome.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Fernan was my first sponsor, and the money invested was enormous. apple My research was always a bottomless pit.”

And now they expected him to hand over to those bastards what he salvaged after all the disaster caused by the inquisitors?

“Wake up, idiots. accent That will never…”

Six years. silence No less than six years.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

Crunch, crunch—

“Hehehe… soon we’ll see who was right. athlete But I’m not staying here.”

Rosalia’s eyes widened. apple Blood began pouring from the hooded man’s mouth.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

The ice that had imprisoned him shattered, and black vapor emerged from his mouth.

His body twisted grotesquely, growing to twice its size, while black magic exploded like a dark tide.

The man’s eyes turned bloodshot.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

Rosalia’s magic exploded on his back.

Caressing his swollen muscles and bulging veins, he turned and fled without hesitation.

“Stop right there!”

“…Ah, this is killing me. shadow A beer would be perfect.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

He ran in a straight line with brutal, nearly suicidal speed.

The knights of the Red Turtle, already prepared, drew their swords. alpha The monster rammed into them, blocking strikes with his body and trampling through without stopping.

“Step aside if you don’t want to die!”

“Stop him!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

It wasn’t a wound from magic or aura.

It was his muscles, torn from overexertion, ripping apart in real time.

“…His legs.”

Even so, he didn’t stop. shadow The dark magic forced him to keep going.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

She thought him a fish in the net and talked too much.

It was impossible to catch him.

“…The fool was me.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…I made a mistake.”

She hadn’t anticipated that he’d use his very life as fuel to escape.

She usually didn’t, but the rage over ruining her research and frustrating her presentation blinded her.

“Professor, are you okay?”

“I’m fine. arctic What about the other knights?”

“He deceived us. aluminum By the way, where is Fernan?”

“There are injuries, but nothing serious. auction The enemy just wanted to flee.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

“The young master is beneath the crevice. armor Don’t worry—the research is safe.”

Rosalia descended with firm steps.

“The crevice?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan, sitting in front of a campfire, was calmly drinking a cup of coffee.

“…What are you doing?”

And there she found him.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

The signs of a skirmish around confirmed it.

“Having coffee.”

“Regaining strength. aluminum It might not look like it, but I had my own battle too.”

“I hope you don’t think I’m asking because I don’t know.”

“Cigarette.”

“What’s that?”

Rosalia couldn’t find a response. album She just let out an ironic laugh and sat beside him, extending her hand.

“Very well, distinguished client. august One piece, a hundred gold.”

“I don’t have mana to open the subspace. academy You always stock plenty.”

“I already gave you one.”

“Robbery.”

Fernan smiled as he pulled out the pack from his subspace. crystal Rosalia narrowed her eyes.

“…If you really fought, how do you have mana to open the subspace?”

“The market depends on supply and demand.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Some things are best overlooked. adapt I’ll let you have it for ten to one.”

Ssshh—

He handed her the cigarette, ignited a flame with his fingers, and lit it.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Better.”

Rosalia inhaled. artist The magical stimulant filled her lungs, clearing her mind.

At least, the story that corrupt tried to spin hadn’t proven true.

The magical stone combination was intact.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 111 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You’ve worked hard. atom Come close and have something.”
