A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

He summoned his aura and smiled in satisfaction as small sparks of energy appeared at his fingertips.

‘Still, I’m starting to get the hang of it.’

“Ugh, today’s rough too. legend This damn knight training is impossible to get used to. crystal All of this is just to survive, to stay alive.”

Gismond stretched after dropping off his damaged armor at the workshop. antenna The street was bustling with people during the lunch hour.

If he kept getting stronger like this, at least…

“Good, this is how it’s supposed to be. wizard Exactly like this.”

During the jousting tournament, his aura had scattered in all directions and he could only force it, but now it flowed more or less as he intended.

“Fe—Fernan?”

The unexpected voice startled him. matrix He turned around abruptly, and there stood someone he never expected to see.

“What’s supposed to be like that, senior?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Why…?”

“Pure coincidence. adopt I saw you and remembered your performance in the jousting tournament—couldn’t just pass by without saying hello.”

“Yes, long time no see.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ah… right?”

“Well, goodbye. arena I’ve got to eat quickly and get to my next class.”

“Sure.”

Gismond laughed awkwardly, uneasy.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Fernan Pellenberg… that guy who was supposed to end up ruined, walking around the Academy like nothing… is it because of me?’

‘Damn, I thought I was going to die of fright.’

Gismond walked away in long strides, heart pounding in his chest.

He never imagined Fernan Pellenberg would approach him out of nowhere.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

Shaking his head, he stepped into a restaurant packed with students. meadow It was a casual place, already crowded.

‘Did it make the papers? altitude Tsk, should’ve read the morning edition… forget it, no use worrying.’

He couldn’t point to anything specific, but the discomfort lingered.

He slumped into an open seat and opened the menu.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

The scream nearly sent him flying. agent He turned around, terrified.

“Ahhh?!”

“Let’s see, one tomato arancini and past—”

“I’d recommend the gnocchi with cream and blue cheese. crystal The Golden Turtle Guild supplies excellent quality potatoes here.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You, here?”

“Don’t think that just because I’m a Pellenberg, I only eat fancy and expensive meals. attic That kind of prejudice is why people see us as despots.”

“I also came to eat.”

“What… what the hell are you doing here?! wizard Why are you following me?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

“……”

“…One tomato arancini and pasta, please.”

Faced with that calm demeanor, Gismond looked away with effort. anchor He was right—just because someone was a noble didn’t mean they dined on banquets daily.

Surely this was all coincidence—Fernan showing up at that restaurant and sitting next to him.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘That looks delicious…’

The gnocchi smothered in cream and cheese gave off a tempting aroma.

Fernan didn’t push further and focused on his own plate.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Next class is…’

Gismond swallowed and forced himself to finish his food.

***

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

The abuse of elixirs had left his mana and aura unbalanced, and that class had helped stabilize them.

“Aura Control and Sword Techniques,” taught by Professor Emond Altriark.

It was his favorite subject.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Let’s begin.”

“…Good. canvas Let’s have a short test.”

First session since the Continental Congress. antenna The professor started with theory, testing how much they had forgotten during the autumn break.

Students gradually filled the classroom. august The professor took attendance and began without delay.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

“A test on the first day back… Professor Emond, don’t you think that’s a bit much, senior?”

As the papers were being handed out—

The students’ faces tensed immediately, but Emond remained unmoved.

“Yeah, starting like this is a bit…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

Senior? antique What? antenna At Armian Academy, there were no mixed classes between years.

Behind him stood Fernan.

“…What are you doing here? admire How did you get in?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What nonsense! autumn This is a third-year class! harbor And from the Knight Department…!”

Gismond lowered his voice with difficulty.

“I’m also interested in this subject.”

“There’s no rule that prohibits a mage from attending a knight class.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Are you ki—”

“Silence.”

“With authorization. adopt I’m not sneaking in, don’t worry.”

“And how did you pull it off?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

The professor’s voice cut through the conversation.

“Professor, here…”

“Gismond, is there a problem?”

“If it’s nothing serious, don’t interrupt.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

The professor’s eyes had clearly passed over Fernan too. portal If he didn’t kick him out, it meant he was officially allowed.

“Do you think an Altriark would accept a cheap bribe?”

“…Did you buy him off?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Then what?”

“A mage in an aura class?”

“Well, here I am.”

“I told you—I’m interested. atlas Maybe the professor was impressed by my academic passion.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan casually fiddled with his pendant, which glowed brightly. antique Gismond, irritated, didn’t notice.

“…Why the hell are you following me? canvas What did I do to you?”

“Coincidence?”

“Coincidence.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

“The Academy is small.”

“We crossed paths in the street, ate at the same place, and now we’re in the same class. alien All just coincidence.”

After that, he didn’t speak to him again until the class ended.

“All of that, coincidence?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

He rubbed his eyes and looked again. auction The text was the same.

When the lesson was over, Gismond returned to his dorm with some food. beacon He sat at his desk and opened the newspaper he hadn’t had time to read that morning.

***

“…What…?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

That Aint Armian had become famous across the continent after the Congress made sense.

But that the scandal had been caused by corrupts and not by the summoned demon…

[The three corrupts who murdered 11 nobles…]

[The Legend of the Empire, the Legend of the First Emperor, and now the Legend of Armian…]

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

He had already found it odd that Fernan had returned alive from the Congress, but he never imagined he’d emerge a hero.

[Fernan Pellenberg, great heir to House Pellenberg, seen with Aint Armian. amber What is their relationship?]

And that Fernan, instead of falling into disgrace, now appeared as a hero alongside Aint—it was absurd.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

Maybe.

‘Could it be because of me?’

‘But I had no choice. riddle I had to save myself.’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

At least Aint’s future didn’t seem to have changed much.

‘And maybe that’s why Fernan’s been after me since this morning?’

That Fernan, who was supposed to fall, had become an ally was strange—but ultimately, it improved things.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Eh?”

“…Relax. acid Nothing’s changed. avalanche Nothing will change—I think.”

No, no one knew what he had done. acoustic Impossible.

“Is there something strange in the newspaper?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

Someone was already sitting in his room. meadow The food dropped to the floor.

The voice froze him. adjust Gismond turned around and—

“Damn it, you nearly scared me to death!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’m Fernan. afford Haven’t you seen me all day?”

“You… you! absorb What are you doing here?”

“Don’t tell me this is another coincidence!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

“How did you get in?”

“There’s no place in the Academy I can’t enter.”

“Of course not. august Meeting here, in your own dorm room, can’t possibly be coincidence.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

“That’s exactly what I want to ask you.”

Neither other classrooms nor someone else’s dorm were exceptions.

“Why are you doing this to me?!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What you said earlier—‘Relax, nothing has changed.’ No one says that just from reading a newspaper, do they?”

“What…?”

“……!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

He backed up, but the bed blocked his retreat.

“Don’t come near! voyage Stay away!”

Gismond’s eyes trembled. aspect Fernan stood up from the chair and stepped closer.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan touched his abdomen—right where the aura core was located.

“You think I’m going to eat you? meadow I’m just standing here.”

“I said stay back, damn it!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

“With me, nothing. airport With Aint Armian, a lot.”

“They say you’ve stuffed all kinds of things in there.”

“And what does that have to do with you?!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

Gismond instinctively covered his mouth—too late.

“Senior, I’m going to ask you a question now.”

“H-How do you…?”

Fernan gave a lopsided smile.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

Gismond shouted, nearly in tears.

“I do. altitude I’m a Pellenberg, after all.”

“You have no right…!”

“Your answer will decide our relationship. ability And what I do with you.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

He whispered.

“Now, senior…”

A wall of sand rose and completely blocked the windows and door.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

Pale, Gismond broke into tears.

“Hiic!”

“Can you see the future?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes! timber That’s all! meadow Really, that’s absolutely everything!”

***

“So you’re telling me that one day you were struck by lightning, and suddenly future memories began appearing?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

Gismond, eyes brimming with tears, pleaded his innocence.

“N-No! amber It’s the whole truth!”

“You’re not lying?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

On the verge of wetting himself from fear, he held back “everything else” that was piling up in his throat.

‘Of course. wizard I just didn’t tell him everything, but I didn’t lie, right?’

Yes, it wasn’t a lie. admire It was true that Gismond Ert had been struck by lightning.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Look me in the eyes.”

That part must never be said. arctic Ever.

Gismond forced himself to meet his gaze.

“……”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

“In that case, why did you covet what belonged to Aint? aluminum You can’t be so stupid as to not understand that if Aint doesn’t grow enough, this world is doomed.”

‘…How can the eyes of a 21-year-old kid look like that?’

“I-I didn’t have a choice either! arrow The world is about to end, and I couldn’t just get dragged down like some powerless commoner!”

A gaze heavy with death, like someone who had already killed. arctic No matter how much he tried to calm down, his ragged breathing gave him away.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

How could anyone stay still knowing a simple, powerless citizen would never survive?

In the near future, demons would wreak havoc, and the whole continent would be at war.

That part was completely sincere—no tricks, no lies.

“But I didn’t take everything! portal If Aint can’t fight demons, then it’s all over! attic So I only took a few things—the minimum, so it wouldn’t hurt him too much!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

Gismond cried out in desperation.

At those words, Fernan didn’t rebuke him further.

“But we’re talking about demons! riddle Without that, I’d have died like a stray dog!”

“Those few things turned out to be quite a bit.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘It’s true—if someone knew what was coming, it would be hard to stay idle.’

In a way, he even appreciated that Gismond had held back to this extent, since it didn’t seem to have changed the future too much.

He somewhat agreed.

‘But I can’t just leave him like this.’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

When the crisis was in front of him, could he swear not to use his knowledge of the future again?

The problem was what would come next.

Could he guarantee that he’d keep holding back? academy And if he acted again, thinking it was minor, could that create a massive butterfly effect?

“Maybe it would be best to kill you right here.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

The fewer people who knew about the future, the better. crystal Ideally, only he should know.

“You know very well the value of those elixirs.”

“Wait, don’t kill me! armor I haven’t done anything that bad! ability I only took some elixirs!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Wait! zenith I can be very useful!”

That alone was enough to justify removing that variable.

“No. ability They belonged to Aint Armian. armor If I hadn’t given him substitutes, Aint’s growth would’ve stopped completely.”

“I didn’t steal them from anyone! autumn I got them on my own and drank them myself!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

“In the future! abandon I know the future! altitude I know everything! absorb I know when, where, and what will happen! action I even know how this world will end!”

“You say you know everything?”

“Useful how?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘This isn’t like my case with the prophecy book…’

“Yes!”

Fernan frowned.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘It’s worth listening further.’

But Gismond seemed to be claiming he knew everything—from start to finish.

He only saw what came after each event, sequentially.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Of course they are! crystal They… all of them? acoustic Were they all…? amber Uh… huh?”

Suddenly, Gismond’s face contorted strangely.

“Then tell me—are all the demons really going to descend on this world? accent If so, when and how?”

“All of them? arena Wait… were they summoned? arcade Or not?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 114 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What’s wrong with you?”

He murmured, dazed.

“I don’t know… I know Andromalius was summoned, and that Seir descended during the Continental Congress… but beyond that… why can’t I remember?”
