A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

Starting with the rank 72 demon, Andromalius, followed by the rank 70 demon, Seir, the rank 69 demon, Decarabia, and even the rank 66 demon, Kimaris.

It hadn’t even been two years since he obtained the prophecy book, and already four demons had descended or nearly done so.

Although Seir and Decarabia were prevented from descending thanks to Fernan, the fact that they had come so close to doing so was undeniable.

‘The Aint of now is strong.’

That’s why Fernan valued Aint even more.

The war against the demons was no longer a matter of the distant future or a ridiculous fantasy.

‘If things continue like this, it’s only natural for Armian to reclaim the throne.’

That, along with the help of Sir Gardner himself, the first Royal Knight, and the power of Armian.

If Luina had the potential to become the next Royal Knight, in Fernan’s eyes, Aint was someone with the potential to become the youngest Royal Knight in history.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

That’s why he advised him to surround himself with mercenaries.

For Aint, whose house lacked sufficient power, there was no better support force than mercenaries.

As long as Aint had the ambition, Schwaben wouldn’t stand a chance.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘In that sense, that guy would’ve been useful… what a shame.’

Even if the prophecy book hadn’t mentioned it yet, surely the Aint of the future also expanded his strength in this way.

‘And having Varus as a companion will be another great advantage.’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan glanced at Roderick Fisher, who was leading the mercenaries beside Aint.

Waaaah!

Roderick, who killed a creature in a single blow and charged forward, was at a level among the best in the mercenary world.

“Demonic beasts! anxiety Make way!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

Of course, there wasn’t a mercenary who didn’t idolize him.

‘It’s said he idolizes the King of Mercenaries, right?’

That’s why he named his group “Blue Wolves,” similar to the “Red Wolves” of the Mercenary King.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘But for a corrupted to idolize a man who killed a demon doesn’t make sense…’

A mercenary, someone who values money and life above all, leading the way?

But seeing him at the front, leading the charge, was strange.

It was pure coincidence that Fernan noticed him among those storming the hideout from all sides.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

Maybe he wanted to earn the trust of Aint and Fernan, or maybe he just trusted in his strength.

With the help of the Golden Pillar, he investigated the background of the three mercenary captains, but found nothing unusual.

‘There was nothing suspicious in the records of any of the three.’

Fernan thought that too at first and, as a precaution, sent Wooden to observe. matrix He never imagined he’d find such prey.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

— Kyu?

If he hadn’t seen with his own eyes the actions of that damned corrupted, Fernan would have trusted Roderick Fisher without hesitation.

They were all mercenaries who lived for money, easy to trust if paid fairly.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes. alien From what I felt, among the corrupted, he was someone of high rank. zenith We’ll pretend ignorance and keep him close while we figure out the best way to use him.”

Fernan patted Wooden’s head. advance Hyde asked,

“Will you keep watching him?”

“Well done. alpha It’s thanks to you.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

Anyone who dared take his money and then betray him would never die peacefully.

Fernan twisted the corner of his lips.

And if they were corrupted, even less so.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

From just that brief conversation between Roderick and the corrupted, he had already gained a lot of information.

Besides, killing him right away would be a waste.

‘That now I’m considered as dangerous as Aint… that there are hierarchies even among the corrupted…’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

And finally, that even the demons weren’t as united as they seemed.

Serving another demon, it was clear he didn’t revere Kimaris.

‘Now that I think about it, when we obtained the First Emperor’s legacy, there were paintings with demons…’

‘That corrupted insulted Kimaris.’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

“No, we won’t. amber That guy shows all his thoughts on his face.”

“Should we tell Aint…?”

This deserved further thought, more information.

And in those paintings, the demons appeared facing each other, as if in confrontation.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

“That’s true. attic Still, it’s surprising. afford In the end, there was a corrupted Aint couldn’t uncover…”

He had already advised him to win over the mercenaries, and Aint was making the effort.

“I’m not that surprised, I suspected. alert Now I’m sure, and that’s enough.”

What remained was to see how far Aint would go.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

After closing that topic, Fernan asked something else.

Thanks to that, several mercenaries were already leaning in his favor.

“In any case, even without that, that Roderick will probably wag his tail like a dog.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hyde, are there any more leads?”

They had found more lairs, yes, but nothing that connected them to the demons or to Frazia’s nobles.

‘Just because the corrupted are active doesn’t mean the nobles are involved…’

“We’re following the tracks found in the hideouts, but nothing new.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

Especially because that corrupted, Roderick, was handing over other corrupted on a silver platter.

“And the black obsidian mine?”

“We found it and it’s under development, just as you said. agent With the troops the duke sent us, things are going smoothly.”

Were they too well hidden? admire Or maybe there was no connection? arctic Still, the doubt remained.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s during easy times when we must be most careful. audit Check everything again.”

Maybe because he had defeated Kimaris, Fernan caught himself being overconfident.

“Good—no, wait.”

Self-confidence? atlas What nonsense, after just one win against a demon.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Of course.”

There was no guarantee it wouldn’t happen a third time.

“Hopefully some trace of that damned Flauros appears…”

The future had already veered off quite a bit, and they had managed to stop two demon descents before they happened—Seir and Decarabia.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

Until winter ended.

***

But what Fernan sought didn’t appear.

“It’s over! arctic No demonic beasts left in the hideout! academy The corrupted all committed suicide! attic They’re truly detestable.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

When winter ended and the new semester began, new winds blew at the Academy.

The fourth-year graduation ceremony, and the first-year entrance ceremony.

The old students left and the new ones arrived.

【Academy Daily – 13/02】

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

— The sword prodigy, Timon Baertz.

【New Students Special – The standouts from the entrance exam.

— First in the Knight Department and monster slayer, Alcmion Altrierc.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

— The monster of the Marquess House Fakhar, Justa Fakhar.

— The dragon of Baron House Lavre, Jeff Lavre.】

— The genius who appeared like a comet, first in the Magic Department, Abel Kalens.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

“This year has quite a bit of talent too.”

Compared to that, this seemed inferior, but only because last year was exceptional. afford This year wasn’t lacking in promise either.

Last year saw the arrival of the saint from the Cult, the daughter of a new prince-elector, the heiress of Vienderk, and even a descendant of the former imperial family.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

Everyone thought he would be the top of the class, but surprisingly, an unknown took the position.

Jeff Lavre was a genius recognized since childhood and received full support from Schwaben.

The Baron House Lavre was a vassal of Schwaben.

“The surprising part is… I thought Jeff Lavre would be first in the Magic Department.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What do we know about him?”

“Then he should be better known?”

“He’s a commoner from Alprosen. echo Although a commoner, his father is a landowner with considerable resources. airport With that money, he hired private tutors and studied magic. attic His tutors praised him as a genius.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

But even so, Fernan and the Company were separate things.

“He is, but only within Alprosen. august He started gaining recognition about five years ago.”

At least until Fernan became head of the family.

The Golden Turtle Company had entered Alprosen before.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Understood.”

Also, five years ago, Fernan had been fully dedicated to creating the Golden Pillar.

“In any case, investigate further. arch If he’s a commoner, he surely has a sponsor.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

At last, his tumultuous second year had come to an end.

“So, this is the guy?”

With that, Fernan became a third-year student.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

“The sword prodigy, Timon Baertz.”

He wasn’t a commoner like Abel Kalens, nor someone unknown to Fernan.

Hyde extended a hand and pointed at a name in the paper.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

“So this is the corrupted? antique There were always rumors that the second son of Viscount Baertz’s house had great talent. timber I don’t know when he became one.”

On the contrary, he was someone Fernan knew better than anyone.

“Yes.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

Just before winter break ended, another wave of prophecy fell upon Fernan.

“We’ll have to find out now. aluminum But it’s strange. wizard If I recall correctly, he should be the first son, not the second…”

This time, there were three main visions.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

— And that research had long been sponsored by Fernan Pellenberg. arctic You think that’s a coincidence?

“So Fernan Pellenberg has a high probability of being corrupted?”

[- The demon summoned at the Continental Academic Conference was the result of Rosalia Vienderk’s research.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

“This is…”

Looking for those responsible for the conference disaster, Aint found a crucial clue.

— It’s Fernan, without a doubt.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

The first vision showed how, due to forged and manipulated evidence, Fernan would be accused of being corrupted.

[“We meet again, senior.”

It was a secret letter between Fernan and the corrupted.]

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s the expulsion decree. adopt Signed by the head of House Pellenberg himself.”

“What…? aspect Why would my father…?”

Aint dropped a document.]

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Slander? sphere With such clear evidence, what more can you say? beacon Don’t humiliate yourself any further.”

Fernan shouted.

“You’ve crossed the line! arch Becoming a dog of the demons and helping the corrupted!”

“That’s slander! autumn I never…!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

Gardner sneered coldly.

Aint’s brown eyes looked at him coldly, full of contempt.

Thus came Fernan’s downfall—the thing he feared most and worked so hard to prevent.

— A wretch who sold everything to the demons for money.
— The blood of the Pellenbergs deserves no consideration.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘I’m finally free! antenna I’ve passed beyond that fate!’

‘…….’

The first time he saw that vision, Fernan felt his heart collapse.
He nearly fainted from hyperventilation.

But after the shock and fear came euphoria.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

That feeling of relief and joy was stronger than anything he had ever experienced.

The book itself confirmed it—that would no longer happen.

It was the prophecy he most wanted to avoid, and since it had not come to pass, it was now a discarded future.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

***

[Fwoosh—

That night, Fernan slept soundly for the first time in a year.

With a sharp whistle, a sword flew through the air. palette The loser fell to his knees, and the victor remained standing.]

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

“No way…!”

The students were stunned to see the favorite, Alcmion Altrierc, lose.

“Who the hell is that monster…?”

“Altrierc lost…?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

The referee declared the victor.

Alcmion had trained under Royal Knight Katrina Altrierc; no one had expected his defeat.

“The winner! alien Timon Baertz!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You must defeat Aint Armian.”

The second vision revealed the rise of a new corrupted.

But Timon was already looking beyond that victory.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Aint’s fame grows too much with our defeats. avalanche We must stain it.”

“I know.”

A hooded man spoke.

If humanity managed to unite, Aint Armian would be the central axis.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

To weaken that unity and delay it, he had to be shaken.

They had only failed to kill him.

“We’ve failed several times, yes, but not in everything.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

They had managed to destroy Fernan and plant the seed of suspicion over Pellenberg.

Because of that, Vienderk carried a stain and was beginning to be isolated.

At the Conference, by summoning Seir, many leaders had died.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I know. sphere Don’t worry.”

Timon Baertz nodded calmly.

“Aint is the only one who slipped away. alien In everything else, we’ve succeeded.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

“But are you seriously saying we should assassinate Aint Armian?”

A patient plan—to wear him down little by little until finally cutting off his head.

It was their plan.

“With the power I have now, defeating Aint won’t be a problem.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

When Aint entered the Academy, he thought it was the perfect chance to crush him and elevate Schwaben’s name.

Ludger Schwaben’s eyes widened in shock.

If not for the demons’ appearance, he might have done it.

“Assassinate Aint? galaxy And now, at this moment?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

“And what about the demons? wizard If we don’t stop them, the continent will be destroyed! portal Does His Majesty want to be the last emperor of a ruined world?”

That was the third vision.

The plan seemed absurd to him.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

“We already have Armian’s secret sword in our hands.”

Said the assassin sent by the emperor, calmly.

“Armian’s power will be key against the demons, yes. apple But even without it, it doesn’t mean we can’t hunt demons.”

And above all…

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even so, he thought it would happen a little later because of the demons. arena Maybe they thought that if they didn’t act now, they’d never get the chance?

It wasn’t the prophecy Fernan expected at all.

Thinking about it, they had held back long enough, so it wasn’t particularly surprising. adapt It just felt like the inevitable had arrived.

“…So Schwaben has finally drawn their sword.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

He could more or less imagine how they had gotten it.

‘They say they’ve obtained Armian’s secret sword style.’

And Fernan, knowing how pointless that was, let out an ironic laugh.

That was also true. arena If more demons appeared, Aint would become irreplaceable.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

If Schwaben tried to kill Aint, Pellenberg would protect him.

“…Either way, I can’t let them do as they please.”

‘The real one is Gardner, after all.’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan decided to tackle the urgent matters step by step.

‘Though there’s nothing about Flauros. atlas Well, there was no guarantee it would happen this year either.’

Fortunately, the prophecy book also revealed the method Schwaben would use, so he had already begun preparing countermeasures.

Whenever it came, at least he had gained some time, and that wasn’t bad.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Why are you smiling, young master?”

As he thought about how to welcome him, Fernan smiled without realizing it.

He had to crush his intentions, track him, and capture the other corrupted still hiding in the Academy.

For now, it was about Timon Baertz.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Are you going to look for Timon Baertz?”

Fernan rose from his seat. portal Hyde followed immediately.

“Last year, reading this paper, I worried about Aint Armian. august This year, it’s a damn corrupted.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

In truth, there was no need for him to get too involved personally.

“Aint, Timon Baertz is suspected of being corrupted. aspect They say he’ll try to defeat you to slowly stain your reputation.”

“No, I’m going to see Aint.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

That was enough.

“We need information, so don’t kill him.”

“…Then, when the time comes, I’ll deal with him harshly.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 133 published by TrungTu Reads.

Timon Baertz, you’re dead.

‘More than anything, the current Aint is much stronger than in the prophecy.’

Aint wasn’t weak, nor lacking in fighting spirit.

“Bah, even if he’s corrupted, I can be that flexible.”
