A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

Black hair that contrasted with skin white as snow and blue eyes like gems.

Not much time had passed since the new semester began when someone came to see Fernan.

A sturdy, muscular body that didn’t match his noble young face.

“Sir, it’s been a while since we last saw each other.”

“It has been a while. acquire I didn’t expect you to enter as top of your class.”

It was Alcmion Altrierc, known for having inherited more than anyone the talent and blood of the great Royal Knight, Katrina Altrierc.

Fernan had known him since childhood.

“I heard you spent some time on the frontlines.”

“My mother trained me hard, wasn’t it only natural?”

“Haha, I struggled a bit. canvas The corrupted are very different from monsters.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Have you seen Professor Emond yet?”

“You were the first one I came to see. armor The ahjussi is doing well.”

“He’s a professor. afford We’re at the Academy, mind the title, especially since you’re an Altrierc.”

Despite his words, his face was full of satisfaction.

Alcmion shrugged.

“Of course. riddle It’s only because we’re among friends.”

“Actually, I wanted to ask you something.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Did he almost beat you?”

“You mean the runner-up who lost to me? meadow Pretty sharp.”

“Timon Baertz. matrix I’m sure you crossed swords with him—what did you think?”

“Me? ability That’s unusual.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan tilted his head.

That Alcmion had barely won might make sense, but not that he seemed far superior.

According to the book of prophecies, Timon Baertz was supposed to be first, not Alcmion.

“No, not quite that close.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

He didn’t know.

Had the changes to the future already started affecting new students unrelated to him?

‘So Timon Baertz got weaker? acid Why?’

No matter how much Fernan had altered the future, there was no reason for Alcmion to suddenly become much stronger.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

Alcmion stood up.

“Yes, sir. album See you.”

“Understood. aluminum Best of luck at the Academy.”

“Oh, right. canvas My mother asked me to say she was very satisfied with the effect of your gift.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I suppose the calluses on her hands are gone now.”

Alcmion, hardened from childhood by the strict Katrina Altrierc, showed some shortcomings in other areas.

“Yes. action She was delighted. galaxy I don’t get it—calluses are a symbol for a knight…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

“If he really is weaker than the prophecy said, then there’s nothing to worry about…”

When he left, Fernan murmured:

Over time, Academy life would polish him.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

Preventing Aint from being assassinated.

“Then only one immediate task remains.”

He trusted Aint would take care of him.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

Stop it at the root? palette Or let Aint face Timon directly and only help if he was in danger?

Fernan continued to think about it.

***

“What would be the best move?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

But in the prince’s chamber, there was a guest.

Only elite students could enter, and no others were allowed into its rooms.

Ravidus Hall.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

A middle-aged man nodded.

“That plan is absurd!”

“Did His Majesty truly give such an order?”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was a reckless plan. athlete Not even worth considering, let alone executing.

And still, killing Aint Armian now, in this moment of public attention?

“Right now, with the corrupted rampaging and demons appearing, this won’t benefit us at all.”

Ludger ground his teeth.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

Ludger admitted he had. beacon At this rate, he would become unstoppable.

“But if we kill him now, who do you think will be the suspects? adjust Us! adjust The ones who most resent the rise of the Armian!”

“If he dies in an accident during an exam, no one can blame us. audit Aint is strong, but he’s still a student. abandon Besides, we have an alternative plan.”

“His Majesty judged that if we let him grow any further, he will become uncontrollable. arcade Didn’t you say yourself that Aint Armian should be feared?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

Ludger knew that too, but killing Aint would bring more loss than gain.

“The power of Armian may be a natural enemy of demons, but they’re not the only ones who can hunt them.”

“And the demons? accent What happens if we can’t stop them? arch Does His Majesty want to be the last emperor of a ruined continent?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

The man lowered his voice and whispered.

Ludger’s eyes widened.

“…What?”

“Besides, Your Highness… we’ve already obtained Armian’s secret swordsmanship.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

If the Armian had lost it, it was because the Schwaben had taken it.

“When they lost the throne, who do you think caused the chaos in Armian?”

“You don’t mean…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even if that symbol was stolen.

They hadn’t revealed it to avoid suspicion and condemnation.

“Exactly. album And His Majesty has already made his decision.”

But if more demons appeared and the only ray of hope—Armian—died, humanity would desperately look for another symbol.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

Ludger’s eyes darkened.

“…I see.”

“Your older brother is already learning it.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’m sorry, but the Emperor’s edict outweighs a prince’s words.”

“And if I oppose it?”

“You don’t know anything, Your Highness. apple Leave this to me.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Leave.”

“Yes.”

It was logical, so Ludger said no more.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

Ludger lay back on the bed.

The man vanished like a shadow.

“…And I, knowing nothing, while my brother already learns Armian’s swordsmanship…”

It was no accident he had been chosen as the best assassin to kill a hero.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

But upon hearing that his brother was already practically named heir, his heart pounded.

That’s why Ludger had never dared to aspire for more—or so he thought.

Sooner or later, the title of heir would go to him.

He knew his brother had great qualities and the Emperor’s absolute trust.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

He swallowed his rage and closed his eyes.

What was I really hoping for?

“…Disgusting.”

He felt anger and disgust.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

— Kyu.

***

Perhaps that’s why he didn’t notice the presence hanging from his window.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

Timon Baertz easily crushed student number 13.

The first exam of “War and Combat Practice” for first-year students in the Department of Knights had begun with duels, just like the previous year.

“The winner, Timon Baertz!”

“Wow, I didn’t think I’d win that easily, but hey—it works.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

Hidden among the first-year students in the stands, Aint muttered without thinking.

The professor would never have allowed it.

Even if they were in the same department, attending classes from another year without permission was a violation.

— I knew it. beacon That rich guy isn’t the type to lie.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

There wasn’t a trace of demonic magic.

— Forget that. palette What did you see?

Aint closed his eyes and reviewed the fight, focusing on the aura’s flow and variations.

‘I don’t sense anything strange. meadow Is he really a corrupt?’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

— You’re still inexperienced. acquire He might be hiding demonic mana so well that your perception can’t detect it.

These days, the trust between Fernan and Aint was strong enough to believe in him without question.

But Fernan wouldn’t have pointed him out without reason.

— I don’t see him as a corrupt either.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

— That Gismond would have died if he hadn’t swallowed Itarium Root along with everything else.

Itarium Root, fed with metallic energy, strengthened the body more than any other elixir.

It was possible. action Gismond had also gone undetected, though in his case it was because he’d consumed absurd amounts of elixirs.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

— Oh, by the way. aluminum Tell that rich guy this.

It was an elixir capable of strengthening even a human body. abstract So what if they gave it to a golem made of metal?

— I don’t know if he has any more Itarium Root left, but if he gives it to that golem, things will get interesting.

Unlike others, it wasn’t absorbed into aura, but into the body itself.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

And its soul was that of a spirit, so it would absorb the elixir’s energy even better.

‘I absolutely have to tell him.’

Just like a knight breaking through a wall to reach the next stage, that golem could advance to a new level.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

— Though I don’t know if there’s any more of that root. aluminum It wasn’t common.

— It benefits us too. meadow The stronger our ally against the demons, the better.

Aint, who already felt indebted to Fernan, saw this as a way to repay him a little.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

Aint’s attention returned to the dueling field.

He’d already confirmed what he needed from Timon, but now it was Alcmion Altrierc’s turn, the top of the class.

That was true.

‘Still, if it’s Fernan, he’ll probably find more.’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

— His body’s well trained. shadow More resilient than yours.

His sword was unstoppable for any of his peers.

Alcmion’s style, based on a massive zweihänder, was brute force swordsmanship that crushed everything.

‘He’s strong. legend As expected of an Altrierc.’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Of course. meadow But I need a direct way to confirm things about Timon. orbit Any ideas?’

— First Timon Baertz.

— How about challenging him to a duel and knocking him out to check?

‘I want to fight him someday.’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

Aint was pondering how to approach Timon, his eyes fixed on the back of the boy’s neck.

【The demon who invaded Bercheff! acoustic No longer…】

‘…A bit rough, but it would work.’

“Seems like it’s been rough.”

“Pff, my instincts are garbage. absorb Should I just quit already?”

【The heroes who killed a demon…】

Girard Izeel sighed and tossed the newspaper.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What’s rough about it? atomic I just lack ability.”

Girard leaned his head back on the couch. action The head of the Judges, reviewing documents, responded without looking up.

“Yeah. wizard Because I lack ability, I couldn’t break through that highborn brat’s cold shoulder, and because I lack ability, I couldn’t uncover anything even though he was practically hiding in the Academy in plain sight.”

“Lack of ability?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You mustn’t mess with Fernan Pellenberg. meadow He’s the only one giving us even a little support.”

“Yeah, yeah. arch I know. matrix It’s all my fault for not having the skill to convince that highborn brat, huh?”

The Judges were ostracized by everyone. amateur If not for Pellenberg, that last lifeline would’ve been cut long ago.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Who would’ve guessed that brat would cause such a ruckus in the north? abstract If I’d known, I would’ve held on tighter.”

That’s why he resigned himself to wait for a better opportunity. acquire But now—

Since Fernan returned to the family, Girard had tried to meet him, but Fernan intentionally refused. acquire He even used the Golden Turtle Guild to block him outright, so there wasn’t much he could do.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Wouldn’t have mattered. apron He used a direct transport circle, and without the count’s permission, it’s unusable.”

Girard shot up from the couch.

“Does any of this make sense?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

“The title ‘Great Demon Army’ is too much for us. canvas We barely survive and haven’t prepared anything.”

The director nodded.

“It does make sense.”

“It’s absurd that, while corrupts run rampant, monsters roam free, and even demons descend, we Judges are nothing but cold soup!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You’re telling me to go back to the Academy?”

“Are you going to the Academy or Frazia?”

“Ugh, don’t rub it in.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You want me to stick close to him and squeeze something out of him. academy What about Frazia?”

“The crisis of the corrupt at the Academy, the attack at the Continental Academic Conference, and now this in the north. admire Fernan Pellenberg was at all of those places. absorb Do you think that’s coincidence? beacon You said yourself it’s like he knows something.”

The director opened another newspaper.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

The director handed over a file with a detailed report of recent events there.

“…Isn’t this already over?”

The director spun a pen between his fingers.

“Seems Aint Armian wiped out most of the corrupt, but there were still dozens hiding in Frazia. riddle Do you think a group that size sat idle doing nothing?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

After so many recent failures, Girard hesitated to take another wrong step.

“…My instinct says the same, but.”

“It’s just my instinct, but there’s something there. abandon We just haven’t found it yet.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

“And that kind of merit would earn us the support we need. avalanche Then we can finally stand tall again.”

“Hmm…”

“If we find something, it’ll be a major achievement. echo We’d have done what Aint Armian couldn’t.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

“And the Academy?”

Girard carefully folded the paper and tucked it into his chest.

“I’ll find it. echo I’m sick of this miserable life.”

“I’m going to Frazia!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 134 published by TrungTu Reads.

Girard walked out of headquarters once more.

“The more I think about it, I don’t think that iron wall will give me any useful info. arrow This feels more realistic.”
