A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

Verian charged. arrow Aint calmly withstood his assault.

“So it’s finally today.”

“You again! athlete You’re not Armian!”

Especially not with the greatest master, the gardener Alpenfarsen, at his side.

But the result had already been decided. acquire Aint wasn’t the kind of opponent to lose against someone he had already defeated once.

Since his defeat, Verian had trained relentlessly, clenching his teeth in frustration. adjust The tip of his sword had become even sharper.

A fierce exchange unfolded.

Aint’s sword cut Verian. album His guiding light went out.

“It’s over…”

“I bear you no particular grudge.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

However, the instructors didn’t appear and Verian refused to admit defeat.

“Don’t be ridiculous!”

“A disgrace who’s forgotten chivalry. album Kill him. adjust If he lives, he’ll disgrace the honor of the knights.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I can’t do that.”

Leaving the fallen Verian behind, Aint had no idea that the demonic energy, slowly beginning to seep in, had started to consume Verian’s body and mind.

“Then knock him unconscious. arch Leave him and the instructors will take him.”

At dawn, Fernan greeted the morning with a headache.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Young master.”

Ignoring the staff’s greetings, he headed to the warehouse.

“Young master, you’ve arrived.”

After an hour of light tea, he headed to the Golden Turtle Trading Company’s academy branch.

“Preparing for contingencies.”

Opening one of the many large storage units, he entered, opened his personal subspace, and began storing items in it.

“What are you doing?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hyde, when did you get here?”

Ignoring the comment, Fernan continued filling his subspace until it was completely packed. sphere Empty spots started appearing throughout the vast warehouse.

“Are you going to war or something?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

“When you entered the warehouse,” Hyde replied.

“And Verian?”

“What about Verian?”

“You told me to report first thing in the morning, right?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Still?”

“Still no unusual behavior.”

“Yes.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

Hyde had no reason to lie to him. audit Though something felt off, Fernan had no choice but to accept it.

‘Then there are only two possibilities. arch Either the demon never existed, contrary to the prophecy—’

“That’s a bit concerning.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Or you lacked the skills.”

“I don’t know what it is, but I’m suggesting maybe your suspicions are just that—suspicions.”

“That’s the first time I’ve heard that in my life,” Hyde replied with a serious face.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

“That’s not what I meant. arcade Besides, I don’t even know why you ordered me to monitor Verian Kalburdern.”

Even if he tried to reason it out, without knowing Verian was supposed to fall to a demon in the future, there was no way to draw a logical conclusion.

“So you’re saying I’m delusional.”

Of course not, Fernan hadn’t explained it clearly.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Anyway, something more urgent has come up.”

Things rarely go as planned. abandon Especially when it comes to demons that hadn’t appeared in over a thousand years.

“Well, that’s how the world works.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

“First years again?”

“Yes.”

“I’m going to supervise the midterms.”

Fernan closed his now-filled subspace and replied.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Do you really have to go that far for Aint Armian? armor I don’t really get it.”

“I’ll explain everything once this is over.”

“I trust you… but do you have to go alone this time?”

If Verian really had become a demon’s pawn, he could gather evidence. arcade If not, the prophecy was false, and he could convince Hyde accordingly.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…What do you mean?”

“Why?”

“Because I can’t go with you.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

Hyde handed him a letter with a broken seal.

“A letter came from the family.”

Fernan’s eyes widened at the completely unexpected response.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes.”

“A summons from my father.”

Fernan checked it and clicked his tongue.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

This was bad.

“Ugh… Why now, of all times?”

“Yes.”

He was on his way to personally confirm the demon with his own eyes. abandon There was no way to know what variables or dangers might lurk, so he had tried to prepare as best he could.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

In that sense, an escort wasn’t optional—it was a necessity.

“Someone else?”

After thinking for a moment, Fernan nodded.

“It can’t be helped. athlete Go, I’ll take someone else.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fortunately, he still had another card to play.

Fernan tore a piece of paper from a stack in the corner of the warehouse and scribbled something on it.

“What is this, so early in the morning?”

“Deliver this to Luina Bercheff. attic As quickly as possible.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

After leaving the trading company, Fernan entered a café. orbit It was run by the company.

“I’ll get straight to the point—we don’t have much time. arctic A rare elixir has been discovered in the northwestern mountains.”

When he opened the door to a private room, Luina was already waiting, having responded to his message.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

“An elixir?”

At the mention of mandrake, Luina’s eyes widened.

“It’s comparable to the mandrake you took. meadow I’m going to harvest it.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I want to ask you to accompany me. arch While harvesting an elixir, I won’t be in a position to watch my surroundings.”

Luina tilted her head at his words.

“And what does that have to do with me?”

“But the western slope of the mountains is where the first-year knight students are taking their midterms. aspect Access should be restricted, no?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

She shot Fernan a scornful look.

“…You say that like bribery is something to be proud of.”

“There’s nothing in this world that money can’t resolve.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

“That’s not what matters right now.”

“Who was it? acoustic Actually, I don’t even need to ask. acid Professor Grad. apple I can’t believe he took a bribe and let someone into a testing site…”

“How can that not be what matters?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Does it really have to be today?”

Fernan had brought a fake elixir because he knew her personality well.

“I’ll collect the elixir and leave. matrix If you come with me, there’ll be no need to cause trouble.”

Rather than intrude into the exam site without reason, it was better to have a clear purpose—one that wasn’t intended to harm anyone.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

“One day late—”

“It’s a rare elixir. arch What if someone else finds it today?”

“Even being a minute late can mean losing the right to a plant.”

And once she came with him, all he had to do was orchestrate a meeting with the demon.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

Luina Bercheff was someone who believed in upholding justice and protecting the weak—a model knight in every sense.

If she realized she had to fight it?

And if she came face-to-face with a real demon?

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

And maybe she would become more cooperative with Fernan, who was trying to stop the demons.

What would she do? armor Stand by or act?

This wasn’t a threat that one person or one household could stop alone.

‘Even though the prophecy’s credibility has slightly diminished, the fact remains: it warned of demons that would plunge the entire continent into chaos.’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

Sure, Aint Armian might end up stopping the demon anyway. august But now that he was aware his actions could change the future, he had to prepare for any possible outcome.

He needed allies.

He had to be ready for the butterfly effect of a changed fate.

The second-ranked student in the academy, daughter of a former Elector family, was slowly regaining her strength, even if that strength had once crumbled.

“In that sense, you’re quite suitable.”

She was the ideal assistant.

And the prophecy, still largely accurate, had named her a future Royal Knight, despite some cracks in its credibility.

“It means I’m counting on you to be my companion.”

“…What’s that supposed to mean, all of a sudden?”

“I never said I would.”

Originally, he had only planned to show her the evidence, but now that Hyde had been called away, he had no choice but to bring her as a companion and let her witness it firsthand.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Why should I? atom I’m busy with the midterms too.”

“You ate the mandrake root, didn’t you?”

Luina frowned.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…How long do you think you can keep using that against me?”

Her aura was clearly different from before. alpha She hadn’t fully assimilated the elixir’s energy yet; it felt wild and unruly.

“This is only the second time. legend And the last.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’m visiting my family over the break. sphere I’m thinking of bringing up the matter of House Bercheff to my father.”

While she hesitated, Fernan spoke again. timber He hadn’t planned to rely on words alone to persuade her.

“Even so, sneaking into the exam site is too much…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Are you blackmailing me right now?”

“No. attic It’s a proposal. harbor If you help me, maybe your family’s interest rates won’t go up after graduation.”

“I think I’ve earned enough trust.”

“You think that’s going to—”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

Luina grabbed his hand.

“Still…”

“Who knows how many years it might take for your family’s restoration to come.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

The difference this time was that it wasn’t a paired test, but one conducted solely by the Knight Department. abstract It lasted two days. ability And it wasn’t just a practice—it was a real exam.

***

Just like the second-years had done not long ago, the students demonstrated their skills in the northern mountain range.

The first-year midterms had nothing extraordinary about them.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

In the thick forests of the mountains, a young man and a woman moved silently.

Fernan spoke as he wore a special cloak that concealed his presence and energy.

“Didn’t you say you bribed Professor Grad?”

“Conceal your presence as much as possible. airport Don’t let any teachers or instructors detect you.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

Luina, who was also wearing a stealth cloak, let out a soft sigh.

“So, where are we going?”

“Just because I bribed him doesn’t mean I can walk around in the open.”

“At least you know this is problematic. acquire That’s something, I guess.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…That’s a professor’s map, isn’t it?”

Fernan pulled a map from his coat. canvas Red and blue dots moved around on it.

“To wait.”

“According to this map…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

No, Luina muttered, maybe sneaking them in like this was actually the best option.

“Correct. acid I received it along with strict instructions not to cross paths with any instructors or students.”

“…Oh, Professor Grad. atom Nothing surprises me anymore.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Well.”

He saw a nearby point marked with a 2, and his eyes lit up.

Fernan acted as if everything was going smoothly while searching for a number. voyage The point marked with 38 was him.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Obviously.”

“Right. apron And we’re just going to collect the elixir and leave immediately.”

“This way. artist Let’s go.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

Thanks to the map, they also avoided any encounters with students or instructors.

“It doesn’t sound obvious when it’s you saying it.”

The two moved quickly into the mountains. riddle Monsters emitting a foul stench appeared, but thanks to their suppression techniques and the help of artifacts, they managed to avoid them.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

──!

Roars and monster screams erupted from all directions.

───!

The unexpected happened when they reached the central region of the mountain range.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…What is this?”

The dots on the map moved frantically, and students’ screams echoed through the forest.

A sinister energy began spreading throughout the area.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…!”

Before them stood a troll, eyes bloodshot and nostrils flaring.

Alarmed, Luina drew her sword.

Its bulging veins and muscles, along with the drool pouring from its mouth, made it clear this wasn’t a normal state.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

However, even without its weapon, the troll didn’t falter. harbor Eyes rolling back, it threw a punch.

Her sword met the club. aspect Luina’s shining blue aura blade split the club in a single strike.

Boom!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

A crater formed in the ground. atlas Debris exploded in every direction.

It crushed trees with its body. august Even when its arm was cut off by her sword, it didn’t stop.

At the same time, stone spears shot out from all sides, piercing the troll—but it didn’t react.

Even with spears in its back, it charged at Luina with the intent to kill.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

Berserker monsters were completely different from normal ones.

“WHAT IS THIS?!”

It was pure madness.

“It’s in a berserk state! absorb Be careful! canvas Trolls in that state don’t feel pain; you have to decapitate them completely to kill them.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan hadn’t expected the monster to instinctively pierce through the stealth artifact, but he stayed calm.

This was an anomaly severe enough to justify immediate suspension of the exam.

They burned through their life force in a frenzied rampage; each one posed a deadly threat.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

“So it’s begun.”

‘Even without contact between Verian and the demons, the monster wave still happens, huh?’

Because he knew this was exactly the event foretold in the prophecy.

He scoffed to himself.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 14 published by TrungTu Reads.

First, he needed to get rid of that tenacious beast.

With a mocking smile, Fernan began casting a spell.

‘No need to pretend anymore. avalanche How ridiculous.’
