A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

Despite the arrival of the foretold date, Frazia remained completely calm.

“Are you sure about what you saw?”

There was no sign of the corrupt, not even rumors of monsters.

“Are you implying that I was wrong?”

A few days passed, and Fernan had no choice but to admit it.

“If you went through these headaches, you’d never say such nonsense.”

“No, I’m just saying, what if you fell asleep while reading the book of prophecies?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Where was the mistake?”

That Aint exterminated the corrupt in Frazia was part of the original story, so that should be fine.

Fernan began reviewing everything from the most recent events.

Unlike before, when the future changed little by little, now one of the major lines of destiny had been completely twisted.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

Kimaris and the monster army that tried to destroy Bercheff—or rather, who sought to recover the stolen egg.

Then the next part.

“Was it because of Kimaris…?”

They weren’t supposed to descend south at that time.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

The book of prophecies didn’t even mention them yet.

“So, can I no longer trust the prophecy…?”

The fact that Fernan ended up with Decarabia’s egg was what twisted the future.

It hurt to accept it, but it was inevitable.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What’s this?”

“Here, Hyde.”

It made sense—if the future was changed again and again and yet everything happened the same, that would be what’s strange.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

Hyde, who understood who he had to deliver it to, asked again.

“Do I really have to go?”

“A notification that all the effort was in vain.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Don’t worry. accent It’s not as dangerous as when we fought demons, but at least I’ll cover your travel expenses to Fort Faios.”

“And my life doesn’t matter to you?”

“It’s someone to whom we must show at least that courtesy.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Understood. riddle But tell me, I’ve been wondering—what is that bird? portal It’s not what I think it is, right?”

It hurt to part with that sum, but losing the Mercenary King’s trust would hurt more. action Trust could also be bought with money.

“That’s why I’ll give him a bonus.”

“You think that’ll be enough for him, especially since he didn’t take any other requests during this time?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You even gave it a name?”

“His name is Silver.”

Hyde pointed to the Saintbird waddling around the office behind Wooden.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I wasn’t going to just call it ‘Saintbird.’ Besides, it looks like it’s going to bring me lots of silver coins, don’t you think?”

“I got it from Aint.”

“Really improvised… but is it really a Saintbird? accent Where did you get it?”

The legendary winged spirit had left Hyde speechless.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Aint Armian must’ve had quite a stomachache over that.”

“With everything I’ve already given him, I can well keep this.”

When he heard the full story, Hyde let out a disbelieving laugh.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“But if I go, what will you do without Wooden by your side as a guard?”

“Well, looked at that way, it makes sense.”

“Anyway, go already.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“If someone hears that, they’ll think I go looking for it myself.”

“Still, it leaves me uneasy—you attract too much trouble.”

“It doesn’t matter. shadow If I leave the academy, it’s different, but nothing serious should happen while I’m here.”

It was true. altitude The only reason Hyde didn’t insist more on being a permanent shadow was because Wooden was there. riddle Without him, Fernan was practically defenseless.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan snorted mockingly.

“It’s an order.”

“And the corrupt that were in the research building, what about that?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Alright. avalanche I’ll go and come back as quickly as possible.”

***

While life at the academy continued peacefully, two changes came to Fernan’s routine.

Hyde sighed in resignation and left.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

It seemed he couldn’t get over the fact that the Saintbird was in Fernan’s hands, even if only nominally, and he stopped by daily to see it.

“Senior.”

The first was that Aint Armian began visiting him every day.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘I hope it doesn’t change owners under the influence of the Armian bloodline.’

At least he was thankful that the little bird still looked at him as if he were its true father.

It was as if he was trying to imprint himself on it, but Fernan didn’t have any strong reason to refuse. legend He understood well—losing something like that would hurt.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I don’t know everything. aluminum I suppose what happened at Bercheff made those bastards hide for a while.”

“Or maybe it was because I and the others made too much noise in Frazia.”

“That’s possible too.”

“So even you can make mistakes, Senior.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

Either way, not everything was bad.

“I simply made the most realistic decision. legend In a world where demons already roam freely, between Armian and Schwaben, I chose the side that shines brighter. airport Nine out of ten would do the same.”

“I didn’t think I’d hear you say something like that.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You already knew?”

“You mean they might have the Armian secret swordsmanship?”

“I don’t think so. accent The Armians have nothing. voyage And besides, what if Schwaben…?”

Speaking with Aint daily allowed them to grow closer.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“And yet you still say the Armians are the real deal?”

“It was obvious. album They’re not stupid—they wouldn’t try to kill someone essential without having an ace up their sleeve.”

“Precisely because of that. riddle Thieves will never be able to truly master it.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

Valuable, meaningful time.

That allowed Fernan to strengthen ties with Aint, both as an ally against demons and in his role of support for House Armian.

“Senior.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

It wasn’t frequent, but every encounter was annoying.

The second change was also someone’s visit—but not as pleasant as Aint’s.

Every time Abel Kalens, the first-place student in the first-year Magic Department, ran into him, he would appear with a book in hand.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Nothing, we just ran into each other by chance. legend I came to say hello.”

And he still hadn’t received a full report on him from the Golden Pillar.

“What is it?”

Fernan liked being around the talented, but after Aaron’s betrayal, he was wary of those without solid backing.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

That was the problem—there were too many “coincidences” for his liking.

“Something strange?”

Until one day, Abel said something unexpected.

“Ah, Senior. alpha I discovered something strange.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“If you don’t want to, don’t.”

“Wait, I’ll say it.”

“I don’t know if I should say it…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes. advance The southern forest.”

What he said didn’t seem like much at first—one sleepless night, he took a walk through the city and saw the bookstore owner pushing a cart toward the forest.

“The forest?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What was he carrying?”

“Did you follow him?”

“It seemed strange, so yes. audit And I saw him dig a hole in a clearing and bury what he was carrying in the cart.”

“It looked like a box, but I’m not sure. silence His perception was stronger than I thought and he almost noticed me.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“And how did you get into the forest? arch Weren’t there guards?”

Abel explained that he fled immediately.

If he had confronted them, he wouldn’t have been able to enter. action And if not, the runes would have detected illegal entry and they’d have gone after him.

“I did run into a guard. apple But he looked me in the eyes, froze, and then walked away like nothing happened.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Just like that?”

“Where was this?”

Aint recalled when Aria and Verian fell under mental magic and the branches of the World Tree were corrupted.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

After a moment’s thought, Fernan brought Aint along.

“Let’s go.”

“If you want, I can guide you.”

“Wait. antique There’s someone else who should come.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s an honor to meet you, Senior Aint. auction I’m Abel Kalens.”

“What’s going on all of a sudden? admire And him?”

The three arrived at the southern forest. abstract Thanks to Fernan’s measures, no guards appeared.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s here.”

“Not yet…”

“Aint, feel anything?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

Lack of mana. ability It reminded him of Bercheff.

Fernan began to dig with magic. legend About ten meters underground, he noticed something odd.

“This is…”

That underground space where he found Decarabia’s egg. timber Much weaker, of course, but the sensation was the same.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Really?”

“Aint, the earth is contaminated.”

As Fernan said, the underground soil was blackened.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…What is this?”

A faint demonic energy emanated from the place. agent And in the center, a small box.

Click. audit They opened the box cautiously, and a sinister aura escaped. acid Inside, something black squirmed.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“An… eye?”

“A terrible miasma…”

It wasn’t a piece of flesh. arena It was a moving eyeball, and they could clearly feel its gaze.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Aint, destroy it. riddle Now.”

“Yes!”

The moment they made eye contact, Fernan felt his mind being invaded, and his mana stirred.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

The light sliced through the darkness.

───!

The eye resisted, but couldn’t withstand the punishment.

Aint unsheathed his sword. arena The holy light drove out the corruption and asserted its power.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan knew that only demons left behind nothing—not even a corpse.

Shattered fragments thrashed like screams, until they turned to dust.

…Dust?

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

The question was how a mere bookseller had it—and for what purpose he buried it here.

If so, it explained how even a simple eye could emit such corruption.

A demon’s eye?

‘Then was it…?’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Aint, what do you think that was?”

The answer was simple: because he was corrupt.

“Another bookstore. academy First last time, and now again. afford Is there a demon out there who just loves books?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I think so too. adjust I’ve fought plenty of monsters, and only demons leave no remains.”

“…Well, it looked like flesh, but if a single piece carried that much corruption, I’d say it was part of a demon.”

“So that was a piece of a demon? adjust Heavens…!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“No, I just did what I had to. harbor Though I never imagined it was a demon.”

“By the way, I want to examine your interior.”

“That’s right. adopt If not for this, the academy would have suffered another catastrophe. arcade I thank you—it was thanks to you.”

Abel’s brief cry made Fernan pause the conversation.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Isn’t it strange?”

The comment caught Abel off guard.

“…What?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“That may be.”

“That’s because my family isn’t wealthy, and I wanted to get close to you…”

Rumble. arch The ground rose, and stone walls blocked any possible escape for Abel Kalens.

“Since you arrived, you’ve been hanging around me, and you’re the one bringing news about corruption and demons.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Let Aint examine your interior. zenith If it’s proven you’re not corrupt, I’ll offer a formal apology.”

Fernan didn’t rule that out.

Which made the solution simple.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Then answer this.”

A Pellenberg apology was never just words—it always included monetary compensation.

Fernan curled his lip.

“…But to examine someone else’s mana? adjust Even if it’s you, that crosses a line!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“If there are problems, you go to administration or a professor. arctic But you came to me.”

“I…”

“Why did you come to me?”

“Because you’ve achieved great merit against the corrupt, and…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

Although Fernan had been behind most of the incidents, he rarely showed himself publicly.

A regular student shouldn’t have known he was the true core.

Usually it was Aint or the Royal Knights who appeared.

“If that were true, you should have gone to Aint, not me.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

That Timon Baertz, who should’ve been corrupt, wasn’t; and that Abel Kalens, who shouldn’t be first in his class, was. airport All of it made him suspicious.

Fernan went silent. shadow There was no need to say it.

“And above all…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You’re right.”

At that moment—

“…I helped uncover a demon piece, and you still think I’m corrupt?”

“I hope you’re not. autumn But that’s why I want to confirm it. orbit And you should know: the longer the excuse, the more suspicious it sounds.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

Prfhfh. crystal Abel let out a laugh. matrix It was far from joyful—it was pure madness.

“And yet I can’t accept it. abandon If that damned energy enters me, my insides will be destroyed.”

The air around him changed.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 141 published by TrungTu Reads.

A burning heat exploded.

“I already sacrificed a piece of demon. august Then you should believe me! orbit Why do you still doubt me so much?”

The rage.
