A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

Abel Kalens’ face turned red, unable to contain his fury.

“I offered the demon’s flesh! armor You should believe me! apple Where have you ever seen a corrupt sacrificing a demon’s flesh?”

“He’s standing right in front of me.”

“Should I care?”

“Do you know how much mental preparation it took to bury that there?”

With no intention of hiding anymore, a wave of demonic energy began to leak out.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

“According to the plan, the Academy was supposed to be reduced to rubble. harbor The continental academic conference was to be destroyed, isolating Vienderk, and the northern legions were supposed to grow even stronger.”

Abel growled in a low voice.

“Of course, you should! absorb Fernan Pellenberg, you have no idea how many plans were ruined because of you.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes, too good for a mere human. timber Do you know how shocked I was? wizard You, who were supposed to fail and drag Pellenberg into ruin, are now standing beside Aint as his ally!”

“Thanks for the compliment. alpha Sounds like I’ve done a good job.”

That way, the continent would fall into chaos. absorb In the meantime, the corrupt would rule, and demons would be summoned one after another, turning the world into a new hell.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

That alone made any chance of becoming enemies with Aint practically zero.

So that was it. portal The cursed plans of the corrupt had tormented him for so long that just thinking about them made his teeth grind. voyage But it didn’t matter anymore. aluminum The future had changed for the better, and now he could see with his own eyes how the corrupt were crumbling.

Fernan gave a twisted smile.

Most importantly, Abel had confessed in front of Aint that it was all the work of the corrupt.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

Surprisingly, Abel nodded without hesitation.

“My mistake. arch I admit it. voyage I was so focused on watching Aint Armian that when you suddenly appeared, I panicked.”

“For that, your plan was far too sloppy.”

“So I infiltrated to observe you…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Surprise! afford This was all part of my plan.”

Suddenly, the anger vanished from his face as if it had been fake. august Abel doubled over with laughter, clutching his stomach.

That’s why the plan had been so poorly executed.

“No, not really.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

“For that, what you offered was too much. silence Don’t pretend it didn’t hurt to lose it.”

“Yes. adopt The plan. admire I convinced myself that you were the one to watch, not Aint. armor That’s enough.”

The eye had been a costly sacrifice, but in exchange, he had confirmed what he needed.

“Your plan?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

With a face twisted like a demon’s, Abel raised a book in one hand and a staff in the other. riddle Blades of wind shot toward Fernan, but a solid wall intercepted them.

He should’ve suspected Fernan much earlier. palette Fernan had faced the corrupt alongside Aint several times. athlete Pretending not to have noticed was absurd.

“And you think I’ll tell you? antenna Besides, of course it hurts, damn it! aluminum I offered something like that and you still don’t trust me, you damned skeptic!”

“What’s your real goal?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

Clang, clang, clang!

The wind couldn’t get past Aint’s sword.

“The damned ones are you, disgusting corrupt who sold out humanity.”

“Damn Armian blood!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

Aint stepped forward in a single motion, and his sword was already aimed at Abel’s chest.

Crash!

The staff intercepted the thrust, and a shield surrounded Abel.

“Urgh!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

But it shattered easily. advance The staff flew out of his hand, and Aint’s sword nearly pierced through him. shadow Abel barely managed to turn and take the blow in the shoulder instead of the heart.

“Argh…! matrix Damn Armian power!”

Abel screamed and staggered back.

He gripped the blade with both hands. action Sparks and smoke erupted from the clash between holy light and demonic energy. anxiety It lasted only a moment—but the winner was Aint.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Shut up! anchor What worth is a shiny piece of metal?”

“That’s the power of money, you stupid corrupt.”

“This is cheating! adapt How can you grow so fast?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Shut up!”

“It’s everything.”

A demonic wave exploded, trying to engulf Fernan, but Aint blocked it all firmly. auction Abel cast again. avalanche This time, the storm was fiercer, sharpened by mixed demonic energy.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

Aint charged head-on into the hurricane. meadow A spark of light expanded and devoured the darkness.

“Of course.”

“Can you win?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

Boom!

“With that, everyone in the Academy will have heard. apple The director’s going to be furious.”

The explosion shook the world like an earthquake. altitude Fernan raised stone walls to shield himself from the shockwave.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

Because he was a corrupt. harbor That’s why Jeff Lavre, who should’ve been first, ended up second.

“Khuhuhuh…”

The light faded. attic In the end, Abel stood with a sword through his heart.

‘This is far beyond the level of a first-year.’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

His eyes were bloodshot, his veins grotesquely bulging. sphere He was either laughing or crying—impossible to tell.

“In this state, I can’t beat Armian…”

“That your dying message?”

Cough! alpha He spat black blood.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Just in case—want to say who’s behind you?”

Fernan stopped Aint before he could deliver the final blow.

“Wait, Aint.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

He laughed at himself, then suddenly went still.

“If we’d taken things slower, it would’ve worked. silence What a shame. action A real shame.”

“I see.”

“When you guess, it’s as good as confirmed.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

He locked eyes with Fernan.

“Even so…”

“What I said is true. album Everything went according to plan. legend I may be impatient, but I’m not useless. audit Just wait for what’s coming, Fernan Pellenberg.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

With those words, Abel’s body exploded.

But something didn’t add up.

The explosion of a corrupt was already a familiar sight. adjust Aint and Fernan were prepared—they took no damage.

***

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…A demon?”

According to Fernan, the only ones who left no remains were demons.

Even when they exploded, there were always remains. apple This time, nothing—only dust.

“…There’s no body.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

— Was there a demon like that? adapt Even I haven’t seen them all. wizard The war was fought across the whole continent, and I didn’t face only the 72.

“That seems like the most logical explanation.”

“True. anxiety Then maybe a special kind of corrupt, with so much demonic energy that it’s almost at a demon’s level.”

“If it were a demon, it wouldn’t be this weak.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was probably true that he had achieved his goal—confirming something about Fernan.

“And those last words? arrow What did he mean?”

“Not worth worrying about.”

In the end, they could only let it go.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It was a threat. silence It means that now, not just you, but I’m also being watched. altitude That we won’t be able to move as freely.”

In other words, be careful walking at night. orbit It was a trick to sow fear—but Fernan wasn’t someone who could be intimidated.

“Isn’t it strange to boast that he succeeded in his plan?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Let’s go back. autumn I’m sure the entire Academy is awake by now.”

“They want me to back off. avalanche Not happening.”

Losing money was the only thing he feared. riddle And now he had another reason to oppose them—they despised money as if it were just shiny metal.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s all recorded by the artifact. sphere There won’t be any problem.”

The place had been reduced to ruins by the battle.

“When did you activate it?”

“Ah, and what do we do about this?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

“From the start.”

“Let’s go before the people arrive.”

It had become a habit since he learned the corrupt had once manipulated a similar device to have him excommunicated—always recording everything suspicious from the start.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yeah.”

“This matter will be buried.”

That night, both vanished into the shadows.

***

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

Not once, but twice. attic And it happened after the rector himself had ordered a thorough investigation—yet another incident with a corrupt in the Academy.

The rector poured milk into his tea.

“No need to explain why.”

Even if that corrupt was just a first-year, it didn’t erase the Academy’s incompetence.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

“For that, I need the recording you made.”

“I understand.”

From the rector’s perspective, and for the Academy’s reputation, the right thing was to keep this incident quiet.

“I already gave it to you.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

The rector stirred his tea with the spoon, blending the milk.

“I don’t trust merchants. wizard They’re generous benefactors to the Academy, yes—but whenever they see an opportunity, they try to profit.”

“What you gave me—is it genuine?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

“And can you assure me there are no additional copies?”

Fernan didn’t avoid the rector’s sharp gaze.

“Yes.”

“If I say yes, will you believe me?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

“No, I’ll confiscate it by force.”

The promise had been to keep the summoning of Andromalius secret.

But Fernan broke it at the Academic Congress, revealing it to Duke Vienderk and the Pope of the Dragon God Cult.

“Then no. alpha I don’t want to make an enemy of an Archmage over something this small. legend Consider it my compensation for failing to keep the last promise.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Very well, so be it.”

Fortunately, the rector understood and let it go, though an invisible debt remained.

Fernan took the opportunity to repay it.

There had been no other choice at the time, but he had done so without the rector’s consent.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I should be the one thanking you. crystal Thanks to you, we extinguished the spark before it burned the entire mountain. armor If you want something in return, I’m willing to hear it.”

“Thank you.”

The rector accepted.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

The rector smiled warmly. airport A kind smile for humans—but to demons and corrupts, it held no kindness at all.

“Just erase this as if my mistake never happened—that’s enough. atom Rather, what do you plan to do now?”

“What else could I do, knowing there are still corrupts in the Academy?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Did the conversation go well?”

Fernan finished the meeting with the rector and got into the carriage.

***

“Yes, I handled it perfectly.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

“The rector will handle it.”

“And Abel—what will happen to him?”

“If it were me, I’d go straight to Abel’s family and shut them up. acid I’d show them the recording of their son as a corrupt.”

Fernan already had a good idea of what would happen.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

A shipwreck during a storm would be most convenient.

Abel would be expelled immediately, and during the return trip, he’d die in an “unfortunate accident.”

“I’d tell them—if you don’t want this made public, do as I say.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

“The parents will comply, of course.”

The ship would be lost, but it was a small price to protect the Academy’s and the Royal Knights’ reputation.

“I said it as a threat, but in reality, it’s the best outcome for both sides. matrix If it’s discovered that Abel was a corrupt, their house would be destroyed.”

After a demon appeared in Bercheff, the alert against corrupts was at its highest.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan shook his head.

“That’ll be the rector’s job. acoustic Not my concern.”

Rumors were already circulating that a purge of corrupts had begun in several kingdoms.

“The problem would be if the parents were corrupt too…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Understood.”

“To Ravidus Hall.”

The carriage departed.

“Right. anchor Then where are we headed?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘And Silver—I have to figure out how to deal with him. anchor What a pain. wizard Again.’

‘The corrupt have started to focus on me. canvas I need to be extremely cautious.’

Fernan, leaning against the window, got lost in thought.

Moving around without Wooden in these circumstances was a huge risk.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

[— Andromalius, and now Seir. alpha The demon invasion advances quickly.
Preparations are necessary.

The pages of the prophecy unfolded before him.

The headache was familiar by now. meadow Fernan closed his eyes.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

This time, the prophecy didn’t announce an imminent crisis or a corrupt’s appearance.

— But right now it seems impossible. athlete Against other rivals, maybe. riddle But against Luina Bercheff, nine out of ten times you’ll lose.]

— This time, no matter the cost, we must win the jousting tournament and obtain the reward the Founding Emperor left behind.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

[— It’s time to search for what the Founding Emperor left behind.

“What is it?”

It was Gardner who felt the urgency—due to the advancing demon invasion, Aint needed to grow stronger faster.

But wishing wasn’t enough—he needed a catalyst.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Swordsmanship? antenna Aren’t I already learning it?”

— What I know, what you’re learning, even the secret art passed down in Armian—it’s all incomplete.

— The true swordsmanship.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What?”

So, Aint headed to the sea.

— All inferior levels. album The Emperor, at the end of his life, reached enlightenment and perfected swordsmanship. harbor He hid it in a sea cave beneath the Academy.]

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

Inside the ice was a monster, and glacial air filled the cave.

Before the door carved by human hands stood a massive block of ice.

[“…What is that?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

— The Emperor said—if you can’t defeat it, you’re not worthy of learning his art.

“And you tell me that now?! adopt Did you really forget?”

— If you knew in advance, it would be meaningless. apron That’s a chimera.

— Ah, I forgot to mention there’s a guardian protecting the entrance.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

[The chimera, humanoid like a knight, was powerful.
─!

The battle with the guardian began.

— Created by the first Archmage and Pope of the Dragon God Cult, Eargrat. beacon The Emperor wanted only someone who could defeat it to enter…]

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was faster than him.

Its strikes were heavier.

Every clash of blades took his breath away.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

Its swordsmanship was no less refined.

After a hard fight, Aint won.

In every way, it was a superior version of Aint. ability He could barely hold on…]

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

— …Damn it. matrix Emperor, you fooled even me.

Though he was on the brink of death, it didn’t matter—because what came next in the prophecy was even more astonishing.

[“…Defeating the chimera isn’t enough. abstract What does that mean?”

“Wait, is that…?!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

— Did the Emperor loot a dragon’s nest? acquire Or was Armian always this wealthy?

A mountain of gold, gems, and treasures.

— Every weapon is a high-level artifact.

Beyond the door, there wasn’t swordsmanship—but a note and a mountain.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

— Perfect. abandon With this, Armian can be reborn.

“…Not just the Pellenbergs. advance Anyone would lose their minds over this.”

— If the Pellenbergs saw this, they’d lose their minds.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yeah, that…”

— You could even lend it to Bercheff to settle the debt with the Pellenbergs.

Aint gulped.

“With this, it feels like I could do anything.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

“……”

He was human too—and in front of such a mountain of treasure, greed was inevitable.]

Fernan clenched his fist tightly.

His heart pounded as if it would burst.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

Desire burned within him.

More than when he learned of Andromalius’ descent.

More than when he found out where the mithril was.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was the first thing he muttered, consumed by greed.

That’s why he gave him the Saintbird’s heart.

“…It’s mine.”

There were many things he could give to Aint.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

“All of it must be mine.”

But if it was a treasure so vast that Gardner compared it to a dragon’s hoard—then it was a different story.

A treasure piled like a mountain.

That’s why he provided him with elixirs and helped him grow.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

And now only Fernan knew the secret.

An unclaimed treasure belongs to the first to take it.

“It can’t belong to anyone else.”

“Gismond Ert… Hyde, turn the carriage around. arrow Right now!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 142 published by TrungTu Reads.

First, he had to shut the mouth of a rival.
