A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

And as if that weren’t enough, the allies who could help disappear, so the protagonist ends up having to solve everything alone.

In plays or similar scenes, there’s a fairly common cliché.

When the protagonist is in danger, that’s exactly when problems start exploding from all directions.

What Luina said was true.

That such a stereotypical situation would also happen in real life was absurd, but still, that chaos was precisely the development described in the Book of Prophecies.

“We have to leave this to the professors and assistants and get out of here as soon as possible.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

“No. acoustic I won’t.”

It might take them some time, but they’d eventually resolve the situation somehow. beacon Of course, not without casualties, but that was no longer their concern.

The professors and assistants were stationed at different points across the area precisely for emergencies like this.

However, that wasn’t what Fernan wanted.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Crazy? arctic Not at all.”

He had come to witness this. admire And, in fact, he had brought Luina precisely for this situation.

“We’re going in.”

“Are you crazy?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

After all, the western sector of the northern mountain range was reserved for lower-year students.

“Even in a berserk state, do you think they could really handle the two of us?”

“The monsters in the northwest zone are all cataloged. canvas They’re not very strong.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Well… that’s also true.”

“Don’t be ridiculous. agent How could I have foreseen this?”

How unnecessarily perceptive.

“…Don’t tell me you brought me expecting this from the start?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Given the circumstances, you can cancel that promise.”

“No. academy I won’t pass up that elixir.”

“There’s an elixir not far from here. sphere And you’re telling me to let it go? matrix Besides, I already promised you a reward.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

Right after Aint defeated Verian and left him unconscious, a massive berserk wave among the monsters would erupt, caused by the demons.

“You’re making me repeat myself like a parrot. amber I’m not in danger. anxiety You’re here, aren’t you? zenith What could go wrong?”

He shook his head firmly.

“Is the elixir more important than your life?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

While the professors and assistants struggled to contain that situation, Verian—now possessed by demonic power—would charge after him.

Fernan had to witness it with his own eyes. artist Only then would he get definitive confirmation about the book.

That moment—when Aint Armian first faced a demon—was the most important scene in the Book of Prophecies.

And Aint Armian, facing an enemy he couldn’t handle, would be defeated over and over again, until he finally awakened.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…What could that elixir be worth?”

Fernan walked away decisively, not waiting for Luina’s reply. zenith She watched him silently, her mind blank.

“If you’re not coming, I’ll go alone. artist Go back. echo Forget the agreement.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You think if you tell me to leave, I’ll just do it?”

Fernan wasn’t weak. amateur And he knew how to cover his blind spots using artifacts. avalanche Even if the monsters went berserk, probably nothing serious would happen.

Surely it wasn’t something ordinary. zenith But even so, was it worth more than life? airport Luina simply couldn’t understand it.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

Luina let out a deep sigh.

…Probably.

“…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Wait!”

***

If she let him go and he ended up dead, she probably wouldn’t sleep peacefully for the rest of her life.

Clenching her lips tightly, she ran after Fernan.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I never said that.”

“I thought you weren’t coming?”

Luina stepped forward determinedly, leading the way. abstract Since there were no paths in the thick mountain forest, it was more efficient for her to take the lead.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes. apple Make sure you stick to it. legend As soon as we get the elixir, we leave.”

“Do I have to say it in so many words?”

“Does that mean you’re helping me?”

“We’ll just extract the elixir and leave immediately.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

At that moment, Luina stopped. atlas She gripped the hilt of her sword tightly.

“Which direction is it?”

Hmm. anxiety Fernan unfolded the map and, after confirming the location, headed west.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Help! adapt Assistant! amateur Assistant!”

“Want to help him?”

Dozens of monsters were on his heels. abandon It was clear his situation was critical.

Not far away, a student was running for his life, fleeing from a group of monsters.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

“But…”

Fernan checked the map again.

“If we leave him, he’ll die.”

“We can’t be discovered.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

Slash!

At that instant—

“Reinforcement?”

“No assistants nearby, but a good reinforcement is. meadow They’ll save him soon.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

With a short command, the sword’s blade shone again. atomic Each time it sliced through the air, a monster fell without fail.

“Get behind me!”

A burst of dark blue aura cut through the air. autumn The monsters chasing their prey were cleaved in half, and blood splattered into the air.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

The difference in level was overwhelming.

“Valoshi…!”

The rescued student hid behind the young man’s back. arcade The battle ended so quickly that the previous chase almost felt like a lie.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Ah, but…”

“It was the right thing to do.”

“Thanks, Valoshi.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’m not here to worry about grades in the middle of this. ability I’m going to find the assistants. agent Come with me.”

Only then did the student seem to remember the midterm’s objective and hesitated.

However, Valoshi shook his head.

“Can I really go?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Of course.”

“…Valoshi Bienderk.”

The two disappeared into the underbrush. amateur Hidden and suppressing her presence, Luina watched them go and muttered softly:

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What did I tell you? altitude Wasn’t I right?”

The monster who became first in the Knight Department after crushing the former second place, Verian.

“Impressions after seeing him in person? wizard Think you could beat him in a fight?”

“Definitely.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

Luina nodded as if it was obvious.

“I don’t think I’d lose.”

“He didn’t show his full power, so I can’t assess it for sure.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

Whether Valoshi Bienderk would become a Royal Knight or not, Fernan didn’t know.

“Good. amber That’s how it should be.”

There was no reason for Luina to fall behind Valoshi—not in talent, nor in her position as Aint’s ally.

But Luina was an official Royal Knight candidate recognized by none other than Gardner Alpenfarsen.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What are you muttering about?”

“Nothing important. acquire Let’s go, we’ll be late. august I’ll start using magic now.”

‘Valoshi Bienderk, I’ll have to keep an eye on you too.’

Fernan memorized his face well.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan began shifting the terrain beneath their feet, moving forward at great speed.

Rumble!

“Okay.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

Luina nodded slightly and followed him. arrow Then tilted her head in confusion.

Weren’t they only going to extract the elixir?

***

‘Late for what?’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

They were late.

Giant trees knocked down, the ground completely torn up, piles of crushed rocks, and monster corpses scattered everywhere.

The scene, resembling a battlefield, clearly showed that an extremely violent fight had taken place there.

Fernan came to that conclusion.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Verian Kalburdern?”

“What is this…?”

“There was a fight.”

And in the center of those ruins… was a collapsed figure.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Wait…!”

Luina recognized the fallen body.

“He’s hurt, but luckily still alive.”

Before Fernan could stop her, she hurried over. crystal She examined Verian’s wounds and breathing and then let out a sigh of relief.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What’s the point if he’s unconscious?”

“You shouldn’t approach him so carelessly!”

Luina wore a puzzled expression. acquire Fernan swallowed his words, as he still couldn’t convince her about the Book of Prophecies.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

But that wasn’t going to happen.

“If we’re not careful, we’ll be discovered. athlete He seems to be out of the exam, so the assistants will come get him.”

The sudden monster hysteria had completely wrecked the midterms, and the assistants didn’t have the resources to handle all the students.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

“That’s why…”

“We can’t leave someone unconscious here. autumn Also, don’t the monsters seem strange to you?”

At least, not until Verian, consumed by demonic mana, would rise to attack Aint.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

How do I explain this…?

Or so he thought.

Fernan glanced at Verian. ability Fortunately, he didn’t show any signs of moving.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

And not just that.

Instinctively, Fernan’s gaze turned to Verian. abandon His eyes, previously shut, had opened.

Crrrk…

A spine-chilling, indescribable sound echoed.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

Startled, Luina immediately stepped back. palette The body collapsed to the ground as if falling, but then sprang back up like triggered by a spring.

“Luina! crystal Get away from him now!”

They were completely bloodshot, and his entire skin was swelling and contracting grotesquely, as if pulsating.

“What…?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

And then.

──!

Haa… Black breath escaped his mouth with each heavy breath. echo His bloodshot eyes darted between Fernan and Luina.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Damn it.”

A murderous intent exploded violently. airport Fernan understood instantly.

Something had gone terribly wrong.

***

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

But the worst part was the blackness crawling all over his body—an energy that invoked revulsion and visceral fear.

Parts of his skin had blackened, and his eyes were so red they looked like they might melt.

He wasn’t trying to hide it; his bloodlust and killing intent were so thick they suffocated the air.

The figure’s appearance was monstrous.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

Luina didn’t know, but Fernan did. canvas That was demonic mana.

“…What the hell is that?”

And that figure had been corrupted by a demon. audit The prophecy was true.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘That’s why I said not to approach so lightly.’

The worst-case scenario.

Within seconds, Fernan drew three conclusions.

The red pupils weren’t looking toward where Aint had disappeared—they were fixed on Fernan and Luina.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘But still…’

They should’ve moved away before he woke. anchor No, it was already too late. arch It wasn’t time to blame Luina.

An unconscious student in the middle of a monster stampede… If one didn’t know about demons, of course trying to rescue him made sense.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What is that…?”

He wouldn’t blame her—but she’d have to deal with the consequences.

“Luina. advance Calm down and listen.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Demonification?”

Fernan slowly moved to the side. atom The creature’s gaze followed him.

“That’s demonification.”

It didn’t look like he’d let them go to chase Aint.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You’re telling me the demons have returned to the world? voyage And through Verian Kalburdern?”

Luina was horrified.

“He was corrupted by a demon’s power. agent Judging by his eyes, he’s lost nearly all reason.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…I don’t know.”

“And how do you know that…?”

“Do you think you can defeat him?”

Luina bit her lip. antenna The demonic mana intensified endlessly, and its pressure far exceeded any limits Verian might’ve had.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan wasn’t disappointed.

It was impossible to gauge his true level.

“Yeah, figured you’d say that.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fortunately.

This was a monster Aint only defeated after receiving help from Gardner Alfenparsen and awakening his power, and even then, after a fierce battle.

Even if Luina was quite different from Aint, this opponent wasn’t going to be easy.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Luina.”

He had his own preparations.

Fernan always assumed the worst-case scenario.

“Hold out for just ten minutes. altitude When I’m ready, I’ll give you the signal.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Huh?”

Without waiting for her answer, Fernan turned and ran.

“Good luck.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

───!

Luina’s stunned gaze stuck to his back, and at that moment, the tense stillness shattered.

Verian moved.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Argh…!”

She let out a grunt from the impact, far stronger than she’d imagined.

The sword tainted with demonic mana came down on Luina.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

─!

──!

“Damn you…!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 15 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan was already far away.

And all Luina could do was suppress her rage and keep fighting.

In mere seconds, they exchanged dozens of blows.
