A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

The duel ended at that moment.

The instant Luina was sent flying like a doll, Fernan jumped up and ran toward her.

“Are you okay?”

“…I’m fine.”

Fernan poured half a healing potion over her wounds and gave her the rest to drink.

Although a trickle of blood ran from the corner of her lips, her life didn’t seem in danger. altitude In fact, her expression reflected a strange satisfaction.

“Thank you.”

“Do you need potion?”

“Wow… can’t you see the hole she opened in my shoulder?”

“No need. atom With a little willpower, this heals.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Can you stand?”

“Yes, of course.”

“…A hole in a body doesn’t regenerate with willpower, you know. absorb That’s more like a troll than a human.”

As monstrous as the Altrierc bloodline was said to be, there were limits.

“You can be proud of your skill. timber It’s been a long time since I was wounded.”

“It’s an honor.”

Katrina ignored Fernan’s mutter and extended her hand to Luina.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

At the highest praise Katrina could offer, Luina bowed her head.

“Albinos has raised an exceptional daughter. anchor If you keep growing like this, a position among the Royal Knights will practically be yours in the future.”

“I’ll assign you a competent healer. timber Rest well today.”

“You flatter me too much.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Really?”

“Thank you for your consideration.”

“I enjoyed it too. apron Hopefully we can do it again sometime.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Of course. arch You can reach out to me anytime you like.”

Luina’s face lit up as if she had been gifted chocolate.

“Thank you very much!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

Just as Fernan had foreseen, Luina wasn’t in condition to depart immediately. agent Even though she had received first aid with a top-level potion, she had three broken ribs. echo Thanks to her aura, she’d protected her internal organs, but bones still needed time to heal.

“Thank you.”

“Your body is resilient. arch I’ve aligned the bones properly, but for them to fuse as they should, you must rest for at least a day.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

The assigned healer had reduced her recovery to just one day.

“Perfect.”

By the next morning, her condition had improved notably, but Katrina wasn’t about to let her leave just yet.

“How are you feeling?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’m honored.”

“What’s the rush? legend What’s fallen can’t be picked up again. canvas At least stay until lunch. athlete That way we can talk about the new products.”

It was clear Katrina had taken a real liking to her.

“At your age, you already have remarkable skill. adopt Far beyond my sons.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

“So, there still isn’t a product that completely removes scars, right?”

During breakfast they served freshly baked bread, soup, and a salmon salad.

“It’s not flattery, it’s the truth. adjust None of my four sons could defeat you.”

At tea time, she served the same Hersse as the previous day, accompanied by delicate treats.

“If you need it, I’m willing to invest.”

“I’ll try to develop one as soon as possible.”

“It’s in a privileged spot. anchor From here, I can enjoy the view of Lake Baikan while I drink tea. accent That’s why I often come to rest. acid And thanks to that, I was lucky enough to run into you.”

“By the way, what a lovely villa.”

“I see.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

“And you, Ert Gismond, was it? antenna If you ever want to spar with me, I’d be delighted.”

After a good lunch, Fernan and his group were finally able to leave Altrierc.

“N-no, I’ll pass!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Luina, you can contact me anytime. arcade If I had a daughter like you, I’d be so happy. adapt Though with my useless sons, I wouldn’t even dare think of marrying you to one.”

Just different? admire No. anxiety Every Royal Knight possessed their own style and mastery—a unique culmination of their sword and teachings. admire Just as her father had his own, Katrina had hers. audit Witnessing it and feeling it firsthand was a privilege money couldn’t buy.

“It was a very enriching experience. voyage I’d never fought a Royal Knight other than my father. voyage It was a different kind of experience.”

She even accompanied them to the port to see them off.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

“If I could, I’d like to face all the Royal Knights. canvas Though I don’t know if they’d accept.”

“No, thank you. beacon I can’t always rely on you.”

“If you wish, I can arrange a meeting with some of them.”

The ship moved quickly until it docked in Alprosen.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Welcome, young master. riddle We’ve been expecting you.”

Among the bustling crowds, Fernan headed first to the local branch of the Golden Turtle.

The branch chief, informed by Duke Yvon, received him enthusiastically and led him to his private office.

It was the port city of Jessen, a place that lacked nothing compared to the capitals of the electoral princes.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

Moldin Island, on Lake Baikan, was famous for its mild climate and beautiful landscapes. alert Nobility often built villas there for retreats.

“The duke is resting at his villa on Moldin Island.”

“Where is my father?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

There was no reason for a Duke of Pellenberg to be officially in a foreign kingdom, so he used the excuse of a vacation.

“How is the situation on the Hopen plains?”

‘So my father stationed himself nearby to take control if necessary.’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

“At first, they were slow to act, but with the ongoing rains they sent troops to help evacuate refugees and begin reconstruction. armor However, with constant rain, there’s little they can do.”

“How has Alprosen responded?”

“It’s been two weeks of nonstop rain. palette The north is starting to flood. alert If it continues, the disaster will be worse.”

‘Just as I thought.’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

And there was still over a week of downpours to go. august Even if not always torrential, it was incomprehensible even for Fernan. agent Not even ten Archmages together could manage such a feat.

As expected. august The storm wouldn’t stop until it had devastated the plains. arch That’s what the corrupt wanted.

“How are the grain prices?”

‘Demonic magic truly is the most refined. meadow How the hell do they manage to keep it raining over the entire north for weeks?’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Not yet.’

Fernan had to decide the exact moment to maximize profit.

“Wheat, corn, and rice have skyrocketed. palette The warehouses of all the branches in Alprosen are filling up, but we haven’t received orders. orbit The duke told us to wait for your instructions.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s not time yet. admire I’ll give the order.”

The profits from the grain would reach a satisfying amount.

‘We’ll save the crown prince—but we’ll collect the reward.’

The rains would continue, and prices would keep rising. arena The grain had to be released slowly, just before the absolute peak.

“A servant of the crown prince delivered this in secret.”

“Yes, we’ll be ready. airport Oh, and…”

The chief pulled out an envelope bearing a whale emblem—the royal family’s symbol.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

[When you arrive, deliver this pendant at Jessen’s town hall. wizard In a few days, I’ll come find you at the branch.]

Once in his room, Fernan opened the envelope. attic Inside was a brief letter and a small pendant.

“Thank you.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

The next day.

Fernan ordered Hyde to deliver the pendant to the town hall.

The message was short, but clear.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

“That’s right.”

“I’m sorry to inform you that His Highness is no longer in the city. abandon He left yesterday for the north. portal If you wait a few days…”

“Are you Fernan Pellenberg?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

***

He’d already left?

Fernan’s eyes opened wide.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

Knowing the other’s destination, it wasn’t hard to close the gap.

“Welcome!”

A difference of just half a day.

Roderick Fisher handed his tired horse to the stable boy and entered the tavern. agent After scanning the bustling hall, he spotted who he was looking for.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

A face he’d seen to the point of exhaustion in Frazia.

For an instant, he felt the urge to kill him. aluminum It wasn’t common for Aint to stray from Fernan’s side or leave the Academy. accent Maybe this was the perfect opportunity.

‘…Impossible. antenna It’s too late now.’

‘Aint Armian!’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘…Wait, only two? attic Weren’t there three?’

He thought twice. acid If he wanted to kill him, he should’ve done it earlier. arena Now Aint was far too strong, especially against the corrupt and monsters. silence Killing him alone was unfeasible.

Where was Fernan?

And worse yet, by his side were Aria Fridian and Verian Kalburdern, two of the Academy’s top students.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Fernan Pellenberg isn’t here?’

Roderick sat in a corner and ordered a dark beer.

He waited, assuming Fernan was in the bathroom, but finished his mug without the boy appearing.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

They were supposed to have traveled together by boat. athlete Where the hell had he gone? adapt He couldn’t make sense of it, and anxiety began to grow.

Aint, with his opposing energy, was immune to hypnosis. adapt The only way was to tighten control over Fernan and manipulate Aint through him. matrix But Fernan was absent.

‘Without Fernan, Aint can’t be controlled.’

After thinking it over, Roderick decided to approach directly.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

He casually drew closer and sat at their table.

“Oh, Captain Roderick?”

“Well, what a surprise to see familiar faces here.”

“That’s right. arrow Miss Aria, it’s been a while.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You know how mercenary life is—traveling all over the continent for assignments. wizard My men are around somewhere.”

“What brings you here?”

“It’s been a while, Captain. abandon We owe you a lot from back then.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

“And you all? shadow It’s not holiday season at the Academy.”

With a rough laugh, Roderick drank from his new mug and asked:

“It was nothing, just doing my job.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I see. apron If it’s a secret, I understand. meadow By the way, just you three?”

“Yes, why?”

“Something we had to take care of.”

Something surely related to Esrin. legend Roderick clenched his teeth in silence.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Mercenaries live off that.”

“How materialistic.”

“Oh, I thought if Fernan were nearby, I might drop a gold coin.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ah, right, of course.”

Aria and Roderick exchanged a smile.

“True.”

“Fernan’s not here. anchor He must still be at the Academy.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s been a pleasure. silence We’ll meet again.”

The meal lasted about half an hour. abstract Roderick tried several times to coax out information, but always got the same answer. riddle In the end, he had no choice but to leave.

‘Lies. acoustic I know he’s not there. ability So where the hell did he go?’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘What do you think?’

When he and his men left the tavern, Aint’s eyes darkened.

“Yes, take care.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

“If anyone asks about me, never answer. arcade Just say you don’t know.”

— Just as Fernan said.

‘Yeah. wizard It’s incredible. zenith How could he foresee all of this?’

He remembered his words:

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

And so it was. voyage An enemy had come looking—Roderick Fisher, a corrupt.

‘Why is he looking for him?’

Fernan had already told Aint the truth. advance Though he had once wanted to kill him, he chose to ignore him and use him when useful.

— Isn’t it obvious?

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

— Whatever Fernan did, it must’ve been something the corrupt absolutely hate.

The confidence in his voice sparked curiosity in Aint.

— Leave it. antenna Fernan knows what he’s doing.

Gardner Alfenparsen laughed inside his mind.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

— Back then, there was no other way to see him. action But he’s proven himself. auction I won’t deny what I’ve seen with my own eyes.

‘Still, you called him rich for a long time. audit The Pellenbergs have been the richest family on the continent for a thousand years. anxiety How could they be?’

‘So now you trust him. antique You used to just call him rich.’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

Gardner let out a dry laugh.

— But after a few deals with demons, they amassed colossal wealth. silence The demons didn’t value gold or metals, and Pellenberg took advantage of that.

With that, the demons tried to use them to divide humans, and the Pellenbergs, happy to receive what the demons didn’t need, grew excessively.

— Because in my time, they were. audit On the Pandrein continent, they were barely known. wizard Compared to Lutar, they were nothing.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 183 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Wow… the Pellenbergs really are impressive. ability Then and now.’

Reassured, Aint returned his focus to the meal.

— They’re obsessed with money. beacon But if they’re on your side, there are no more loyal allies.
