A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

Knights and soldiers screamed as they were thrown into the air.

The monsters’ heads exploded as if detonated.

And in the midst of the darkness, the light of Armian shone with an impossible-to-ignore brilliance.

Even the corrupts who had tried to flee had long since abandoned him, disintegrating into a handful of dust.

The knights and soldiers who had protected him fell quickly, and soon, no one was left around him.

An incredible spectacle, one that Tulwin Esrin didn’t want to believe. action He preferred to close his eyes, but denying reality didn’t make it a dream.

“…Cruel. artist Was it really necessary to kill them all?”

Some died from blows, others were pierced or sliced in two by his sword.

It was over. autumn Everything.

None of those who had loyally protected him were spared from Hakon Kaelin’s sword.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

Hakon Kaelin calmly wiped the blood from his sword and sheathed it after decapitating the last monster.

The only thing in common was that now they were all simple corpses.

“They had no value in living. absorb Not only did they fail to serve their lord, they dragged him into evil.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

Hakon turned his face. august The third prince’s gaze followed him, and there was Fernan walking with the book in hand.

“I don’t know, Your Highness. anchor My desire would be to cut off your head right here, but being a foreign noble, that would cause a bigger problem.”

“I don’t yet know what we’ll do with you.”

“…What do you plan to do with me?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

Killing him right then would be most satisfying, but it wouldn’t be clean.

Whether he liked it or not, Tulwin was still his brother and a prince of the kingdom.

He first had to speak with the first prince, who had the best chance of becoming Esrin’s next king.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

Or rather, he would die someday, but through an “accident”—not now, and not because of his alliance with the corrupts.

“Pray that your elder brother is compassionate, Your Highness. altitude Maybe, with luck, he’ll decide to spare your life.”

“How dare you…!”

Fernan knew that the third prince wouldn’t die.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

If a direct connection between a royal family member and the corrupts were discovered, Fridian’s position would be in ruins.

The same applied here. august If it were revealed that a prince of the kingdom had allied with the corrupts and sacrificed his own people…

‘A rebellion could break out.’

It was the same reason Aria wanted to get rid of Adolf quietly.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

If the truth came to light, Esrin would fall in a single day.

To summon monsters of that level, a few lives weren’t enough.

It wouldn’t be just an international scandal.

“Hyde.”

Hyde tied Tulwin’s body. acoustic He only clenched his lips and glared, without resisting. matrix He knew fighting was useless.

“Yes, young master.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

“And why would I do that?”

“By the way, could you tell us how you met those corrupts and how you ended up allied with them?”

“Because that might increase, even slightly, your chances of staying alive.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Daniel was the first to approach. acquire Ten years ago, at a royal family party.”

“What false words.”

Tulwin mocked Fernan, but still opened his mouth.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

“And five years ago, he showed his true face.”

He introduced himself as a foreign noble engaged in business, slowly approaching, like someone who filters in little by little.

At first, he didn’t speak of the corrupts.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

But the situation was already too skewed in his brother’s favor.

At that time, when he had already begun to give up on the throne due to the first prince’s firm position, he realized that his father still wished to see him crowned.

The first prince, though not yet officially named heir, was recognized by the majority as the future king.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

“He told me, ‘What’s the difference between using nobles and using corrupts? album Both are merely tools to reach an end.’”

And then, Count Daniel whispered sweet words.

To break that solidity, he needed a variable.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan clicked his tongue. airport “That’s why it was full of holes from the start.”

“Your Highness, it seems you still don’t understand your situation. orbit If this were the Empire, I would’ve killed you by now.”

“You’re still insolent.”

“So those words of yours were, in reality, corrupts’ sophistries.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Perhaps you’re right.”

Fernan looked at him coldly.

“A piece of trash like you can only keep your eyes open and talk to me because you’re a foreign prince.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘I could betray them, but they’d never dare betray me.’

“Because I’m already finished. afford And those who abandoned me don’t deserve to be covered for.”

“Then why are you telling us this so easily?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

That was the last of it. portal Fernan signaled, and Hyde silently struck the prince’s neck, rendering him unconscious.

“Wasn’t that a bit much?”

Tulwin spat it out like chewing venom.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

“True. artist Seems our prince is weak after so much rolling around with corrupts.”

“What do you mean? adjust He fainted on his own.”

Hakon Kaelin let out a rough laugh.

Thus the battle ended.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

“By the way, where’s Aint…?”

“…That’s good.”

“Seems he reached a new understanding during the fight with the Rahnas.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Perfect.’

Aint, Luina, Rosalia.

Aint was seated cross-legged in front of the Rahnas’ corpse, eyes closed.

‘Is everyone around him a genius?’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

The more they understood, the more celebrations there would be at his table and the more screams from the corrupts.

The more they shone, the more his investment shone.

‘And my money too…’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

Not everyone shared that luck. agent Verian clenched his teeth in frustration.

“…Another understanding? shadow What does he think this is, bread you get every day?”

“Easy for you to say! august Are you a mage or something?”

“Accept it, Verian.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

Its style was simple, but fast and powerful, like a wave of swords.

Meanwhile, the Rahnas had proven to be a formidable opponent.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

Clang!

‘And this is while it’s weakened? anxiety What would it be like at full strength?’

Even the light of Armian, which devoured darkness, felt pressured by its weight.

Every clash left him breathless.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

— Focus!

Two at once? galaxy Thinking he could handle both had been pure ignorance, arrogance, and pride.

It wasn’t strange that it was considered a rank 1 demon, a commander of legions.

Gardner shouted.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

That fight had seemed impossible to win. arctic Aint fell countless times, but never broke.

— Remember when you fought the emperor’s chimera.

Yes, Rahnas is strong, but that doesn’t mean you have to lose.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

But Aint had also grown since then.

He couldn’t lose.

Rahnas was stronger than that chimera.

Another image appeared in his vision—that of the Royal Knight overwhelming Rahnas with sublime mastery.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

Cleaner, more fluid, faster and heavier at once. abstract Brilliant.

Beautiful.

In Hakon Kaelin’s sword was the essence of the illusory blade, confusing Rahnas until, by the time it regained clarity, the blade was already pierced into its body.

‘…’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

Clang!

It was different from the Armian family’s swordsmanship, but every technique at the pinnacle had something to learn.

Aint followed his movements with his eyes.

Slash!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

With each clash, with each gasp, with each drop of sweat and blood, his sword became softer, heavier.

— …Is he doing it right now?

He repeated the trajectories. aspect The beginning was similar, but the end was different—adapted to himself, to the Armian school.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

Crack!

— Incredible… It’s like watching the former emperor.

Rahnas shrieked, unable to comprehend. orbit But that was only the beginning.

And that difference, growing greater and greater, changed the course of the battle.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

Clang!

At last, Aint’s sword pierced through the dark magic.

He deflected Rahnas’s strike and pierced its armor.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

The chained attacks gave it no room to breathe, tearing its body apart until it was nothing but a rag.

For a moment longer, he continued drawing trajectories in the air.

Even as life faded from his enemy, Aint didn’t stop.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

And then, finally.

“Ah.”

It was a long while before he opened them again.

Aint, seated beside the decapitated Rahnas, closed his eyes and began to contemplate himself.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

Everyone was watching him.

“…Ah.”

By then, the battle had completely ended.

“……”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Thank you.”

“Congratulations. amateur You’ve overcome the wall.”

The first to congratulate him was Hakon Kaelin.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Aint, congrats.”

“It was thanks to you, sir.”

“Well done.”

Next was Fernan, and everyone celebrated his growth.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Congratulations. matrix Now I’m looking forward to the jousting tournament.”

“Damn it, why is it always you? audit Why always you?”

Even though something odd slipped in among the voices, it was still recognition.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

In the last tournament, he hadn’t even been able to share the stage with her.

But what brought Aint the most joy was the look of anticipation in Luina’s eyes.

But now it was different.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

“This time, I won’t lose.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to think about qualifying first?”

The competitive spark in Luina’s eyes made that clear.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Kidding. auction I’m looking forward to it too. autumn But don’t think it’ll be easy for me to lose.”

Luina smiled sideways and returned to Fernan’s side.

“Eh?”

Luina, joking?

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

The surprise left Aint with a dazed expression.

Aria placed a hand on his shoulder and shook her head.

“Accept it, Aint.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Did you know?”

“Obviously. audit It’s way too obvious.”

“Look at that. legend You don’t stand a chance.”

The way Luina smiled naturally when talking to Fernan was clearly different from how she did with him.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I know. echo Feelings never follow logic.”

Aria smiled mischievously and whispered:

“…I just keep it in my heart. arctic That’s not a problem, right?”

“But if it were me, I wouldn’t mind.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’m not joking.”

“…Don’t joke.”

She was.

Maybe before, she might’ve said it half-seriously, but for some time now, another man had caught her attention more than Aint.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I need to reach an enlightenment too… me too…”

“Ugh, is he still on that?”

Aria sighed as she saw Verian sitting cross-legged, forcing his eyes shut like he was trying to achieve some sort of awakening.

It was true—even annoyances became familiar over time.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

Gismond, who had overheard nearby by chance, tilted his head, confused by the unexpected situation.

“…What’s going on? alert So Luina isn’t Aint’s heroine?”

“Wow, this is a real headache.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘If I’d kept going alone, without Fernan finding me, I probably would’ve already gotten into trouble and died.’

The good thing was, those changes weren’t negative.

Too many things had changed from the prophecy book—and it was all Fernan’s fault.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

Though Fernan sometimes felt like an overbearing boss, at least it was better than dying like a fool.

As the saying goes—not too good, not too bad—stay in the middle.

‘Better to move slowly but surely. album Slowly and surely.’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 196 published by TrungTu Reads.

With that resolve, he reaffirmed his goal.

That would be Gismond’s place in Fernan’s faction.
