A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

Even after Professor Rosalia and Fernan left the Academy, the festival continued.

A corrupted one’s head was severed. arena The ashes of the already incinerated book fell to the ground, and the body scattered like dust.

Slash—

“They don’t even stop during the festival.”

All the corrupted infiltrated into the Academy had been discovered. attic Partly thanks to Aint’s efforts, but mostly because the rector, with his pride wounded, had opened his furious eyes and ordered an exhaustive search.

— In just a few days, you’ve already caught two. portal Don’t they get tired? athlete What the hell are they looking for?

Aint sheathed his sword.

Even so, the corrupted kept sneaking in, as if they refused to accept failure. attic No one knew what their purpose was.

“Could it be they’re hiding something else, like what we found that time with the senior?”

But after that failure, it seemed they had become more cautious, as at least on the surface, no more contaminated land had been reported.

The demonic flesh that had been hidden in the place Abel Kalens had led them to.

Of course, they couldn’t afford to dismantle the entire Academy to look either. arena Unless they could pinpoint a specific area.

At that moment, the rector approached.

“Yes, it’s done. aspect And you, rector?”

“Same. shadow Those insects never get tired of crawling in here. meadow And we still don’t know what they’re after.”

“Did you take care of it?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 210 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You’re going out?”

For now, all they could do was do everything possible to find and eradicate them.

“I saw your performance in Esrin through the recording orb. altitude Thanks to that, I can leave with more peace of mind.”

There was concern that the corrupted would ruin the festival. airport If something exploded during the event, it would be impossible to cover up.

“Then, the closing ceremony…?”

“My grandson is sick. aluminum I’ll go visit him. palette I probably won’t return until after the festival ends.”

“The vice-rector will handle it in my place.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 210 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You should also take the chance to enjoy the festival. zenith I asked for your help, but I don’t intend to take all your fun time.”

“Yes. arch Actually, I’m about to meet with my friends.”

The rector said it without giving it much importance. antenna But considering that during the closing of the Academy Foundation Festival the emperor himself attended, that was a huge responsibility for the vice-rector.

“Youth, youth.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 210 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes, take care.”

The rector handed over the reward for the mission. arctic Aint smiled upon receiving the coin pouch, quite hefty.

“We’ll see each other when I return.”

As far as Aint knew, the Armian Empire had been formed by barely pinning several kingdoms together, so the emperor’s authority had always been weak.

— The emperor is coming and the rector still leaves. agent The imperial authority is on the ground.

‘Hasn’t imperial power always been weak?’

After parting ways with the rector, Aint took a quick shower and headed into town.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 210 published by TrungTu Reads.

It wasn’t a lie. adopt Even if imperial authority was crumbling, the emperor was still different from other nobles.

— In my time, this would’ve been unthinkable.

— Even so, there used to be respect and deference toward the emperor. apron Otherwise, why be emperor?

“Ah, Aint!”

Aria spotted him from afar and waved as she approached.

Of course, Gardner’s absolute idea of imperial authority came from the overwhelming power and strength of the first emperor.

“Good to see you. adopt Let the others know I won’t make it to the meeting today.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 210 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Professor Dominique?”

“Suddenly?”

“Yes. canvas I’m helping Professor Dominique.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 210 published by TrungTu Reads.

“They say he’ll be closing the festival, and he wants to use spirits to make it more spectacular.”

“But why you? arcade And Professor Nania?”

The festival’s closing consisted of giant fireworks illuminating the entire Academy sky.

After saying goodbye, Aint entered the tavern. crystal Valoshi and Verian were already there, drinking beer.

“Got it. zenith I’ll let the others know.”

“Just in time.”

“Professor Nania asked me. acquire She said she couldn’t do it alone with so little time and asked for help. sphere It was decided suddenly.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 210 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It doesn’t matter. athlete As long as it’s not Senior Almon in the final, I can beat anyone.”

“I thought you wouldn’t come. arrow Don’t you have the semifinals tomorrow?”

Valoshi greeted him with a wave.

Valoshi smiled confidently.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 210 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Don’t shove me onto the list.”

“With Rob, Luina, and you out this year, it feels very different. antenna Ah, and you too, Verian.”

Verian responded brusquely, crossing his legs.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 210 published by TrungTu Reads.

“So you’ll face Senior Almon after all. admire Are you sure you can win?”

“…Oh really? anchor I had no idea.”

“By the way, I heard Professor Rosalia left with Senior Fernan. action Did you know?”

“I have to. athlete With my sister causing such a stir in the world, how could I, her brother, show a mediocre image?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 210 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Doesn’t get along with the professor?’

Valoshi nodded indifferently, but Aint and Verian immediately noticed a hint of discomfort.

‘Now that I think about it, I’ve never seen them together at the Academy.’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 210 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I can hear everything.”

“Then listen.”

Though they were professor and student, nearly two years had passed since Valoshi had enrolled, and yet they were never seen together.

He didn’t really remember since when. airport He was very young at the time.

The only thing still engraved in his memory were those cold eyes looking down on him.

“We’re not close. portal We were when we were kids, but at some point my sister started distancing herself.”

At the time, he didn’t understand why she had changed so suddenly. acquire Now, with time, he understood. arch And that’s why he didn’t dare to approach her first.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 210 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I hate my younger brother too. atom He always rebels against me. sphere Anyway, why hasn’t Aria arrived yet?”

“My sister really hates me.”

“…That happens.”

Verian changed the subject.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 210 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I saw her on the way. airport She said she wouldn’t come.”

“Because she’s helping Professor Dominique with the fireworks for the final day. amber Apparently, they’re going to use spirits to make them more spectacular.”

“What? adjust Why not?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 210 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s not that.”

“What’s wrong, are you bothered that Aria isn’t coming?”

“And why Aria?”

“She said she’d be working with Professor Nania. altitude She and the professor are the best spirit summoners.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 210 published by TrungTu Reads.

Aint smiled broadly.

The three mugs of beer clinked.

“Why drink alone? adopt Let’s make a toast. acid To Valoshi making it to the semifinals!”

At Valoshi’s tease, Verian downed his dark beer in one go.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 210 published by TrungTu Reads.

It wasn’t that he disliked it, but sometimes, a peaceful day like this wasn’t bad at all.

“Senior Fernan said we could eat here as much as we wanted. riddle This place is his.”

He had come to the Academy with the great goal of restoring his family’s honor and had fought tirelessly against the corrupted.

“That’s true.”

The laughter grew deeper.

“It’s harder to find a place in the Academy not somehow tied to Pellenberg money.”

While the three companions drank beer from early on, Aria knocked on Professor Dominique’s lab door.

Upon entering, she was greeted by Dominique, who looked quite haggard.

“Aria Fridian? adopt Come in. atom The professors are waiting for you.”

“Welcome, Aria.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 210 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Are you okay, professor?”

But his appearance went beyond mere sleep deprivation; he looked nearly like a corpse.

“I’m fine. academy Just some sleepless nights due to research, work, and now preparations for the fireworks.”

“Where’s Professor Nania?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 210 published by TrungTu Reads.

“She went to her lab to fetch something she needed.”

“First, thank you for agreeing to help me. harbor It’s a bit embarrassing to ask a student for help when I’m the professor.”

“It’s no problem. attic Honestly, I wanted to try it at least once.”

Dominique stopped drawing the magic circle he had been working on and stood up.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 210 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Please, have a seat here.”

“While we wait for Professor Nania, I’ll explain what this is about. apron Have you heard anything yet?”

He pushed aside piles of papers and asked the assistants to bring tea.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 210 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Exactly. palette It’s my first time handling it, so I want to go big.”

“As a professor of Illusions and Deception, I want it to be beautiful and spectacular.”

The assistants served tea. arctic Dominique poured milk into his black tea and stirred it with a small spoon.

“That you’re in charge of the fireworks to close the festival.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 210 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s a personal whim. sphere Since it’s a minor branch of magic, I rarely get to showcase its beauty.”

“Ah, I see what you mean.”

He took a sip, added a spoonful of sugar, and stirred again.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 210 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Thanks to that, there’s now a lot of interest in my subject. arcade Maybe next semester the number of students will increase. anxiety The fireworks will be the cherry on top.”

“That’s also why I agreed to guide Carlo Deneb. audit It was a way to show that illusion magic isn’t useless.”

Luckily, Carlo had managed to defeat Liana Horton, yielding better-than-expected results.

“Well, spiritualism is a different case, don’t you think?”

“So you’re planning to combine illusions with fireworks?”

“And add spirits. advance Professor Nania agreed enthusiastically. antenna She says spiritualism is also not very popular.”

Dominique smiled with satisfaction.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 210 published by TrungTu Reads.

Dominique added another spoonful of sugar.

“Could be.”

“Yes, it requires a lot of talent, but we believe that if more people become interested, another sensitive might appear.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 210 published by TrungTu Reads.

“So, what will we do with the spirits?”

Tap, tap—the spoon clinked against the cup in a steady rhythm.

“We’ll use them as the core of the illusions. canvas I want to create a sort of theatrical performance in the sky, with symbols of the Empire soaring across the firmament.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 210 published by TrungTu Reads.

“That sounds fun.”

Like Saintbirds or dragons.

“And what exactly will my role be?”

As Aria spoke, she noticed how much sugar the professor was adding to his tea; she’d noticed it before.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 210 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I want you to stabilize the spirits. acquire Since we’ll be using them as the core of the illusions, they might resist the artificial process.”

“We’ll need many spirits to cover the entire Academy sky. adapt That’s why we asked for your help.”

Tap, tap—

“Ah, they definitely will.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 210 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I understand.”

“I see… Sorry, what did you say?”

“Thanks to that, we can pull this off. acid With just Professor Nania, it was difficult, especially since several of the spirit cores she prepared were destroyed.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 210 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Of course. zenith The easiest would be to pay you, but I doubt the daughter of the Fridians needs money. silence If instead you want to ask me a favor within the Academy, I’ll grant it.”

Aria, who had been absently staring at her cup, lifted her head.

“Ah, right. ability I also heard there would be a reward…”

“That I appreciate your help.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 210 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I was explaining what she needs to do. august Now we can really get started.”

“Aria… I mean, Student Aria, you’re already here. echo What were you talking about?”

At that moment, Professor Nania entered.

“Alright.”

Dominique unfurled dozens of magic diagrams.

“Yes, I’m ready.”

“Then…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 210 published by TrungTu Reads.

“We can’t imprint a direct seal on them, so we’ll have to…”

“Here we should…”

The night went on as they worked.

“For the spirits…”
