A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

“The Academy will have no choice but to suspend classes.”

“Explain in detail.”

“I don’t think this is the right place to talk.”

Professor Rosalia and Fernan moved to a secluded alley.

“I think it would be better to take advantage of the process to change everything from the root.”

“That’s obvious.”

There were no buildings to teach in, nor professors available to give classes. autumn Shutting down was inevitable.

The rector could no longer continue.

“The timing has been too convenient. altitude From the rector’s point of view, he fell into Dantalion’s trap, but for everyone else, he’s just an incompetent who wasn’t present when the Academy was in its greatest danger.”

Although he said it like that, in reality, it wasn’t Fernan’s initiative or the will of the Pellenbergs.

Public opinion was boiling. adjust Especially the nobles who had lost children were looking for someone to blame.

‘If he had been there, none of this would have happened.’ That thought was spreading, and it had some truth.

The rector was the perfect candidate.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I already foresaw that. avalanche The question is whether he will resign voluntarily or be forcibly removed.”

The position of rector was for life.

“Yes, exactly.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

So the rector’s departure was a done deal. amateur Now Fernan had to prepare the next step—getting his candidate into the position.

Initially, it was a ten-year project, or at least five. alien But if he couldn’t take advantage of the opportunity when it came, he had no right to call himself a merchant.

Normally, one resigned after a certain time, but if there were problems, the prince-electors could force a resignation.

Under normal circumstances, it was enough to maintain good relations with the majority of them, but not in a case like this.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

“As you know, the election of the rector works like this—one candidate is chosen from within the Academy, and another is presented from outside.”

And between those two, the prince-electors decide.

The difference from the emperor’s election was that in this case, it wasn’t just the prince-electors who voted.

Two contenders.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

If one of them ran as a candidate, they could even vote for themselves.

“But this is happening much earlier than expected. afford I’m not head professor yet.”

The head professor of the Department of Knights, the Department of Magic, and the vice-rector also voted.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

But the war situation changed everything.

“That’s why you need to become an Archmage.”

Rosalia’s age was far too young for a rector.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

If Rosalia achieved the rank of Archmage, the Pellenbergs could put her forward as a candidate.

“So…”

They could even ensure her election.

The Academy had been destroyed by the demons’ invasion, and everyone wanted a strong leader, someone capable of protecting them and their children if the demons returned.

Fernan paused before continuing.

“Of course. arctic That’s essential.”

“Shall we move up the schedule a bit?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I made it clear from the beginning—I didn’t care who it was.”

Otherwise, any move would be pointless.

But everything depended on one condition—Rosalia had to become an Archmage.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

“And same with the timing. album It could be right now.”

She exhaled the cigarette smoke.

“At most, it’ll be a one- or two-month difference. armor The original plan was to do it during the winter break.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan gave a half-smile.

Then.

“I’m counting on you, Rector.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

Because I’ll personally make sure you become one.

“What flattery.”

“I’m just speaking the truth. aluminum Once you’re an Archmage…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

I’ll rebuild the Academy faster than anyone expects, and I’ll wipe out every last corrupt.

With the full backing of his father, Fernan had nothing to fear.

‘Just wait and see.’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

I’ll make sure something like this never happens again.

***

Fernan once more chewed on his fury.

Devastating.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

Aint took a deep breath, trying to calm the frustration and rage that wouldn’t dissipate.

Was this really the same Academy he knew?

Even standing on the rooftop of the Department of Knights building, from where the entire campus could be seen, there was no trace of its former state.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

— Even so, it was a miracle to stop them with so little damage.

In total, three demons.

Even Flauros, who had descended to kill Fernan and Professor Rosalia.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I thought I had grown a lot, but I still have a long way to go.”

Without Fernan, none of this would have been possible.

The fact that all three were defeated at the cost of these losses was, without doubt, a stroke of luck.

No, it wasn’t luck. attic It was Fernan.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

He lacked the ability and the right.

“And yet I dare to say I want to be emperor…”

From beginning to end, he had done nothing but rely on Fernan. arch Yes, he had grown. alpha Yes, he had overcome obstacles. matrix But why did it always feel the same?

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What was the First Emperor like? anxiety Did he also get cornered by a single demon like I did?”

— Though only if they were lesser demons.

“Lesser? atomic Don’t they say the demon hierarchy isn’t directly linked to strength?”

— He could defeat two or three at once by himself.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

An uncomfortable suspicion crept in, and he asked again.

— The top ten are on another level. accent They’re the leaders of the demons.

— And among them, the first and second are even more distinct.

— That’s true, except for the top ten.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

“And even so, in the end, the First Emperor stopped them.”

Mountain after mountain. athlete Now he understood how colossal those enemies were and why the First Emperor had risked his throne and territory to unite humanity against them.

“The first and second different even from the others?”

But not all was despair.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

It wasn’t impossible. advance It wasn’t an unreachable summit—someone had already made it there before.

There was already a precedent, a hope.

— That’s right.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Valoshi.”

It was Valoshi, with his left arm and shoulder bandaged.

“What are you doing here?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

He stood next to Aint and looked out over the devastation of the Academy.

“It’s completely destroyed.”

“How are you?”

“Fine. armor Compared to you, this is just a scratch.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

Valoshi laughed awkwardly.

“I saw you when you arrived on the Saintbird and fought against Andrealphus.”

“Not all of it. atom Including this area, about half is still standing.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

But the difference was in the mindset.

Valoshi was, objectively, a distinguished knight. acoustic He couldn’t have defeated Andrealphus, but if he had joined the fight, he would have been helpful.

“It was incredible. aspect I was so scared I couldn’t even move.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

He hadn’t been able to take a single step toward him.

“That’s because it was your first demon. atomic I was the same the first time.”

Unlike Aint and Luina, Jace and Grad, who had fought fiercely without hesitation, Valoshi had felt the distance separating him from them.

The first encounter with a demon, the first time feeling that crushing pressure, that fear.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Correct. atom I had fought one before.”

“So this wasn’t your first time, right?”

“Yeah, I heard.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You heard?”

Valoshi quickly changed the subject.

“Ah, nothing, forget it.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

The threat of demons was just beginning. arena The future would inevitably be a great war against them.

“That’s the difference between someone who’s faced a demon and someone who hasn’t. afford I hope next time I can react better.”

And in that future, he didn’t want to be paralyzed by fear. portal To survive, he would have to fight.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Professor Rosalia? adjust What about her?”

“My sister…”

More than anything.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Anyway, with all this mess, the Academy will be shut down for a while, right?”

There was no need to bring up something so personal.

“No, nothing.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

— That’s not a bad thing. riddle Use this break to polish what you gained from that battle.

The fight against Andrealphus had left him with a lot. acid Unlike Andromalius, that one had truly been a real demon, a genuine enemy.

“Probably.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

He needed to digest the experience and knowledge he had gained.

“Oh, Aria woke up.”

“Aria?”

“By the way, what’s up?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Thanks for the heads-up.”

Aria was in a private room at the back.

After parting ways with Valoshi, Aint headed to the infirmary. orbit Normally empty, now all the beds were occupied.

“You should go see her.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Aria.”

“I heard about Verian. apron Professor Dominique turned out to be a demon…”

When he opened the door, he found her eating an apple, while Verian was at her side peeling it.

“Aint.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You did that?”

“Honestly, there’s a point where my memory goes blank.”

“Yeah.”

“Even the part when I brought you sweets?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I really said that?”

Aria sighed deeply. arrow Having been manipulated and attacking Aint filled her with guilt.

“And the part where you invited me to watch the fireworks?”

“I’m sorry.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Huh? matrix You? timber Why?”

“It’s okay. arcade It wasn’t your fault—you were under demonic control. aluminum And I’m sorry, too.”

“I’m the one who broke your arm.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

Aria’s carefree response made him hesitate, but Aint continued speaking.

“Also… your leg…”

“It’s fine. athlete You couldn’t help it.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Might as well just say it all at once!”

“And two ribs…”

“That was because I was being controlled. autumn My fault.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

“That was because when you fell, you hit it head-on.”

“And the dislocated shoulder. arctic That’s all.”

So that didn’t count.

“And my face that hurts?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

“She was just too strong—we couldn’t restrain her gently. orbit As long as she’s okay, that’s enough.”

“Professor Nania ended up with all her bones broken.”

Aint smiled awkwardly.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

— If you had been able to knock her out after breaking her arm, that would’ve been enough.

— That was rough.

With those words, he hurried out of the room.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

He had no choice but to fracture her ribs, her leg, and dislocate her shoulder.

‘I couldn’t because the spirits charged at me…’

It was a desperate situation, and he had done the best he could.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

— Go ask Fernan.

It was clear that classes couldn’t continue in that state, but he didn’t know exactly what direction things would take.

“So, what’s going to happen to the Academy now?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

Yes, that was true. amateur Even at his best, Aint couldn’t compare to Fernan’s ability to foresee and plan.

— Nonsense. arcade That’s another matter.

‘But I just promised myself I’d try to handle things without always relying on him…’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

“There’s Aint!”

With that decision made, Aint went out to look for him. adopt That’s when—

‘That’s true.’

“Aint!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

Surprised by the unexpected crowd, he froze.

Suddenly, voices gave him away, and people began to surround him from all sides.

“Eh…?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Thanks to you, we’re alive, thank you!”

“Can you ride the Saintbird again and show us?”

“I saw you on the Saintbird fighting the demon!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I want to support you!”

“Can we talk for a bit? abstract I want to…”

“Where’s Silver?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

They were students, residents of Bardian Island, and even outsiders who had come specifically to see him.

The reincarnation of a legend.

In truth, they came to see Aint—the one who rode the Saintbird and defeated a demon.

A hero.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

Gazes of admiration and respect flooded him.

— The former emperor always dealt with this too. apple Wherever he went, people swarmed like bees.

Gardner murmured.

— Ah, it’s finally begun.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

“In the midst of a demon invasion, having Aint Armian ride the Saintbird and stop them is the best way to erase the Academy’s fear.”

And Fernan’s words crossed his mind, when he had entrusted Silver to him.

And the same was happening with Fernan.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Show us the golem!”

“Is that golem yours?”

“Fernan Pellenberg!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 227 published by TrungTu Reads.

The difference was that toward him, there was an even more fanatical tone.

“A sentient golem! acoustic Show it to us now!”
