A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

The rector would submit his resignation.

Beyond the immediate losses, the aftermath would inevitably affect the institution’s future.

The descent of Andrealphus had inflicted enormous damage on the Academy.

“So that’s the reason you wanted to speak with me?”

New professors would be chosen.

For some, it meant a fall—for others, the arrival of an opportunity.

The buildings would be rebuilt.

“You want me to support Professor Rosalia as the next candidate for rector? harbor Do you think I’ll resign?”

Fernan didn’t avert his gaze from the rector and nodded.

“Yes.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

Sad and empty, but that was the reality.

“Does what you think about it really matter?”

“Isn’t that what you truly want, deep down?”

No. autumn The rector’s opinion wouldn’t carry any weight in his own resignation.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Do you really think Professor Rosalia is someone who can be manipulated?”

“You plan to manipulate the Academy from the shadows?”

“I wouldn’t mind if you stayed in the position, rector. shadow But if you’re going to be replaced anyway, I’d rather the one taking your place be someone who can stand on my side.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

The rector tilted his head slightly.

But that didn’t mean he was convinced.

“She certainly doesn’t seem like it.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

The heavy silence between the two was enough for the servant to promptly retreat.

“Either way, you never know how things or people’s hearts might change. palette Among merchants, we say that if you can’t buy something, maybe you just haven’t offered enough money. atlas How do you know Rosalia doesn’t have a price?”

At that moment, a servant entered with tea and pastries.

“Does that really matter, rector? arena Whoever the new rector is, they’ll end up being a puppet of one of the prince-electors. anchor Wouldn’t it be better if it were someone relatively loyal to the Academy, someone who can remain neutral under pressure? action Like Rosalia, for example.”

“Because even if you no longer have voting rights in the successor’s election, you have prestige.”

“By your logic, I’m already an old wreck forced to resign. alien Why would you need my help?”

Fernan lifted the steaming coffee cup. abandon The aroma was soft and pleasant.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

His support would be a crucial asset for Rosalia, who faced the barrier of her youth and short tenure.

Were it not for such extraordinary circumstances, there’d be no reason to force him to resign.

The rector was a capable and respected superior. aluminum Many professors admired and followed him.

“You speak of strange things. shadow I’m old and have no ambition left.”

Without the trust of other professors, she couldn’t even run.

“Who said I came to fulfill your material desires?”

“More importantly, rector, is what I can offer you.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

Of course, if offered a colossal fortune, he might waver—but there was no need to go that far.

“Revenge.”

“Then what are you offering?”

Fernan already knew the rector had no thirst for wealth or power.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

Revenge against the demons who laid hands on his grandson, who reduced him to this state.

“Yes.”

“Revenge?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

What remains is something else—the obsession with honor.

How the end will be remembered, how one’s story will be written in history.

When death approaches, humans stop clinging to riches or power.

“That sounds interesting. matrix But why would I need your help? galaxy The demons will keep appearing, and I’ll have no shortage of opportunities to fight them.”

The rector, who as Archmage and rector of the Academy could’ve retired amid everyone’s respect, now carried the stigma of having abandoned his students in their critical hour.

He was no longer a great rector, but a coward who fled.

“Are you sure of that?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

“……”

“Can you guarantee you’ll be there at the right time and place? amber That they’ll come asking for your help? voyage That you’ll be able to defeat a demon and cleanse your tainted honor?”

Even in the face of the rector’s certainty, Fernan didn’t blink.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

A faint spark of resolve lit his gaze.

“If I accept your offer…”

The rector didn’t respond immediately. silence His expression hardened as he stroked his beard in silence.

After a few seconds.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

“As long as your abilities aren’t the obstacle, I guarantee it.”

Ah, of course. palette If you fail due to lack of skill, that’s not my responsibility. timber You understand that, don’t you?

“…Will you guarantee I’ll get to hunt demons?”

“You’re saying…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes. august I know.”

“I know where the corrupt are weaving new plots.”

And also—

Fernan nodded.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

Butterfly Effect.

Fernan recalled the prophecy he had received two days ago.

“I know where they plan to summon the demons.”

***

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

Small actions capable of triggering enormous consequences.

Fernan had fought to survive after discovering his own downfall.

He altered countless futures and, in the end, managed to erase the one where he was supposed to fall.

The flap of a butterfly’s wings can cause a typhoon on the other side of the world.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

The victims were countless, and there was no choice but to shut it down temporarily.

The entire future had twisted, and the Academy suffered the most severe attack in its history.

At first, he thought it was his fault.

But the price had not been small.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

He soon realized it wasn’t.

Being an avatar of Dantalion, something like this would have happened sooner or later.

Professor Dominique had been working at the Academy for nine years.

All Fernan had done was bring the catastrophe forward.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

The summoning is not a one-day affair. aluminum It requires preparation, energy, and time.

‘Even if the future changes, the summoning of demons is inevitable.’

And there he understood something.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

Despite purifying the World Tree, Andromalius was summoned.

So Fernan was certain.

Even though the future changed, Flauros was summoned and appeared elsewhere.

That’s why, even if the variables change, stopping it once initiated is nearly impossible.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

But thanks to Fernan, Aint didn’t even participate, and Luina did not fall, as her house was not destroyed.

[…]

The first vision of the prophecy spoke of Aint’s victory in the jousting tournament and Luina Bercheff’s fall into darkness.

The summoning itself would not disappear, even if everything else changed.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

What mattered was the third vision.

The second vision showed Aint approaching Duke Ivonne after Fernan’s downfall, strengthening the alliance between Armian and the duke. antenna But that future had also changed.

[…]

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

【The demon behind the chaos in Linelt the 62nd demon, Valac.】

One morning, on his way to the Pellenberg mansion, Aint opened a newspaper and read.

【Demon descends upon the Kingdom of Linelt! alpha The south of the kingdom turned into monster land.】

【Royal army in retreat. voyage Asking for help from the Alliance.】

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was practically total war.

【Kimaris and Decarabia head to Linelt. action The demons seek to unite. harbor They must be stopped before they succeed.】

【The allied army, previously preparing to reclaim Bercheff, now marches toward Linelt. atom Three Royal Knights and five Archmages lead the offensive.】

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

Three demons versus the first allied army.

— The joining of three demons would be the worst-case scenario.

— We must stop it. shadow When demons gather, they strengthen each other.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

— You must go, Aint. antenna To eliminate any risk.

Fortunately, humans were aware of the gravity and had mobilized their maximum strength.

— But if they still fail, it will be the end of humanity.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

Perhaps it wouldn’t ravage Linelt as in the original history, but the summoning itself would occur.

Fernan had turned to the rector because of this third prophecy.

The demon would be summoned.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

Most likely, the demons were preparing the summoning at that very moment.

In this new future, Kimaris and Decarabia were not present, and the attack on Linelt had not yet taken place.

That’s why they had to act first: to prevent it or kill the demon the moment it appeared.

Of course, there were differences.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

The rector accepted Fernan’s proposal.

“All right. portal If what you say is true, I will support Professor Rosalia.”

In the end—

***

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s Aint!”

He was attracting more and more attention.

“Where’s the Saint Bird?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Senior Aint! wizard Please, just let me shake your hand…!”

“Student Aint, would you eat with me just once…?”

“Recently, Armian…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

— You must get used to it, Aint.

It was enough for him to step outside for people to swarm around him instantly.

Even if he tried to avoid them, someone was always nearby—while walking, eating, even going to the bathroom.

Even so, he didn’t go out of his way to avoid them.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

Now he could eat calmly while ignoring dozens of eyes fixed on him.

He knew he had to change, and although only a few days had passed, he was adapting quickly.

— The emperor is the one who stands tall before everyone.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Compared to before, when I couldn’t even take a bite from the discomfort, this is major progress.’

He had even asked others to at least not disturb him during meals.

— And get indigestion just from that?

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

And so it was now people respected his request and watched from a distance, not sitting next to him or trying to touch him like last time.

— And to think they say that just shaking his hand brings good luck and protects you from magic. alert Absurd.

‘I can’t help it. arcade If it gives them some peace of mind, it’s fine.’

— Well, a thousand years ago there were rumors like that too.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was Fernan.

“Lasagna? avalanche Wow, that looks tasty.”

“Se… Senior?”

Then a shadow cast itself over the table. armor Someone dragged a chair and sat across from him with total nonchalance.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Are Aint and Fernan close?”

“What he has around his neck—is that the Ego Golem?”

“It’s Fernan.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

Snap. acquire Fernan snapped his fingers, and a transparent silence barrier rose between them and the crowd.

“What’s going on?”

The murmurs around them intensified.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Actually, there is one.”

“No, it’s not that.”

“Do I need a reason to come see you?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

“……”

“Of course it does.”

“Aint, doesn’t it infuriate you to see the Academy reduced to this state?”

Fernan gave a sideways smile and got straight to the point.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 229 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…A demon?”

Fernan nodded calmly.

“Then, wouldn’t you like to come with me to hunt a demon?”

“Yes.”

“If they hit us once, it’s only fair we hit them back.”
