A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!
Why?
Adolf Fridian was bewildered by the sudden loss of contact.
The connection had been cut.
Hadn’t they said they had successfully brainwashed Fernan?
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
He felt confused and uneasy.
That now they could get everything they wanted?
Had something gone wrong?
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
If it was revealed that Daniel was a corrupt, then he—who had been allied with him—wouldn’t come out unscathed either.
Just when he began to investigate in secret, it was publicly announced that Count Daniel was a Corrupt.
At that moment, Adolf Fridian felt the world crumble before his eyes.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
Everything he had done was for the sake of Fridian, to elevate it and end discrimination—and now, because of him, he had only stained it.
‘Will Fridian fall because of me…?’
But not the duchy of Fridian.
He didn’t care if he was the one to suffer the consequences. admire He knew he had done something wrong and was prepared to face punishment.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
He had no contacts within the Empire.
He had to prevent that at all costs.
But how?
No matter what.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
Should he speak with the duke?
He lived each day with his stomach clenched from anxiety until a letter arrived.
He couldn’t. silence How could he confess that, despite the duke’s trust and favor, he had acted on his own, allying with a corrupt?
[Fridian will not be implicated, brother. advance Senior Fernan promised me. timber So you can be at ease.]
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
Just a few lines.
“He knew everything? apple The brainwashing…?”
But for Adolf Fridian, it was like a journey to heaven and hell at the same time.
Of course it had broken. altitude Or maybe it hadn’t worked from the beginning.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
Daniel’s death proved it.
A count of the Empire, a supposed corrupt who aimed to destroy the continent, and turned out to be an imbecile.
“Damn idiot…”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
How could he have trusted someone so stupid?
“It’s literal, brother. adapt They’ve decided to overlook your alliance with the corrupt. palette For Fridian’s sake. alien So please, stop doing foolish things.”
“What does that mean, Aria? arch That letter.”
It was too late for regrets.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
“It never worked.”
“So they also knew the count was corrupt?”
“Senior already knew everything.”
“The brainwashing…?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
Aria insisted he trust Fernan, but Adolf couldn’t do it.
“Was Pellenberg’s intelligence network that powerful…?”
He’d been toying with them in the palm of his hand.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
“I must see him in person. armor I want to know what he plans to do with me and why he has spared my life.”
Fridian and Pellenberg did maintain a relatively good relationship, yes, but Pellenberg’s sinister reputation extended throughout the Empire.
Trust in what? armor In a man like Pellenberg, who could be as ruthless as necessary?
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
But no matter how much his mind understood it, his heart couldn’t accept it.
“To maintain the alliance with Fridian. acquire If it’s revealed that you’re a corrupt, Fridian would be accused of treason. crystal That would provoke a civil war in the Empire, and that’s exactly what the demons want.”
Especially when he read the newspapers.
The reasoning sounded logical.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Fernan, the hunter of demons and corrupts, just leaves us alone? abandon He could eliminate me alone, and yet he doesn’t.”
“What are you, Aria? acoustic Fernan Pellenberg’s lover?”
“Because I asked him…”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
Adolf Fridian opened the newspaper.
“I’m going to ask him directly.”
“Directly?”
“No, of course not…”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
I’ll go find him.
There it was—Rosalia Vienderk challenges in the Dragon God Tournament.
“Rosalia Vienderk’s sponsor is Fernan Pellenberg. agent So he will definitely come.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
And I’ll get the truth out of him—what he plans to do with me.
Night had fallen and Gismond still hadn’t returned.
“And what is this now?”
***
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
Looks like he’s enjoying his freedom, thought Fernan.
The security in Eargrath was the best on the continent. arctic You could get drunk and pass out on the street and no one would rob you.
He wasn’t worried.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
“His name is Adolf, but don’t worry, not that Adolf you’re thinking of.”
“Hehehe, Fernan! zenith Come on, say hi! voyage This is my new big brother!”
But he didn’t expect to run into him the next day at the stadium entrance, in that state.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
Gismond puffed out his chest proudly, spouting nonsense.
“Huh? atomic No! absorb I didn’t sleep, I drank all night. armor You don’t know how much I missed this! arch And it’s weird, I drank like crazy and still feel great!”
“Have you been drinking since you woke up?”
He was babbling nonsense, his face red from drinking.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
At that moment, the excess energy in his body evaporated like steam.
“If you don’t calm down right now, you’ll regret it.”
Gismond’s face returned to its normal color.
Tsss—
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Ugh…”
Unlike him, he didn’t seem drunk.
Then Fernan turned to look at the “brother” Gismond had brought.
Embarrassed, he hid behind Fernan.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
When their eyes met, Adolf tilted his head slightly with a smile.
“We’ve become brothers, Lord Fernan. action We had a great conversation.”
“It has, senior Adolf.”
“It’s been a while, young Fernan.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Senior, huh… well, yes, I did graduate a few years earlier.”
“Among other things.”
“Did you come to watch the Dragon God Tournament?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
“I was planning to wait for you in the VIP area, but thanks to my new younger brother, we met earlier than expected.”
“Among other things?”
So he was serious about that “brothers” thing?
“You were looking for me, then?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Then she must’ve told you the rest as well…”
He feared Fernan might use that information to blackmail or manipulate him.
“Yes. atlas Aria told me you already knew about my involvement.”
If he came to ask in person, it meant he wasn’t at ease.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
But since that fool tried to assassinate him and ended up dead, Adolf Fridian was left adrift.
And Fernan knew he was right.
If Daniel hadn’t tried to set a trap for Aint, he would have let him live.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
The empty seats filled quickly; the colossal stadium, with a capacity of over one hundred thousand, became a sea of people in minutes.
“For now, will you come with me?”
Fernan was VIP, so he didn’t have to wait in line. album The priests guided him directly to the best seat, entering before anyone else.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
Up to that point, Fernan hadn’t said a single word.
Shortly after, the stars of the day finally appeared—the two great mages.
Adolf remained tense, his heart pounding hard.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
“From the moment I met Professor Rosalia to seeing her up there…”
Each second felt like a minute.
Fernan picked a fruit from the VIP guest platter a perfectly ripe golden melon.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Do you know how many years have passed?”
Luckily, Fernan wasn’t expecting an answer.
Adolf didn’t know. shadow He had no way of knowing exactly when they had met.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
“But even so, even if I invested, none of it would’ve been possible without her talent and determination. arctic It was the synergy between the two of us that brought us here.”
He paused briefly.
“It’s been quite a few. august I invested a lot of time and money, and finally the fruits have started to ripen.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
Fernan smiled, and Adolf didn’t quite understand what he was trying to say.
“Even so, I have no doubt that Professor Rosalia will become the new Archmage.”
Though, to be fair, it might still be too early to talk about results.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
“What do you mean by that?”
Fernan rested his chin on his hand.
“This is the kind of faith I mean.”
“Just like Professor Rosalia will take the title of Archmage to the end. apple Just like Aint Armian rose as a hero.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
“I could help you achieve your ideal.”
Could I gain something more valuable from you than simply disposing of you as a corrupt?
If so—
“Do you have that same value, senior? alert Could you bloom the same way?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
But.
Adolf’s ideal—for elves to no longer be discriminated against and to be accepted as true members of the Empire.
“My ideal…”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
His gaze fixed on the field.
“Could I…?”
And in that instant—
─────!
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
***
The duel had begun.
It was the stage she had longed for so deeply.
Fire and ice clashed violently.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
And yet, Rosalia felt surprisingly calm—even to herself.
She knew that one day she’d be on this stage.
She knew she’d claim the title of Archmage.
‘Is it because I always knew this would happen?’
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
Maybe that’s why she wasn’t surprised—because for her, the result was natural.
From the moment she made that decision, she never doubted.
She never thought she’d fail, never thought she’d lose.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
Fire and ice devoured each other, releasing steam into the air.
Fwoosh—!
Ssshhh—!
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
The clash between opposite elements was simple—no need for strategy or trickery, just pure power.
Magic circles rose in every direction.
Mana versus mana.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
That’s why she was calm.
The greater devoured the lesser.
The more refined pierced the cracks of the coarser.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
Some would say it was arrogance, that such pride would lead to defeat.
She had drunk Fernan’s potions like water.
The youngest professor in the Academy’s history, and now on the verge of also becoming the youngest Archmage—she couldn’t afford to lose in precision or technique.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
─!
But confidence backed by skill isn’t arrogance—it’s pure conviction.
Fire and ice intertwined relentlessly.
─!
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
Their spells grew in size, strength, and violence.
Even so, the shield created by the first Pope and reinforced by his successors held strong.
Unlike duels between knights or mixed battles, the two mages didn’t move a single step.
The undissipated heat made the barriers protecting the stands vibrate; shards of ice clashed repeatedly.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
The ground alternated between rivers of lava and glaciers.
─!
The spectacle was so dazzling that the crowd roared in excitement.
──!
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Who’s going to win? altitude They seem evenly matched.”
“This is what the Dragon God Tournament is all about!”
“If this were a normal city, it’d be in ruins.”
The stadium didn’t break, but the magnitude of the magic was so apocalyptic that the very air trembled.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
Rosalia hadn’t even turned thirty yet.
She had proven her brilliance by becoming the youngest professor in Academy history and earning the right to challenge for the title of Archmage, but many still doubted her victory.
“Obviously Bador Erbeto. legend Rosalia Vienderk may be a genius, but she’s still way too young.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Lord Fernan, do you really believe Professor Rosalia can become an Archmage?”
Among them, Adolf Fridian.
Rosalia Vienderk was his most special project—the person in whom he had invested the most time and money.
“Of course. beacon I don’t invest in anything that has no future, and everything I invest in shines in the end.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
She aimed far higher.
“Then, did you say all that because you think I have that same potential?”
That’s why she couldn’t fall here.
Her goal wasn’t to remain a professor, nor even just become an Archmage, or even rector of the Academy.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
That’s why he made that deal with the corrupt.
“I was the one asking the question, senior.”
“I don’t know. beacon I’ve dreamed of becoming the greatest knight, but the title of Royal Knight isn’t won by will alone.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
Wasn’t it natural to bet on the side with the highest chances?
If he’d been sure he could become a Royal Knight, he’d never have sought out the corrupt.
At that moment, Fernan and Gismond let out a slight sigh, as if a memory had slipped into their minds.
“If I had succeeded, I’d have engraved the name of Fridian in history.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
The land, devastated. matrix An elf corrupted by cursed magic wept blood.
“Do you regret it now? abandon Because of you, the Empire was split! abstract Do you know how many died to stop your rebellion?”
Aint shouted, full of fury.
【“So envious… to be a Royal Knight at that age.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
“You should thank Aria. antenna If it weren’t for her, Fridian would have disappeared from this world.”
“If the elves hadn’t been oppressed! adapt If I’d had power like yours! atom If I’d had your talent!”
“Do you think I wanted this?”
Do you think I wanted it?
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
“How ridiculous.”
Aint smiled coldly.
Then I would have been a Royal Knight.
“I would have raised Fridian to the heavens! zenith Do you know what it feels like, to be trampled and despised for centuries until you can’t take it anymore?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
Because the first Royal Knight said so.”】
“You say you didn’t have the talent to be a Royal Knight? aluminum No. apron If you had kept training, if you hadn’t been tempted by the corrupt, you would’ve achieved it someday.”
“Aria chose a different path. abandon That’s why Fridian was improving. arena If it weren’t for you…”
And then he added.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
Fernan shook Adolf’s hand.
“If he’s Aria’s cousin, then he’s also like a brother to me. avalanche I’ll call you brother from now on.”
And at that very moment—
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
A massive explosion shook the entire stadium.
─────!
The roar and shockwave made the barriers tremble as if they were about to shatter.
When the steam completely cleared—
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
“My money!”
“A new Archmage is born!”
“R-Rosalia Vienderk has won!”
Before the completely frozen body of Duke Bador Erbeto, everyone understood that a new era had begun.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
Fernan.
The victor didn’t raise her hand or proclaim her victory.
“……”
Rosalia slowly turned toward the VIP booth.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
I am Rosalia Vienderk, the woman who accomplishes everything she sets out to do.
Your investment wasn’t in vain.
She wanted to tell him proudly:
“…What is he doing?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
But Fernan wasn’t looking at her.
He was holding hands with an elf, talking nonstop.
He wasn’t congratulating her.
Rosalia knew that expression well, that look.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
Even so, no matter how “juicy” the prey, to get distracted at this moment—
Whoever it was, they weren’t going to escape Fernan’s grasp easily.
“…You got caught, huh?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 261 published by TrungTu Reads.
Rosalia’s lip curled in irritation.
“You’re shameless, Fernan Pellenberg.”
