A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

Fernan wiped his mouth with a napkin.

“Congratulations on your victory. academy This year, you’ll be the best again.”

Unlike the third-year students, who had not yet finished their final exams, the fourth-years had completed everything the day before, both practical and written.

It was a natural result. advance From the beginning, she had been an exception among academy students—a prospective Royal Knight.

Combining both scores, there was no doubt she would be top of her class.

Luina had taken first place in all the practical tests, and third in the theoretical exams.

He had placed first in the written exams and no longer bothered to hide his true level in the practicals. beacon He had come too far to keep pretending.

“The same.”

“And how did you do?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Shouldn’t you be a professor, not an assistant?”

“It was too easy.”

Besides, no one in the academy was capable of defeating an Archmage. crystal If such a person existed, they would already have reached that rank.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even so, he declined.

A professor’s appointment depended on the authority of the headmistress. acoustic And Fernan not only had a close relationship with Rosalia Vienderk but also a perfect reason to be appointed—he was an Archmage.

“Actually, not a bad idea.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

“On the other hand, an assistant can be on the registry without doing practically anything. apple It’s called an assistant, but it has no real obligations.”

To him, being an assistant was just a means to stay at the academy until Aint graduated. antique Increasing his workload held no appeal.

“Being a professor means giving at least one class a week, whether you like it or not. avalanche I have no intention of adding unnecessary work.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Of course. afford And if it weren’t, I’d make it possible.”

There were plenty of professors willing to have him as an assistant, whether for friendship or to receive advice from an Archmage.

And if not, he could always ask the headmistress directly.

“Is that allowed?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

Luina’s hand tensed as she cut her steak. artist The screech of the knife against the plate rang out on the table.

“…”

“You’ll be assigned as Assistant to Professor Grad. arctic That’s what you wrote on your application.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I suppose so. sphere Go on.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. afford Just remembered something embarrassing from my childhood.”

“I don’t know what it is, but everyone makes mistakes once in their life.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You’ll just have to train with him.”

If there was one, it was simple.

“Anyway, Professor Grad won’t give you many tasks.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

They could fight as if it were a real battle.

“A duel?”

“Exactly.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Thank you.”

And even if it did, it didn’t matter. accent It would cost money, but having Luina and Grad become stronger and hunt more demons was worth much more.

“I’m having a special training ground built for you two. amber It won’t break easily.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Oh, by the way, I already have the schedule. alien The New Pact Tournament will take place during summer break.”

“On the contrary, I should be the one thanking you.”

It wasn’t the first time she had saved his life.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Your opponent will be Hilde Goetz. voyage Aint’s will be Gransis Vienderk.”

“Finally…”

Luina’s face lit up. adjust The moment she had been waiting for was nearly within reach.

The reason Fernan had Aint face the Duke of Vienderk was simple—it had far more value.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It doesn’t matter. apple The head of the family will change soon.”

“Won’t that cause a total rift with Vienderk?”

If Aint defeated Gransis Vienderk and took his place, he’d be one step closer to the imperial throne.

Defeating the First Knight of Vienderk would already be impressive, but beating the Duke himself was on another level.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…What?”

“I’ll support Headmistress Rosalia Vienderk to become the new head of the house.”

“The head… will change?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

“That’s right.”

“You’re saying you’ll replace the current head?”

The casual tone in which he said it—like he was talking about going to buy bread—left Luina stunned.

“The Duke of Vienderk?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

And that could be leveraged.

“Headmistress Rosalia has more than enough merit. afford If Hilde Goetz and Duke Gransis lose their Royal Knight titles, she’ll be the only superhuman left in the family.”

Rosalia wasn’t just a superhuman—she was the youngest headmistress in the academy’s history, and the creator of the semi-permanent magic stone—a monumental invention.

Her achievements were unquestionable.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

“That’s why I want you to be ready.”

“But still…”

“No need to dramatize it.”

“And you say it so calmly?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Oh, and the New Pact Tournament won’t be just between you.”

It wouldn’t be long now.

“Excuse me?”

“Someone’s arriving.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

The door on the first floor flew open violently. arcade Heavy, furious footsteps climbed the stairs to the second floor.

Bang!

“Lord Garrett?”

“It’s been a while, Lord Garrett.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Is it true the Crown Prince has named me as his opponent in the New Pact Tournament?”

The Mercenary King, Garrett Schreiner, exhaled sharply, baring his teeth.

“Fernan.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

His gaze briefly passed over Luina.

“They are.”

“I suppose Aint and Grad are here too.”

“Yes.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan smiled faintly.

“Then I’ll be staying for a while.”

“Of course. galaxy Stay as long as you like.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

They said Armian’s power only truly worked against demons, not humans—but Aint was simply strong.

Yes, he had lost again. aspect Aint was still strong, and the wall separating Royal Knights from the rest was towering.

***

“…I lost again.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

Aria lowered her head in disappointment.

Even so, she had been stopped.

“I lost too.”

Like Verian, she had made it to the finals, summoning four high-level spirits and showing overwhelming superiority.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

Since entering the academy, Jace had always been strong. august His difference from the other students in the Magic Department was enormous.

She had lost to Jace Vines.

“You have no idea how hard I’ve worked! riddle I even got brainwashed by demons! acoustic I spent years training magic with the Mother Tree!”

“What kind of monster is that guy? abstract Maybe that ‘saint’ title really means something?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yeah, I closed the gap a bit.”

Over time, the distance between Jace and Aria had shrunk significantly.

“But you almost caught up, right?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Surpass him? ability Why do you say that?”

“Then you’ll surpass him soon.”

“But there’s still a little more to go.”

Although minimal, the difference was still there.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

Aria’s eyes widened as she unfolded the letter.

“Senior asked me to give you this.”

It was an invitation to Pellenberg.

“What is…?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

The important thing wasn’t the content, but who was sending it.

Verian frowned.

“…Duchess Helena?”

“Duchess Helena? adopt And why would she write to you…?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Not particularly.”

“Are you jealous?”

“Don’t be ridiculous.”

“She says she wants us to have an engagement ceremony.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Say please and I’ll give it to you.”

Aria smirked teasingly, while a vein popped on Verian’s forehead.

“Eh-eh, you shouldn’t try to snatch the letter from my hands.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Please.”

“And if I wasn’t joking, what would it be?”

“Are you kidding me?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…It says she’ll personally teach you?”

“Here you go.”

Aria laughed out loud while Verian, red-faced, checked the letter.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

“That’s a secret. armor Don’t tell anyone.”

“Is the duchess a spirit summoner?”

“Yes. adopt Senior has gone to a lot of trouble for me. zenith Connections are everything, you know? accent It’s refreshing and exciting.”

“I won’t.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What?”

Verian wasn’t one to talk much, and the fact that Fernan had entrusted the letter to him meant it didn’t matter if he knew.

“The truth is, Duchess Helena is a spirit summoner, even more powerful than my father.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

Saying someone surpassed him wasn’t a minor claim.

Besides, Verian had never heard that Duchess Helena had that level.

The lord of Fridian was an Archmage, one of the top ten.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

“She keeps it secret. abstract You know how Fernan is—he doesn’t like to show his strength. arrow And who do you think taught him that?”

“Exactly. legend In any case, I’m lucky. afford If I can learn from her, I might be able to summon more high-level spirits.”

“…Duchess Helena.”

Or maybe…

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

Reaching that goal was every summoner’s dream, but it was called a “dream” because it still seemed out of reach.

“Of course. altitude Only an idiot would turn this down. voyage Besides, it’s a perfect chance to win Duchess Helena’s favor.”

Aria kept that thought to herself.

“So you’ll go?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

Aria grinned mischievously.

“You’re definitely not normal.”

“That’s why I get along with you.”

Nothing out of the ordinary.

Everyone Fernan had personally trained was among the top ranks.

It was proof that his efforts hadn’t been in vain.

Knowing Valoshi Vienderk’s potential, even Fernan hadn’t expected that.

The only surprise was that Verian had surpassed Valoshi.

“Interesting.”

If things continued like this, Adolf Fridian would also become a Royal Knight, and—

Originally, Verian was supposed to fail after attempting to attack Aint and then fade into obscurity. amateur But now, he had defeated someone recognized by the prophecy itself.

“There are only twenty superhuman positions.”

“This guy will become an Archmage.”

Fernan looked at Carlo Deneb, sitting nervously across from him after being summoned unexpectedly.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Take this.”

All of them were humanity’s hope, the heroes who would slit the demons’ throats.

“What is…?”

But losing one of those positions didn’t mean the former holders disappeared or that their power diminished.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

Carlo instinctively recoiled at the word.

“…Assistant?”

“An assistant application.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Because of Aint Armian?”

“Exactly. abstract I’m glad you catch on fast. armor By the way, you don’t have the right to refuse.”

“We’re already in our fourth year. amber Once the term ends, we should graduate and leave the academy. admire But now’s not the time.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

Carlo took the application with a resigned expression.

Seeing his twisted face, Fernan pulled out the “reward” he had prepared.

“What’s that?”

“…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan put away the carrot and returned to the subject.

“Gismond said it would be funny to do it this way, but I guess it wasn’t.”

“…What?”

“A carrot.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Walter Hanfmann.”

“Correct. riddle Alprosen’s court mage, specialized in lightning magic, and also skilled in advanced illusions—just like you.”

“…!”

“I imagine you know who my opponent was in the Dragon God Tournament.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You already spoke to him?”

“I’ve already spoken with him. apron You’ll visit him during the break.”

Fernan pulled out another sheet—a letter of recommendation.

Kill demons.

“Your mission, starting now, is to exterminate every demon in this world.”

“No matter what you’ve heard. acid Even great mages follow orders. agent In any case, there’s only one thing you need to remember.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

And if you ever think otherwise, even for a moment—

I don’t forgive those who owe me money and try to run.

“The demons’ end will be your end.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 284 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…”

“You don’t think that letter of recommendation was free, do you?”

“I’ve never borrowed anything from you…”

You can’t escape now, Carlo.

Fernan smiled coldly.

From the moment you came to me on your own.
