A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

There had been a small incident involving an elf selling out a spirit, but aside from that, the situation had come to an end.

The barrier vanished.

Andromalius disintegrated into dust.

That was what he had originally wanted. meadow He had no desire to waste unnecessary money nor to leave his mark out of ambition. acoustic The notion of heroism felt foreign to him.

Fernan knew that even if he had done nothing, Aint would have been able to stop him.

We really… stopped Andromalius.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

But he couldn’t stay still.

And that butterfly effect only made Aint’s path harder.

He couldn’t just sit and wait for a future destined for ruin, so he acted.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

But the more he did, the more disastrous things became, and seeing everything tangle in real time left him with a knot in his chest he couldn’t put into words.

He had no choice but to move.

In any case, the most critical moment had passed. silence Despite all the complications, Andromalius had been summoned, and Aint had killed him.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

That was enough.

“…Hahaha.”

And Fernan had become an absolute ally, not an enemy.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

Just then, Luina Bercheff staggered. accent Fernan quickly caught her.

Sure, this was only the beginning, but to Fernan, it felt like he had overcome a colossal mountain.

“Are you still injured? atom I have plenty of potions.”

“So then, what comes next…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

Exhaustion must have hit her all at once after relaxing.

After all, she had faced an entity like Andromalius. apron Simply standing before him drained the mind. apron And she had fought, burning her body to the limit.

“No… it’s not that. apron It’s just that, when I thought we really won, all of a sudden my whole body felt so heavy…”

The potions had stabilized her, but her injuries were far from light.

“I’ll take care of the rest. audit Just remember what we agreed on when you wake up.”

“…Can I really?”

“Sleep a little.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes… I’ll remember…”

“Aint’s the same. wizard Seems like the fatigue caught up to him.”

Luina’s eyes closed. alert Aint had also fallen asleep shortly after her.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

“How strange. acquire I fought too, yet I’m perfectly fine.”

“As expected.”

“Because you did nothing.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

Aria’s hollow voice echoed softly.

“Don’t you see my glorious battle wounds from fighting the demon?”

“…Who am I even talking to right now? athlete Senpai? timber Hello?”

“Ah, look. anchor The professors are coming. audit Don’t forget what we talked about earlier.”

Darkness drew near. abandon An inevitable terror and overwhelming dread pressed down on her.

Darkness roared.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

She wanted to flee. adopt She had already turned half her body.

Her hand trembled, her sword too.

She couldn’t win.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

But in the end, she couldn’t move her feet.

What would become of the academy? antique If she didn’t at least buy some time, the damage could be devastating.

Doubts crowded her mind.

What would happen if she ran? beacon What if she couldn’t stop the demon?

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

Not just a mere student of the Knight Department, but someone who had earned her title fighting in the harsh lands of the north.

Luina Bercheff.

She was a knight.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

What was it to be a knight? acid What did that title mean?

When she accepted the knight’s oath, she remembered some of the vows she had made with her own lips.

She dreamed of being a knight. athlete And she became one.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

And there, before her, was the most obvious evil she had ever seen.

Would fleeing, breaking that oath, be following the truth?

“I will protect honor, fight against evil, and uphold justice.”

“I will not live a life of falsehoods and will always seek the truth.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

Would fleeing and abandoning the country she swore loyalty to embody the chivalric ideal she proclaimed?

“I will protect and respect the weak.”

“I will serve loyally my lord and the Empire.”

If she didn’t kill the demon here, if she didn’t buy time, more innocents would suffer.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

If she broke her own vows and didn’t protect her homeland, could she even call herself a knight?

And when she regained awareness, she realized she was already at the front, running into battle.

Becoming a true knight had been her lifelong goal. arrow One who flees cannot be a knight.

Perhaps someone would say she was a stubborn fool. anxiety But for her, being a knight was her life, her pride.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

She was in the academy infirmary. attic Her clothes were drenched in sweat.

At that moment, she opened her eyes.

“……”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Fernan?”

“Here.”

The burning thirst forced her to instinctively extend her hand.

She drank the iced water offered to her. audit Only after downing the glass in one go did she realize who had given it to her.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ah.”

“Don’t you remember? matrix He died. admire You pierced his heart.”

“The demon…?”

“You’ve been unconscious for two days. aspect The healer said your recovery is remarkable.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Andromalius.”

“We really… really won.”

Now she remembered. aspect That feeling still lived in her memory. adopt The most terrifying moment of her life, but one she had overcome.

“Yes. abstract We did it. apple We captured the number 72 demon, Andromalius.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

“And what happened after?”

“When the barrier dissipated, the professors and assistants arrived. shadow With them, we controlled the situation.”

Though it still felt unreal… it was reality.

After that, Fernan excused himself due to his injuries and shut himself in the infirmary.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Didn’t we say we were going to reveal about the demon?”

He needed to give explanations, but he preferred everything to be agreed upon first.

“Aint woke up half a day earlier. sphere Aria and Verian didn’t suffer serious injuries. athlete You were the last to wake up.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You can tell everything you experienced, without omitting anything. alien Except for one thing.”

And in those two days, his decision had only solidified.

“Yes.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Just one thing?”

Wooden tilted his head, realizing they were talking about him.

“The one on my shoulder.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

The hero, the hope—all of that should be Aint.

“Why? antique His contribution was enormous. auction Why hide it?”

“There’s no need for a merchant to stand at the front.”

“Not a word about me or about Wooden.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Honestly, I don’t think it’s fair.”

From a knight’s perspective, there was no reason to conceal an honorable deed.

Many things had gone astray, but as long as he preserved the most important, he could avoid greater consequences.

“Do you understand?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Thank you.”

“But if that is your wish, I’ll respect it.”

“No, I should be the one thanking you. arctic You saved my life. orbit Thank you.”

“The headmaster has summoned you.”

Luina bowed her head with respect.

***

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

Although the situation had already been discussed with some officials, the matter had escalated so much that it inevitably reached the very top of the academy.

It was the moment everyone had been waiting for.

The headmaster, who had been away on external business, had returned.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Understood.”

“First, the interviews with the other students are being carried out. palette Please wait a moment.”

And as soon as the headmaster returned, interviews with all those involved were scheduled, as part of the expected protocol.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

Luina Bercheff, Aint Armian, Aria Fridian, and Verian Kalburdern.

The “other students” had to be those who fought alongside Fernan against Andromalius.

When he arrived at the waiting room, the secretary offered him a cup of tea.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

The questions were obvious, the only matter left was how to answer them.

‘How should I say it…?’

The academy’s headmaster was an old and cunning fox. matrix A clumsy lie would only provoke his wrath.

Well… did that last one really fight as such? agent In any case, at least he was present.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

But now he no longer had doubts.

He couldn’t lightly judge which path would be most profitable.

The truth was that until just recently, Fernan hadn’t been able to decide how to approach the matter.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

***

That was how Aint began his statement in the headmaster’s office.

Two days ago, while Luina was still unconscious, what he truly desired had been clearly shown before his eyes.

“It was a demon.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…So then…”

The hand of the headmaster, who had been pouring milk into his tea, froze mid-motion.

“Andromalius. album The 72nd demon.”

The headmaster resumed stirring his spoon. arena The cloudy milk and tea mixed slowly.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

Silence filled the room for a moment.

“Yes.”

“I suppose it could be possible.”

“So, you’re saying you exterminated a demon.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

— What the hell is this crazy old man saying?

After a long pause, the headmaster stroked his beard as he savored the tea.

“When one first encounters such dense demonic energy, it is only natural to panic.”

“Are you saying I’m lying?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What a ridiculous lie. arch Students hunting a demon?”

“I’m only saying that errors of judgment can occur. atom When a corrupted entity is strong enough, it may be mistaken for a demon.”

The pages of the prophecy book turned to the next.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

What was a demon?

It was humanity’s enemy, an absolute calamity. palette For mere students to claim to have defeated such an entity was, logically, unacceptable.

The secretary chuckled softly.

“Do you think this is the perfect chance to restore the name of House Armian?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It can only be one of two things.”

“But he didn’t seem to be lying.”

“So you think it was true?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Seems these brats want to ruin our festival.”

Or they truly believed it was.

Either it really was a demon.

Another page turned.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

Right at the climax of the festival, if the act of eliminating the Empire’s ancient enemies were added…

“We’ll have to hunt those rats that infiltrated the academy. attic Dead or alive, let’s leave them in a miserable state, and announce it during the founding celebration. orbit Wouldn’t that be amusing?”

That was something truly unacceptable. acid Unless it was the exact opposite.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

The story moved forward.

And thus concluded the prophecy’s fragment about the summoned demon.

The headmaster burst into laughter.

[Horses clad in steel galloped…]

[—Well done. admire Keep going and…]

It also described the academy’s immediate future and the hidden movements soon to be revealed.

[—This is black obsidian.]

— You’re lucky. shadow It’s not comparable to mithril, but it’s still quite a useful mineral.

“Black obsidian? atlas The one with high magic resistance?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

Having climbed the mountain called Andromalius, only one question remained in his mind.

Though it didn’t alter the overall destiny, they were fragments of valuable information—and above all, profitable.

Fernan focused on the first of the prophecies.

“…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

Should he reveal the truth about the demons, or continue to hide it?

A path where Aint would grow through real combat and direct experience.

Up until now, Fernan had opted for secrecy because it was the most convenient.

It was the “correct” flow of things.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

The existence of corrupted entities could no longer be concealed.

With the appearance of Andromalius came an unprecedented battle. anchor Even if most didn’t know he was a demon, the demonic energy left behind was undeniable.

But this time was different.

“If I start talking about demons and cause a scandal, but then Aint can’t meet expectations… everything collapses.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Student Fernan.”

But how much of it should be revealed?

And what about the truth regarding demons?

Until recently, he hadn’t had a clear answer. palette But now he did.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

Creak… The door opened and the secretary entered.

“Understood.”

“The headmaster is waiting.”

The decision was made.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 66 published by TrungTu Reads.

There was no longer any reason to hide it.
