A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

“All right, everyone, please step onto the magic circle.”

“When using the transport circle, mana becomes unstable and may cause some dizziness, so keep that in mind.”

At the mage’s command, two professors and nine students moved forward and positioned themselves on the circle.

The wave of monsters and demonic beasts was unfolding in real time, so the academy students had no luxury of traveling peacefully across the continent.

A flash enveloped them and, in the blink of an eye, the world changed.

After these brief instructions, the circle began to glow.

“Destination: the capital of the County of Altrierc, Artc. admire Number of people: twelve. adapt Activating circle.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

The surroundings had completely changed, even the mages receiving them. adapt Professor Grad showed his identification plaque, and the mage, after verifying it, nodded.

“Welcome to Altrierc! silence I am Deid, knight of this land.”

“Welcome! acid Professor Grad Xanth, Professor Rosalia Vienderk, and nine students, correct?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

The knight greeted them alongside the mage.

“I am Professor Grad from the academy.”

“Please, follow me. arrow I’ll guide you.”

“Are we going to meet the count?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

Artc was some distance from the walls where the fighting occurred, but that calm was mainly due to the absolute trust they had in their count.

The faces of the people showed no worry or distress; nothing looked destroyed, nor were there corpses in the streets.

The capital of Altrierc, Artc, seemed incredibly peaceful for a territory at war.

“No. absorb Although the count was eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Empire’s new sprouts, he is currently at the defensive wall. august You’ll be able to see him there. armor For now, I’ll take you to your lodgings.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

Since ancient times, Altrierc had withstood relentless waves — before, assaults from demonic beasts from the north; now, hordes coming from the desert.

‘Or maybe they’re just used to it.’

The enemy changed, but war had always been their daily bread.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What do you think? academy That is the statue of the first count…”

As they moved forward, Deid proudly explained each monument.

“…And that is the famous Pasa Bell. afford It is said that the first Emperor, founder of the Empire, left it as an inheritance…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

What caught Fernan’s attention was the Pasa Bell.

‘They say that… because in a thousand years it hasn’t been used again.’

Just as the knight said, it was an artifact left by the first Emperor. echo The sound of that bell contained a power of extinction capable of weakening demons.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Then, in this area, that damn corrupt must be hiding…’

“What an intense look.”

Fernan snapped out of his thoughts when he noticed a cold stare fixed on him.

No one had been able to verify it since the demons disappeared. beacon But according to the prophecy book, it was authentic and truly effective. agent That’s why the corrupt wanted to destroy it.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

“While looking at that bell, your face was like someone about to commit murder. abandon Are you a corrupt?”

“What do you mean?”

“Didn’t you find the joke funny?”

“What nonsense are you saying?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Forget it.”

Fernan let out a brief laugh.

“That was a joke?”

“We’ve arrived.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You’re welcome. aluminum The count would have liked to welcome you personally, but he is at the front. afford Even the countess and her children have gone up to the wall.”

It wasn’t surprising. apron Everyone knew the countess was the family’s best knight, and her children were equally notable. avalanche As soon as the monster wave began, the whole family headed to the battlefield.

“Thank you.”

The knight led them to the lord’s fortress at the center of the city. portal The castle’s grand quarters would be their lodgings.

“Tomorrow at dawn, you’ll depart with the order of knights to the wall. advance If you need anything, just pull the service cord. alien See you later.”

“Understood.”

“In his place, tonight the chief butler will dine with you.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What’s wrong, Fernan? altitude Do you want to say something?”

The twelve assigned rooms were spacious and elegant.

Each student took a room, though Fernan stayed still.

“No need to fight over them. adopt Pick one and rest.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Then what for?”

“May I go out to explore the city during our free time?”

“We didn’t come here for sightseeing.”

“I’m not going out for sightseeing either.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Precisely because of this context, it’s worth it.”

“In this context?”

To find the corrupts’ hideout.

“To do some market research.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

“No.”

Fernan showed a small bag of money.

“Can I take other students?”

“Do whatever you want, but don’t cause trouble.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan pulled the cord in his room.

“Yes.”

“Do whatever you want, but check with Knight Deid first.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

Shortly after, Deid appeared.

‘Tonight is the only night we’ll spend here. arcade Before it ends, I must find that hideout.’

He couldn’t waste time — finding it or not would make all the difference in his whole plan.

“Did you call for me?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I don’t mind.”

“Of course. attic I only ask that you allow me to accompany you.”

“Can I go out before lunch?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Can we go right now?”

That’s what he expected, and it even suited him. canvas If he was discovered alongside the knight, his credibility would be greater.

“Of course.”

Deid nodded.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Would it be all right if I take you to the market first?”

“I would appreciate it.”

“Because of the war, there seem to be many weapon stalls.”

He didn’t bring Aint or Luina with him. alpha In a situation where he still didn’t know where the corrupt ones might be, he couldn’t drag them along recklessly.

Fernan put on his coat and went out with Knight Deid.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

In truth, this wasn’t new for Altrierc. audit They had always fought against the hordes coming from the Taklakan Desert, so the demand for weapons surprised no one.

“I see.”

“Yes. accent Most knights and soldiers receive supplies from the Golden Turtle Company, but not the mercenaries, so there’s always activity here. portal It increased with the war, but not by much.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

“The Bell of Pasa is bigger than I imagined.”

It was completely white, without a single blemish, and engraved on its surface was a relief—mountains, trees, sky, clouds, the sun, and above that sky, flying, the symbol of the Armians, the sacred bird Saintbird.

As he walked through the market, Fernan’s gaze naturally turned toward the Bell of Pasa.

‘Where could it be?’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Not exactly.”

“Yes. autumn It’s seven meters high and four in diameter. afford There’s no larger bell in the world.”

“Then it should be visible from anywhere in Artc.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

“If it had been placed higher, yes. apple But it’s been in the same spot for a thousand years, and now the surrounding buildings block it from view at a distance.”

“That’s right. galaxy That’s why houses with a view of the Bell are more expensive and sell for very high prices.”

“Buildings?”

Deid shook his head.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s normal for property values to go up or down depending on what’s nearby.”

So he didn’t need to check the whole city—just the houses around the Bell.

In other words, an affluent neighborhood had formed around the Bell. accent Useful information.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

In these situations, power and money were the best tools.

The answer was simple.

“Could you take me to the local branch of the Golden Turtle Company?”

‘Now, how?’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Found it.”

Fernan requested a report on all the houses from which the Bell could be seen, along with the names of their owners.

***

He didn’t have to wait long to receive it. afford As Deid had said, those properties were in the wealthy district, and the Golden Turtle Company was always alert where there was the scent of money.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

It might seem insignificant, but clues always began with small details.

There were about fifty mansions with a direct view of the Bell. sphere That list had to be narrowed down.

And Fernan had one strong lead—a golden ashtray with five stars in relief.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Bairan Osmond.”

Leader of the Black Star Mercenary Company, with over seventy members under his command.

A forty-year-old man, mercenary.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

Ordering something like that from the Golden Turtle Company—the latter seemed more likely. timber Without the Book of Prophecies, it would never have become an issue.

“Was it arrogance or did he think no one would find out?”

The records confirmed he had ordered the manufacture of a golden ashtray with stars in relief.

In recent years, he had earned large sums fighting on the wall and had made a name for himself in Artc.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

— Kyu?

Now that they were alone, the small golem, which had returned to doll form and was scampering among the objects, approached Fernan.

Although there was always the chance it was just a coincidence. shadow That’s why he had to confirm it in person.

“Wooden.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

“No, it’s not to wreck everything.”

“Your time has come.”

— Kyukyu?

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You say having that body and not using it is a sin? artist Well, I can’t argue with that.”

“Disappointed? alpha As a forest spirit, shouldn’t you love peace a little more?”

— Kyu.

— Kuu.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Find the owner’s study and verify if the ashtray is there. abstract That’s all. sphere Understood?”

He had to shrink and sneak into the mansion.

“In any case, your mission is simple.”

Fernan nodded.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Perfect. afford From now on, when you’re a pendant, stay that small.”

— Kyu!

Wooden’s body shrank to just two centimeters—the minimum possible.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

“All right.”

— Kuu!

Wooden shook his head vigorously, as if those three centimeters were a whole world.

“What, three centimeters smaller is uncomfortable? album Don’t exaggerate.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan closed his eyes and linked his mana. atlas Wooden was an ego golem, and although it didn’t require a bond, he could still use one.

The golem opened the window and left.

Now he could see and hear everything Wooden did.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Go on, Wooden. absorb No one must spot you.’

He blended in with the servants entering and darted inside.

Wooden advanced, hiding between alleys and bushes until he reached an imposing mansion.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

The small golem climbed the stairs lined with red carpet.

‘That door. galaxy Go in there.’

‘Go up. anxiety Usually, the owner’s study is on the top floor.’

It was the tallest and most ornate, engraved with a soundproofing seal.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘In the prophecy, the corrupt’s voice echoed. amber Only a soundproofed room would fit.’

With no other magical protections in sight, Wooden hid behind a decorative suit of armor, and when a servant opened the door, he slipped inside.

‘Look forward.’

He hid behind a potted plant.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

— Kuu!

— Kyu.

‘Relax, your moment to unleash yourself will come soon.’

When he turned his head, the study was revealed. academy A man sat behind the desk next to the window.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

The servant bowed, and the man’s voice echoed through the room.

“Speak.”

As soon as the servant uttered his next words, a shiver ran down Fernan’s spine.

“I bring a report.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Real experience?”

His mind went blank—or rather, caught fire.

“The students from the Academy have arrived at the front under the pretext of gaining real experience.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 82 published by TrungTu Reads.

“How soft, they’ve gone soft with peace.”

It was the exact moment.

Could he witness such a moment again?

Fernan’s face filled with emotion.
