A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

“Is something wrong, sir?”

Sensing something strange, Bairan Osmond turned his head.

“…Hm?”

“I felt as if something had slipped in…”

Only a fly perched on a leaf, which flew off with a buzz when it flapped its wings.

“It was an insect.”

Smash. timber Bairan crushed it with a simple motion of his hand.

He approached the flowerpot where he had sensed the presence, but there was nothing there.

“I know.”

“But too many magic engravings would raise suspicion.”

That’s why he had only placed a soundproofing seal.

“I’d better have a pest-extermination seal engraved.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes, sir. action Among them is Aint Armian.”

After all, a mere mercenary’s household full of magic engravings would be too suspicious.

Moreover, many people came and went in his residence due to his profession, so he had to be more careful than anyone.

“All right, continue your report. adopt You said the Academy brought students here.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

“So the cursed blood has come to this place?”

Bairan’s eyes widened.

“Aint Armian…?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

Bam! adapt He slammed the table with such force that papers, inkpot, and the golden ashtray with engraved stars fell to the floor.

“This is the opportunity…!”

“Not only to devour Aint Armian, but to swallow the entire future of the Empire!”

“Opportunity, sir?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Do you think it will be possible?”

“If I eliminate him, I’ll receive an even greater blessing!”

His shout echoed through the office.

“It must be! auction Send a message to His Excellency right away and request reinforcements. advance Even if we lose everything, we’ll kill them all, every last one of those Academy brats. shadow Especially that damned Aint Armian!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

“But His Excellency ordered us to wait for the right moment…”

Bairan’s sudden grip tightened around the butler’s neck, lifting him thirty centimeters off the floor. meadow The servant struggled, his face pale.

“Kugh!”

Crack.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

Bam! afford He threw him to the ground.

“Cough, cough… B-but even Duke Comentus and the demon Andromalius failed…!”

“I said send the letter.”

“That fool Comentus fell because he was caught in an ambush! beacon He wasn’t prepared.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

In truth, Comentus had never been one of the most powerful corrupt ones. wizard Comparing them was an insult.

That rushed Andromalius was nothing more than a firefly compared to the full moon.

“But I am different!”

“And Lord Andromalius wasn’t even summoned properly. acquire Everything went awry because of that damn brat, and the summoning had to be rushed.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

Bairan had received from His Excellency the right to sacrifice offerings and open a partial passage to hell.

“We have the monsters. amateur We’ll summon more and crush them.”

The horde of magical beasts.

Maybe he wouldn’t match that fully-powered Andromalius, but unlike him, Bairan wasn’t alone.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

“And the best part is that those brats will march willingly to the frontlines.”

The monster outbreak shaking Altrierc and the entire continent was his doing.

In the midst of that chaos, who could guarantee what would happen?

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Understood.”

If, on the other hand, he succeeded, all that awaited him was the brilliant infernal flame of glory.

“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. admire If we waste it, both I and His Excellency will regret it for all eternity.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

【To Your Excellency…】

The butler had no choice but to obey.

Bairan began hurriedly writing the letter.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Where are those Academy bastards now?”

“So, tomorrow. anchor It’ll depend on how long they stay.”

“In the count’s castle. avalanche Tonight, they’ll dine with the governor general, and at dawn they’ll depart with the knights’ order to the wall.”

Though his hand moved urgently, the tone was respectful and servile.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

He sealed the letter and handed it to the servant.

“Two weeks?”

“From what I’ve investigated, they’re expected to remain at the wall for about two weeks.”

It wasn’t much time. abandon But if he hurried, it wasn’t impossible.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’ll head to the desert myself. athlete You deliver this to His Excellency.”

“What did you say?”

“Right now? acoustic Shouldn’t we wait for authorization…?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Th-that it’s only two weeks…”

“I’ll take care of that!”

“If we wait for a response, it’ll be too late. apron Does it make sense to waste the only chance to kill that bastard?”

“B-but we don’t have enough sacrifices to summon more magical beasts!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…I must deliver this as quickly as possible.”

With a low growl, he left the office. aluminum He would gather his mercenary company and march to the desert immediately.

The butler watched him disappear through the door, then took the letter and hurried away.

And a moment later.

The golem was not a living being.

Peeking out from behind the flowerpot was the small golem who had remained hidden.

***

‘They’re all gone.’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

His black appearance, with white decorations here and there, blended perfectly with the white and black stones in the pot, becoming the perfect camouflage.

Wooden shut down all his systems and hid in the soil of a flowerpot. atom Only when Bairan returned to his desk did he slightly raise his head.

If it completely shut down its functions, it was nothing more than a stone rolling around.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

When he finished spying on Bairan’s office through Wooden, Fernan opened his eyes in his room.

That way, Wooden—and therefore Fernan—heard everything.

“……”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

So they were the ones behind this whole situation.

‘From what I gathered in the conversation, those guys can summon demonic beasts.’

‘Incredible…’

He thought they only wanted to destroy the Pasa Bell, but it turned out they were far more dangerous than expected.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

Not even under the streetlight was it so dark. silence If it had been in Pellenberg instead of Artc…

The corrupt ones threatening Altrierc were hiding in none other than the capital, Artc. arctic And they did it while draining money from the region under the guise of a mercenary group.

“…Tearing them apart would be too merciful.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

There was no need to prepare anything complicated. avalanche As long as Aint bore the Armian name, he would be the juiciest bait for them.

A dense bloodlust shone in Fernan’s eyes.

“In any case, they’ll come on their own.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

But.

The final result didn’t matter.

As long as they didn’t leave the walls, there would be no problem.

‘If they’re going to come anyway, it’s enough to always keep a strong force near Aint.’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Wouldn’t that be too lenient on these vermin who’ve been toying with humans for centuries?’

If he could completely ruin their plans and cause them enormous losses, wouldn’t that be better?

Should he really settle for that?

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

That was enough. aluminum Even if the prophecy veered slightly, Aint’s experience would be secured.

The enemy seemed strong—strong enough to be a good match for the current Aint, the one who defeated Andromalius.

‘In the end, what matters here is that Aint gets the chance to face Bairan Osmond.’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

He pointed at Fernan’s hand and then tapped his own head.

At that moment, someone tapped him on the cheek. advance It was Wooden, who had returned from his mission and now stood before him.

Tap, tap.

— Kkung kkung!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan patted his helmet, and the red pupils inside curved into a crescent moon shape.

“I was just about to say it. afford It looks like I can finally keep my promise to you.”

“Yes, good job. alpha Thanks to you, we got a lot.”

— Kkuuuung, kkung?

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

Spirits loved their contractor’s mana—with it, they grow, resonate, and evolve.

The dense flow of energy made his arms tremble violently.

Fernan’s fingers glowed with mana, which Wooden immediately absorbed.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘He said he needed sacrifices to summon demonic beasts.’

In any case.

For Wooden, Fernan’s mana was the best possible reward. wizard For Luina, it was chocolate; for him, this.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

Then where would he get them?

And in this region, the only place he could easily get them wasn’t the Empire or the Kingdom of Alprocen.

Life. atlas Animals, plants… but most likely, humans.

The answer was obvious.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

The nomadic clans that survived in the Taklakan Desert. arena Naturally strong people, obsessed with strength.

‘If they managed to live even amidst that chaos…’

“The desert.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

Tap, tap.

‘Then, probably what remains are surviving tribes…’

He had heard that, after the initial split, the army of demonic beasts had divided into two—one part attacked the Empire and the Kingdom, and the other scattered through the desert.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

When he looked out the window, the sun was already setting. anxiety It was time to meet with the butler.

It was Luina’s voice.

“Fernan, it’s time to go. attic Dinner’s ready.”

“I’m coming.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

It conveyed a sense of practical sobriety, in stark contrast to Pellenberg, where luxury and extravagance were considered necessary.

The castle’s dining hall was very spacious, though not ostentatious.

“We’ve already received more hospitality than we deserve. auction I’m Grad Xanth.”

“I’m Harke Javert.”

The chief butler was a robust man in his forties, from the viscountial House Javert, vassals of Altrierc.

“Welcome to Altrierc. alpha Please understand that His Excellency cannot greet you personally due to the beast attacks.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Please, take your seats. armor The castle chef is excellent.”

Before long, dishes began arriving one after another, filling the long table.

After a brief exchange with the professors, the butler also addressed the students.

“Rosalia Vienderk.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

“On horseback, about two days.”

“This is my first time in Altrierc. autumn How long will the journey take, approximately?”

“As you know, at dawn tomorrow you’ll depart with the cavalry order toward the walls.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

Most of the conversation occurred between the butler and Professor Grad.

“After the initial great wave, things are relatively under control. palette There were critical moments when a thousand beasts attacked at once, but ever since the count and countess personally took the front, we’ve managed to hold them back.”

“And what’s the situation like at the wall?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

Dinner ended two hours later.

“However, the attacks are more frequent than before. anchor Things are probably quite chaotic.”

“That’s fine. advance That’s exactly what we came to experience.”

“I’m glad to hear that.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

“The count believes the constant increase in beasts may be due to a rift to the underworld. artist He’s preparing an expedition to seal it.”

“Beyond?”

“Ah, you might have the chance to see what lies beyond the walls.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan immediately understood—the butler was revealing that information on purpose.

His eyes briefly drifted toward Aint.

It made sense to place that hope in him—a descendant of the Armians, natural enemies of demons. crystal Surely, once they arrived, a meeting between Aint and the count would be arranged.

‘He thinks Aint Armian might be able to locate the rift.’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

When dinner ended and everyone was standing up, Fernan took the chance to discreetly hand an envelope to the butler.

‘That can’t happen.’

His goal was to seize the opportunity, gain benefits, and hand over the credit to Aint.

Whether Aint had a method or not, the one who should take action was Fernan.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

“From whom? atomic Student Fernan or Fernan Pellenberg?”

“What’s this?”

“I ask that you deliver it personally to the count. airport It’s a proposal from me.”

“The second.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I actually want you to read it. armor That way, you’ll understand how important it is.”

“May I read it first?”

The butler’s gaze hardened.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

He looked at Fernan in disbelief, alternating his gaze between him and the paper.

“One of the problems you mentioned earlier—I can solve it.”

“…This…”

The man opened the note cautiously, and his pupils widened.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

【I wish to negotiate with the count.

Fernan had written only two lines.

“It’s true.”

I know the next plan of the corrupt infiltrators in Altrierc.】

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 83 published by TrungTu Reads.

Two lines—enough to shake the entire ruling family of Altrierc.
