A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

“Next?”

“Next?”

A beautiful spectacle.

That was it.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Would the next one please come up?”

Each time Luina’s sword danced, the knights of Altrierc fell like straw dolls.

Her spirit, which did not yield even before a demon, would not do so before mere knights.

And at the same time, a satisfying one.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

That meant Luina had reached a level far beyond that of a mere student.

Five cadets from Class 1 had already fallen to her blade, and even a knight of Altrierc who could no longer bear it had charged at her, only to kneel just moments ago.

Her sword, forged in Bercheff and perfected at the Academy, shone with unmatched nobility.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was simply that Luina was in another league.

Of course, they weren’t from the Order of Iron Knights, nor from Wild Blood, nor from Noble Blood, but even so, the knights of Altrierc were by no means mediocre.

Or perhaps, that the knights of Altrierc were below expectations.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ohh.”

Further proof that Fernan had not been wrong in believing in the prophecy book and betting on Luina Bercheff.

“No wonder she won the jousting tournament…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Still, two knights defeated by a mere Academy student?”

The murmurs of admiration only reinforced Fernan’s conviction.

“What a disgrace. action And they call themselves cadets of the knight academy of Altrierc…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

A knight tried to step onto the stage, but Grad, arms crossed, stopped him.

“I’ll go this time…”

“How about we leave it at that?”

Of course, not all were praise. adjust Just as Luina felt rivalry with Altrierc, the animosity was mutual.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Right, Luina?”

Perhaps a bit below the Orders of Iron and Wild Blood, but not for lack of quality.

The Order of Noble Blood Knights was one of the three great orders of Altrierc.

“She’s already defeated five cadets and two knights. auction Letting a Noble Blood knight fight her now would be disproportionate, don’t you think?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

Back in the improvised waiting room, she sat down to wipe her sweat.

Contrary to the firm voice with which she had called for the “next,” Luina obediently sheathed her sword.

“Yes, that’s true.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Since when were you there?”

“You can’t even sense my presence?”

“Professor Grad holds you in high regard.”

The low voice at her ear startled her.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

With her face slightly red, she touched her ear.

“I thought you’d sit next to me, not whisper in my ear.”

Fernan offered her a chocolate, and Luina accepted it without hesitation, eating it immediately.

“Were you sure you’d win?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Don’t play dumb.”

“What do you mean?”

“I’ve never faced a Noble Blood knight, so I don’t know…”

“But?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

In truth, Grad hadn’t stopped the match to protect Luina, but to protect Altrierc. voyage Though she was Bercheff’s heir, she was still just a student.

“If they’re at the level of Bercheff’s Crimson Lion Knights, yes, I would’ve won.”

They couldn’t allow the backbone of Altrierc to suffer the humiliation of losing to someone like her.

After all, they were rivals, not enemies. orbit And while they were on Altrierc’s land, appearances had to be maintained.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Armian?”

At that moment, another Academy student stepped onto the stage.

“I’m Aint Armian, first year. acoustic Pleased to meet you.”

“Aint Armian?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Me too!”

“I want to face the Armian and see his sword!”

The surname sparked murmurs of anticipation among the cadets.

“Now that you mention it, it’s been almost a century since an Armian entered the Academy, hasn’t it?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

And the duels continued.

“My lord.”

***

“…Ahem, one at a time, please.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

The butler approached and whispered. abandon The count of Altrierc’s brow furrowed slightly.

“They say all of the Academy students won.”

“Oh, really?”

“It seems the duels between the Academy students and our academy are over.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

The one who responded, with an impassive face, was Rosalia Bienderk.

“I don’t see why it should.”

“It’s not surprising, it’s logical. academy Though I admit it stings the pride a little.”

“Am I supposed to be surprised?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

The count nodded.

“That’s true.”

“In the end, what we gather here are those who couldn’t get into the Academy, isn’t that right?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I didn’t expect a single one to win. voyage And they say Luina Bercheff defeated not just cadets, but even two knights.”

A heavy silence followed.

“The tea has a pleasant aroma.”

“Of course, no one says that out loud in front of me.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

After all, many of their knights were also Academy graduates.

“All of them are among the top three of their generation. alpha And Luina was this year’s jousting tournament champion.”

The level difference was clear, but that didn’t mean Altrierc was in decline.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

“But they’re still first- and second-years.”

“And how is the duke?”

“Talent transcends age.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

“My apologies.”

“I am not Duchess Rosalia Bienderk now, but Professor Rosalia. crystal Don’t forget that, sir.”

“Then, the departure will be in two days.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It was, but the plans have changed.”

“…Departure?”

For the first time, Rosalia’s mask of serenity cracked.

“With all due respect, wasn’t our mission to support the defense from one of the fortresses?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What does this mean?”

“At dawn, in two days, you will depart for the Taklakan Desert.”

“The Order of Iron, Wild Blood, and five hundred elite soldiers will accompany you.”

“So suddenly?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Even I don’t know.”

Rosalia’s eyes widened. orbit With that kind of force, they could easily overrun a minor kingdom.

“And for what purpose?”

“…Excuse me?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

The count let out a low chuckle, but Rosalia didn’t smile in the slightest. voyage It wasn’t funny at all.

“That was a joke.”

“My lord.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

“If you want answers, don’t ask me. harbor Ask one of your own companions. antenna It was one of them who altered the plan.”

“You resemble your father greatly. anchor No wonder you’re a professor at the Academy at your age.”

“My lord.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

And among the students, only one could have moved something like this.

It couldn’t be Grad, who exuded laziness down to his bones. beacon That left only the students.

“…One of my companions?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

***

“Fernan Pellenberg…”

The count shrugged, as if confirming her answer.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

She simply asked the next question calmly.

“I found a lead on the Corrupteds. antenna I shared it with the count, and thanks to that, we were authorized to take part.”

“Explain yourself.”

With that concise explanation, Professor Rosalia didn’t ask why the professors had been left out.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

“The desert clans.”

“It’s about a Corrupted who summons monsters. alien He uses life as a sacrifice to call forth new spawn. riddle And what kind of life can be found easily in the Taklakan desert?”

“And what is this lead?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Not a bad strategy.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“So the goal is to intercept him in advance.”

There were the Empire and Alprosen, but both resisted behind walls. alpha In comparison, the nomadic desert clans were far more vulnerable.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I wasn’t, but that boy named Fernan has tired me.”

“Tired?”

Rosalia pulled a black cigarette from her subspace and lit it.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What do you think, Professor Grad?”

“What else can we do?”

Chack. absorb The ember lit.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

Grad shrugged.

“I can’t reveal the source, but the information is reliable.”

“I’m not saying you’re lying. armor You wouldn’t be stupid enough to make something like this up.”

“If the count already decided, we have to obey. arena Even if the source is dubious, if it’s true, it’s a smart move.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

He was right. action Since the decision had already reached the count, there wasn’t much the professors could do to reverse it.

“That means extra work for us. alert We thought it would be a wall defense, and now we’re doing a blitz operation in the desert.”

“Then it’s settled.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

Meanwhile, in the desert.

***

Grad’s voice thundered.

“Everyone, gather up!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

A red horse kicked up sand as it ran. voyage Bairan Osmond covered his mouth and nose with his cloak, shielding himself from the sandstorm.

Though after accepting the power of the Great Ones he no longer suffered from heat or cold, the desert was still unbearable to him.

‘Damn desert.’

Tatatatata—

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

He only needed one thing.

‘But it ends today.’

Aint Armian.

That cursed bloodline which, unfortunately, had managed to banish Andromalius. meadow If he killed him, it would all be over. admire His miserable life in the desert would finally end.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Damn, I’m running out of time…’

By eliminating his enemy, he’d gain recognition, and the Great Ones would raise him to a higher rank.

Most of the sacrifices he had spent years preparing for his summons had been consumed in the Monster Wave. alien He’d gathered what he could from corpses, but it still wasn’t enough to ensure Aint’s death.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

All that was left was to separate Aint from Altrierc’s forces. aluminum If he had enough creatures, he could isolate him.

He needed even more monsters.

“Finally.”

‘Even if it was luck, that bastard killed Andromalius. adopt I can’t afford to underestimate him.’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

After the Wave, most clans had fled south. alpha That had been possible only because he had allowed it — he needed them alive as sacrifices.

“This will be the fifth.”

In the distance, through the storm, he spotted the yurts of a desert clan.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘It’s already been a week. anchor There’s no time left. alpha I’ll have to settle for five.’

Now they were too scattered, and hunting down just five clans had taken longer than expected. atlas His original plan was to collect at least ten.

“I should’ve gathered them all in one place.”

Though it troubled him, he couldn’t waste the chance now that Aint was walking into the lion’s den.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

Bairan didn’t stop.

“Halt there!”

Three warriors from the clan appeared at the village entrance.

“Stop!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

He blew a whistle charged with demonic magic.

Monsters emerged from the sand like hungry sharks.

“I don’t have time to waste on insects.”

Fwoooosh!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

The aura he felt in front of him wasn’t that of ordinary warriors. adapt Something was wrong.

At the same time, he unleashed a torrent of magic at the guards. aluminum He was certain that in an instant they’d be corpses to feed his beasts.

‘…Wait.’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

An icy slash deflected his magic.

“What…?”

Claaang!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

Clang! antique Clang! riddle Clang!

Before he could react, his opponent’s sword coiled around him like a serpent.

The impact was so strong it forced him to stagger back.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

Everything was locked in a world of white ice.

Sparks flew in a flurry of five clashes. arctic Taking advantage of the recoil, Bairan leapt from his horse and retreated.

“Who the he—?”

Then he noticed it. august The desert heat had vanished. antique The monsters stood frozen.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

A glacier, a prison of ice, had risen around him.

“…What the hell…?”

And in that very moment, a rumbling shook the ground.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

They were hooves.

But they weren’t monsters.

Tatatatata!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

Rhythmic.

The two most powerful orders of Altrierc.

“…The Order of Iron? meadow The Order of Wild Blood? anchor What are they doing here?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

“We’re going to do to you what you planned to do to them.”

“What are we doing here? riddle Very simple.”

A harsh voice rang in his ears.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 87 published by TrungTu Reads.

And a massive block of stone came crashing down on his head.
