A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

“Next?”

A beautiful spectacle.

That was it.

“Next?”

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.

And at the same time, a satisfying one.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

“No wonder she won the jousting tournament…”

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

“Ohh.”

It was simply that Luina was in another league.

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

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

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

The murmurs of admiration only reinforced Fernan’s conviction.

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

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

“How about we leave it at that?”

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

“I’ll go this time…”

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

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

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

“Right, Luina?”

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

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.

“Yes, that’s true.”

“Professor Grad holds you in high regard.”

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

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?”

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

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.

“Were you sure you’d win?”

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

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

“What do you mean?”

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

“But?”

“Don’t play dumb.”

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. auction 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Aint Armian?”

“Armian?”

The surname sparked murmurs of anticipation among the cadets.

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

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

“Me too!”

And the duels continued.

“…Ahem, one at a time, please.”

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

“My lord.”

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

***

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

“They say all of the Academy students won.”

“Oh, really?”

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

“Am I supposed to be surprised?”

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

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

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

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

“I don’t see why it should.”

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

“The tea has a pleasant aroma.”

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

“That’s true.”

The count nodded.

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

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

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

A heavy silence followed.

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

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

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

“Talent transcends age.”

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

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

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

“And how is the duke?”

“My apologies.”

“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.”

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

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

“…Departure?”

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

“What does this mean?”

“So suddenly?”

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

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

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

“Even I don’t know.”

“And for what purpose?”

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

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. wizard It wasn’t funny at all.

“That was a joke.”

“…Excuse me?”

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

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

“My lord.”

“My lord.”

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

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

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

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

“Fernan Pellenberg…”

“…One of my companions?”

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

“Explain yourself.”

***

The count shrugged, as if confirming her answer.

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

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

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

“And what is this lead?”

She simply asked the next question calmly.

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.

“Yes, that’s right.”

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

“The desert clans.”

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

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

“Not a bad strategy.”

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

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

“Tired?”

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

Grad shrugged.

“What else can we do?”

“What do you think, Professor Grad?”

Chack. arctic The ember lit.

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

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

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

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

“If the count already decided, we have to obey. legend 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.

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

“Everyone, gather up!”

“Then it’s settled.”

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

Meanwhile, in the desert.

***

Tatatatata—

Grad’s voice thundered.

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

A red horse kicked up sand as it ran. acoustic 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.’

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

‘But it ends today.’

He only needed one thing.

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

Aint Armian.

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

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. attic He’d gathered what he could from corpses, but it still wasn’t enough to ensure Aint’s death.

‘Damn, I’m running out of time…’

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. atomic If he had enough creatures, he could isolate him.

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

He needed even more monsters.

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

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

“This will be the fifth.”

“Finally.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Stop!”

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.

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

Fwoooosh!

He blew a whistle charged with demonic magic.

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

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

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

Monsters emerged from the sand like hungry sharks.

‘…Wait.’

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

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

Claaang!

“What…?”

An icy slash deflected his magic.

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

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

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

Clang! crystal Clang! atomic Clang!

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

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

Then he noticed it. beacon The desert heat had vanished. advance The monsters stood frozen.

“Who the he—?”

Everything was locked in a world of white ice.

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

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

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

Tatatatata!

“…What the hell…?”

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

“…The Order of Iron? anxiety The Order of Wild Blood? attic What are they doing here?”

They were hooves.

But they weren’t monsters.

Rhythmic.

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

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

A harsh voice rang in his ears.

The two most powerful orders of Altrierc.

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.

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