Chapter 120
Hotter, heavier, and more ferocious.
“…Since you put it that way, I’ll speak sincerely as well.”
The eyes of the frontier count were the same color as Luina’s, but they were different.
Forcibly holding back his racing heart, Fernan closed and opened his eyes before speaking.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
“The truth is, I initially approached Luina as bait to provoke the current situation.”
Ever since she had told him that creatures had begun appearing in northern Bercheff, Fernan had partly anticipated what was now happening.
“Speak.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
He couldn’t say he had approached her because, after seeing the future, he thought she’d ruin it, or because she seemed destined to become a Royal Knight.
A lie—but as convincing as the truth.
The response he now gave was something he had prepared since then.
Even if it were the frontier count himself, he would have felt the same curiosity and the same anger.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
“Just because it comes from your mouth doesn’t make it true.”
He knew it was hard to believe. advance But whether the count believed it or not, Fernan had no choice but to persist.
“I only learned a little earlier about the existence of the monsters. atomic And by tracking them, I traced it back to the tragedy that occurred in Bercheff.”
“And now you expect me to believe that?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
“Fine, continue. altitude Why did you want to see me, then?”
At his calm tone, the corner of the count’s mouth twisted.
“Believe it or not, that’s your decision. arcade I only tell the truth.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
“Invest?”
Nor will the humans.
“The monsters won’t just sit around enjoying a picnic, don’t you think?”
“Because I want to invest.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
“You dare say, to my face, that Bercheff might fall.”
And what if that repeated itself—as a second wave directly provoked by monsters?
“Bercheff was already devastated once by a wave of beasts displaced by monsters.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
In the case of Albinos Bercheff, he hated empty words and lies more than insolence.
Each person requires a different way of being dealt with.
“You know that yourself, don’t you?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
His mind dulled, and cold sweat ran down his body.
‘Damn it, I can’t breathe…’
The proof was the murderous pressure that seemed ready to kill him at any moment but hadn’t yet acted.
Before him, it was better to speak firmly, even if crossing the line a little.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
That just this murderous intent alone could do so much—indeed, the title of Royal Knight wasn’t for nothing.
But no one could prove it was a lie.
A perfect lie is no different from the truth, so there was no problem. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com
‘If he found out this is a lie, he’d tear me apart…’
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
After a long while, without withdrawing his murderous intent, the count asked.
His brow furrowed.
“…Is that the will of Pellenberg?”
“It is my will.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
Still, he had to speak.
“What real power does a mere young master have to dare utter such words?”
The pressure intensified. atom Fernan felt it was getting harder even to speak.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
But.
“…I can persuade my father.”
“…Yes, it’s true. action I don’t have the same power as the patriarch… What I’m planning, the large investment in Bercheff… I can’t decide it on my own.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
Damn it, even mana shielding hadn’t been enough.
“Persuade him?”
Cough—, with a cough, red blood spilled from his throat.
Fernan gritted his teeth.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
Even if it had been destroyed once before, Bercheff was still Bercheff.
“Yes…! absorb If Bercheff falls… the northern Empire will be devastated. athlete Even all of Schwaben’s territory… will collapse.”

Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
A land barely smaller than the great kingdom of Alfrosen would vanish all at once.
And between Bercheff and Schwaben stretched a territory—including Bercheff itself—that made up nearly one-eighth of the Empire.
Impossible. arctic With the current power, only Schwaben could stop that advance.
Could the other lands withstand a monster wave that had devastated it?
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
“In… that region, Pellenberg has many interests.”
“My father… won’t let it go. echo And above all, within that eighth of land is…”
The Golden Turtle Company had long been expanding into the north, with multiple investments.
If that region fell, not only the Empire but especially Pellenberg would suffer colossal losses.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
Like all electors, after all.
That’s why, when introducing his father, he was filled with endless titles—“Grand Duke of Pellenberg, Count of Ashdov, Lord of Holtian, and so on.”
The County of Ashdov was one of Pellenberg’s holdings on the Lutar continent, famous for its vast plains and warhorse breeding.
“The County of Ashdov, yes. autumn And I doubt that greedy man would lose it so easily.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
The murderous intent disappeared. anchor Fernan could finally release the breath he had been holding and catch his breath.
“Then, what is it that you demand?”
“…I want us to go north together.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
“To bring proof that there’s a monster nest?”
“Yes. alert We need evidence—solid evidence. silence Something to convince my father.”
“To the north?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
The count burst into laughter. airport The force of his laugh made Fernan shield his ears with mana.
Hahahahahaha…!
“You expect me to sacrifice my knights for Pellenberg?”
“Not just for Pellenberg—but for Bercheff and the Empire as well.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
“…What?”
The count’s expression cracked for the first time, as if he hadn’t expected to hear those words.
And he added:
“I’ll go too.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
“Yes.”
“…You say you’ll go personally?”
“It’s an extremely dangerous place.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
“But there’s a problem. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates. afford Why should I bind myself to Pellenberg, when it’s enough to officially notify the Empire of the danger and request aid? echo Your people already made me suffer enough.”
Hmm… The count fell silent for a moment, then hardened his face again and spoke.
“It’s better to have a large chunk taken from us than to be devoured by hundreds of hyenas until not even bones remain.”
“I’m aware.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
If it became public, many nobles would come to aid Bercheff.
Aid always came at a price.
They knew that if it fell, they’d be next, and there was much to gain there.
But in this world, nothing is free.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
“That would be too shallow a lie.”
Though everyone was under the Empire’s roof, at heart each noble prioritized their own interests.
“You’re not saying you wouldn’t take a bite yourself, huh?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
He took out from subspace a recording crystal—the same one containing the summoning of Andromalius.
Fernan felt the count’s voice soften a bit. antique It was time to strike the final blow.
“And there’s another reason I’m doing all this.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
***
That was the most honest answer he had given so far.
“I don’t want the wealth Pellenberg has built up to be lost to the demons.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
“He tricked me.”
At the chief butler’s question, the frontier count, now back in his office, let out a dry laugh.

“How did it go?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
“Seems he said something tempting enough, sir.”
“I didn’t ask what feelings he has for Luina.”
“Pardon?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
Even if it hadn’t been Fernan, the count already felt firsthand the threat of the monsters.
“It was a proposal like rain in the middle of a drought.”
The frontier count nodded as he picked up an almond chocolate from the table and popped it into his mouth.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
Thanks to that, reconstruction had become easier, but ever since the monsters appeared, no one interpreted it as a good sign.
Because the monsters that used to cross into Bercheff were gradually, though steadily, decreasing.
“That’s why it’s even more suspicious. portal What is that Ivon plotting, using his son at the forefront?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
The count didn’t believe this was Fernan’s unilateral decision.
“Then will you reject it?”
Support of such magnitude from Pellenberg couldn’t have happened without the patriarch’s approval. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

They had nearly lost the family’s secret swordsmanship, along with the debts they incurred with Pellenberg.
“No.”
They had lost the right to the golden edict due to Pellenberg’s proposal.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
Whatever trap it held, whatever poison it carried.
Even so, the frontier count couldn’t reject the current proposal.
“As he said, it’s better for Pellenberg to bite off a large chunk than for others to devour us down to the bones.”
Sometimes, even knowing it’s poisoned, one must swallow.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
The count shared with the butler the recording crystal he had received from Fernan.
“Above all, after seeing this, it no longer matters what Ivon is scheming. academy There’s no choice but to accept.”
If they still held the title of elector, things might be different.
But they had already lost it. arrow And Bercheff’s situation was what it was.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
“At the Academy.”
When he checked its contents, his face turned pale.
“…Then, the rumors about the corrupt causing trouble—it wasn’t them, but a demon.”
“We expected that someday the corrupt ones would summon a demon… but that it had already happened? arch Where was this?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
The butler let out a bitter, disbelieving laugh.
The holy light that defeated the demon. crystal His figure was the same as that of the legendary First Emperor.
“Don’t waste time lamenting the past. anxiety What matters most there is Aint Armian.”
“Mikale Montella… to hide something like this…!”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
“Prepare an expedition.”
The demons were showing their fangs again—but a new hero had also emerged.
“The world has not yet abandoned Bercheff.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
“Farther than any expedition we’ve done so far.”
“To what scale…?”
“Right away, sir.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
“I had to see Fernan first.”
“He tricked me, Father.”
The butler bowed his head. meadow Just then, Luina entered.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
“Now I understand that your praise for him wasn’t just from being infatuated.”
“…It’s not that. acoustic Fernan is objectively an outstanding mage.”
“Fine, let’s say that’s true.”
“And how did it go?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
“But I’m still against it. aspect The Pellenbergs are so sly, you never know what they’re hiding.”
The count shrugged.

“Father!”
A relatively peaceful day.
At Luina’s shout, the count covered his ears.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
“Ugh, I’m a mess inside.”
***
Fernan drank a potion. athlete It was a waste, but he had no other choice.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
And until then, if his wrecked body didn’t stabilize, he wouldn’t be able to prepare effectively.
“I’m sorry… it’s all my fault…”
Knowing the frontier count of Bercheff, whose decisiveness and ability to act were among the fastest in the Empire, he would soon prepare the expedition.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
“Thank goodness. crystal Ah, my father says we should have dinner together later.”
Fernan nodded at the positive signal.
“It’s not your fault, Luina. afford It was something I had to face sooner or later, and in the end, it turned out quite well.”
“It would be my pleasure.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
No, the count wasn’t that foolish.
The situation had backed him into a corner.
‘There’s no way to refuse. agent Even if I were the frontier count, I’d accept.’
‘Though he could’ve made it public to avoid relying on Pellenberg…’ This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
‘I set the whole board myself. anchor I won’t let someone else grab the fork first.’
But Fernan didn’t just want to stop the demons.
Making it public would make things easier, of course.
To anyone, choosing Pellenberg was the best option.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
If he succeeded, Bercheff would become Pellenberg’s backyard.
He wanted to stop them and, at the same time, have him and his house profit even more.
All big investments come with risks.
If he failed, he’d lose a lot.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
The greed characteristic of Pellenberg, the same that led them to even sell to demons, came to the surface.
“…Are you listening to me?”
‘What should I start with? auction Maybe with so many mercenaries I should build a hotel… No, better to exploit Bercheff’s abundant mines, make weapons, and profit from the war…’
A pale hand waved in front of his eyes. portal Fernan snapped out of his thoughts.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
“You don’t even know what you’re saying.”
“I said that, if you want, I can show you Bertén.”
“I’m listening. album What did you say?”
Luina sighed before continuing:
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
“If you show me, I’d be grateful.”
“Then let’s go.”
Bertén was the main city under Bercheff’s domain and where they were now. acid The largest city in the north.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
“Him?”
Luina didn’t like the idea and stopped.
“Can I bring senior Gismond too?”
“If you don’t want to, it’s not necessary…”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
“This place is the workshop street.”
Fernan and Luina dragged out Gismond, who had locked himself in his room, and went out.
“No, let him come too.”
The first destination was the street of forges and workshops.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
Heat and smoke poured out from everywhere.
Fernan examined a sword at a nearby workshop.
The regular pounding of hammers sounded like a melody.
Clang, clang, clang—

“Bercheff’s swords are the best on the continent, I assure you.”
Luina’s pride was justified.
“Well made. legend Firm and with good elasticity.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
Bercheff was the region with the most wars and battles in the Empire, which had led to the extreme development of its weapons and armor.
‘If I buy these weapons in bulk and resell them, I’ll make a fortune.’
Bercheff’s weapons were considered the best anywhere on the continent.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
The problem was, no matter how many were produced, most were consumed within Bercheff.
‘In the investment contract, this is the first thing I’ll secure.’
The battles were so frequent that they rarely exported.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
He could also support the craftsmen, learn the technique, and expand the business.
It vividly conveyed the feeling of the founder on horseback.
In the central plaza stood a ten-meter statue.
“This is the statue of the first patriarch.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
“I’m curious about the food here.”
“Do you want to eat something?”
After eating, they returned to the castle.
For having been erected a thousand years ago, it showed no signs of wear.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
They passed by the training grounds, where knights were practicing.
Hmm… Fernan shifted his gaze elsewhere.
“Can I see that?”
“Observing the knights’ training is forbidden. arena Not even you can.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
The person in question, who was watching the fights, flinched at the mention of his name.
“What if it’s not training, but a real duel to instruct senior Gismond?”
Not far away was the dueling arena.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
“I’m not talking about teaching you the family’s secret techniques. avalanche Just some real practice or basic aura handling.”
He followed Fernan’s pointing finger. echo There were Bercheff knights engaged in bloody duels.
“M-me…?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
“Yes, but here they do it better.”
“Can’t that be taught somewhere other than Bercheff?”
At that praise for Bercheff, Luina’s expression softened a little.
“Was that your intention from the start when you brought the senior?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
Though in truth… Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
“It was. adapt As you know, his skill doesn’t match the aura he has. admire And in the war against the demons, even one more expert is valuable.”
‘I need to keep an eye on Gismond.’
Sooner or later, he would get entangled with demons.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
There were still too many things to draw from him.
“That said, it’s not enough.”
If he died suddenly, it would be a problem.
Luina evaluated him with her gaze and sighed.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
“Can’t that be fixed?”
“…Since it’s you, I’ll ask the training captain for a favor.”
“Compared to Bercheff’s knights, he’s… far behind.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
“Thank you.”
Luina entered the training grounds.
“No need to thank me.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
“…Hey, what about my opinion?”
“Obviously it doesn’t count, senior.”
Left alone, Gismond asked:
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 120 by Indra Translations.
Gismond’s face turned pale.
