Chapter 285
Summer vacation had arrived.
Although Fernan hadn’t attended the academy much and had taken advantage of his position as the rector’s protégé to move freely, he felt no remorse—after all, he’d spent that time fighting demons.
With the start of the break, Fernan organized everyone’s destinations.
“So I’ll go to Pellenberg. arch Thank you, senior!”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
And Fernan, along with Verian, Gismond, and Adolf, would also go to Schwaben—but as tournament observers.
Luina, Aint, and the Mercenary King would head to Schwaben to participate in the New Covenant Tournament.
Aria would travel to Pellenberg.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
“Hmm, the sea is calm today.”
Under normal circumstances, dark clouds, rain, and storms with sea monsters emerging from the depths should already have formed.
Fernan, chin resting on his hand, watched the waves sway gently.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
“How do you feel?”
Luina let out a chuckle. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com
“Humans are that hypocritical.”
“Weren’t you the one who said it’d be a waste if they appeared, and now you’re complaining because they didn’t?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
“Sorry we haven’t reached Schwaben yet. apron We should’ve been there already.”
“I’m not bad.”
Fernan had formally requested permission to use the direct teleportation circle to Schwaben, but it was denied.
“It’s not your fault. canvas It’s because they’re petty.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
They wanted to exhaust Aint, Luina, and the Mercenary King before the tournament.
Only the head of a family could authorize use of the direct transport circle, so if the emperor refused, there was nothing to be done.
The official excuse was that Schwaben had never allowed outsiders to use the family circle, but Fernan knew the real reason.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
The ship cut across the sea for several days until they finally made landfall in Schwaben. canvas From there, they continued by carriage.
The tournament wouldn’t be held in the imperial capital Schurfein, but in Altian—the city that had served as imperial capital during the reign of Armian.
He knew that sooner or later, they’d regret it. zenith Fernan had a good memory.
He understood. atlas The New Covenant Tournament was also crucial for Schwaben. echo But understanding didn’t mean forgiving.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
So, after just two attempts, the Altian coliseum regained its original purpose.
Schwaben had tried to move the event to a new location, but the Altian coliseum, like the Dragon God Tournament arena, was covered in complex magical engravings.
Despite years of effort, they hadn’t managed to build another stadium as durable—one capable of withstanding the full power of Royal Knights and ensuring spectator safety.
‘The Altian coliseum must also have been the work of the first Pope.’
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
Who the hell had that first Pope been? canvas Was he even human?
The questions piled up one after another.
It wasn’t a suspicion, but a certainty.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
“There it is—Altian!”
But now wasn’t the time to think about that.
***
In the distance rose the imposing millennial city of the empire.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
For him, feeling overwhelmed was inevitable.
‘So this is Altian…!’
Aint looked around without rest, like a country bumpkin visiting the capital for the first time.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
— Hmm, Altian remains the same.
A metropolis that had served as imperial capital for 900 years.
The very symbol of House Armian.
Until recently, he’d never imagined he’d set foot there—let alone as a challenger in the New Covenant Tournament.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
Seeing Altian after nearly a thousand years made his chest swell with pride.
Gardner, too, was moved.
— Not even Schwaben could erase its splendor.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
“Stop.”
The first Royal Knight, who had sworn loyalty to the first emperor and the empire, now witnessed the fruits of what he had protected.
— My struggle a thousand years ago wasn’t in vain. wizard I fought with all my might to see this moment…
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
“They’re the Black Eagle Knights!”

The moment was broken by the appearance of a squad of knights that cut off the crowd’s path.
Their black armor absorbed the light, and their insignias with black eagles fluttered in the wind.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
They were Schwaben’s pride.
The squad stopped right in front of Fernan’s carriage. sphere All fifty knights dismounted in unison.
“Welcome to Schwaben, Lord Fernan.”
“Is something happening?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
“I’m Bargan Hatolio, captain of the Black Eagle Knights.”
A middle-aged man, clean-shaven and neat-faced, bowed politely.
“I’m Fernan Pellenberg.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
“That’s Aint Armian! antique He’s here to compete in the New Covenant Tournament!”
“That hair… that pendant…”
The captain scanned everyone present, pausing a moment on Aint.
“And Fernan Pellenberg is with him too!”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
The commotion spread immediately.
“No, show us Wooden!”
“Saintbird! august Show us Saintbird!”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
“Lodgings have been prepared for the participants and honored guests. acoustic Allow us to escort you.”
Soon after, the group settled into a large mansion not far from the coliseum.
Despite the uproar, the Black Eagle Knights remained composed and fulfilled their duties.
Surrounding them were other similar residences—likely, one housed the duke and knight of Vienderk, and another the imperial crown prince.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
‘The emperor will only arrive on the day of the tournament…’
“Aint, let me warn you—during the Royal Knight induction ceremony, don’t lose your composure.”
Fernan smiled, imagining the encounter between Aint and the emperor.
“My composure?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
Aint becoming a Royal Knight would be a historic moment for Armian, but it would also be the perfect opportunity for Schwaben to reaffirm who held the real power.
“For the emperor, the ideal would be for you to not become a Royal Knight. absorb But since he can’t stop it, he’ll try to benefit from it.”
Still, it was a risk they couldn’t avoid.
He’d likely emphasize that he was the one who “appointed” a descendant of Armian as a Royal Knight, to reinforce his own authority.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
“Even so, in the end, you’ll be the one who gains the most from all this.”
“Honestly, I feel a little bad.”
“I believe that too.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
“There’s no need to feel guilty. amateur There are no eternal enemies or allies; we all act based on convenience.”
“Yes. audit He was the first to reach out to me, and now I’ll have to cut off that very hand.”
That was also the nature of Fernan and Aint’s relationship.
“For Gransis Vienderk?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
“I won’t lose.”
“So don’t act like you’ve already won. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates. avalanche If you lose, things will get messy.”
Fernan helped Aint out of necessity, and once Aint became emperor, he’d owe Fernan a great debt in return.
It wasn’t friendship—it was a contract.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
Just imagining it made him nauseous.
“I wasn’t planning on it from the start, but now that I’ve heard the crown prince is participating—there’s no way I’ll lose.”
He didn’t know how strong the crown prince was now, but if that man won and he lost…
Aint’s eyes turned cold.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
He could clearly, painfully recall the mocking smile of the emperor he’d once seen in the recording orb.
Not for Armian, and not for himself.
He wouldn’t allow that to happen.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
They had three days of rest.

“Good. acquire That determination is enough.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
It was unprecedented.
And finally, the day of the New Covenant Tournament dawned.
During that time, Luina and the Mercenary King trained daily, sharpening their senses, while Aint meditated and exchanged words with Gardner.
***
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
In a thousand years of history, countless New Covenant Tournaments and Dragon God Tournaments had taken place, but never before had three challengers appeared at the same time.
“One match per day, huh? alert Clever. aspect The profits must be astronomical.”
And the imperial family of Schwaben responded with flawless cunning.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
Prices on the black market skyrocketed.
They organized it in the most profitable way possible.
Those who had already purchased tickets for the first match were forced to buy two more if they wanted to witness the remaining duels. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
Thus, this unprecedented New Covenant Tournament was scheduled to take place over three days.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
If the New Covenant Tournament had been organized by Pellenberg, all that money would’ve gone into their pockets.
“Well, I’ll have to make do with the profits from resale.”
“What a waste.”
In the luxurious waiting room for tournament participants, Fernan, who had access as an observer, clicked his tongue as he looked at the stadium packed with spectators.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
“Is your full name Fernan Pellenberg the swindler?”
Luina, stretching her arms to keep her muscles loose, let out a disbelieving laugh.
“Just a few. echo Very few. orbit And I only marked them up by five times.”
“…You sold tickets on the black market?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
“But I’m the one who brought you both here.”
“If you put it that way, aren’t Aint and I the ones actually fighting?”
“I’m the one who made it possible for there to be two participants in this tournament. acquire I did the work, and Schwaben keeps the money. altitude Do you realize how unfair that is?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
That wasn’t true. orbit Even without Fernan, they would’ve made it on their own merits.
Even donations, Fernan believed, should be known across the entire continent.
But only he knew that—and if there was ever a time to boast, it was now.
After all, bad deeds are done in silence; good ones, with witnesses.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
Avoiding Luina’s sharp gaze, Fernan changed the subject.
“…Were those chocolates made of adamantite or mithril, by any chance?”
“And don’t think I make money just for myself. aspect It’s all to buy you chocolates.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
“Are you ready?”
Fernan placed his hands on Luina’s shoulders.
“I can’t say I’m perfect, but my body feels light.”
“That’s enough.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
“You have to win, Luina. arch You can do it. altitude I believe in you.”
“And if at any point you feel like you can’t win, remember—I placed a bet on you.”
“Yes.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
“The New Covenant Tournament encourages gambling. timber The commissions are pretty juicy.”
“…How much did you bet, exactly?”
“…What?”
Fernan didn’t answer; he simply turned away.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
“…Hah.”
Fernan had already vanished.
“I’ll be watching from the stands. arrow The birth of a new Royal Knight.”
“How much did you bet, I said?!”

But it was better not to dwell on that. wizard Luina cleared the distractions from her mind and touched the hilt of her sword.
He bet money on her? auction Of course he did—it would’ve been weirder if he hadn’t.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
She had reached this point. canvas Becoming a Royal Knight, protecting Bercheff, and following in her father’s footsteps—that had always been her dream.
‘At last.’
It was the adamantite sword Fernan had given her. legend In the New Covenant Tournament, participants used their own equipment, so that weapon would accompany her once again.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
And now that she finally had the opportunity in her hands, she had no intention of letting it go.
‘And besides…’
She may have arrived faster than expected, yes—but not by pure luck.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
With her silver armor gleaming under the lights, Luina stood.
“Lady Luina Bercheff. ability It’s time to step onto the stage.”
There was that promised cruise.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
The first knight of Vienderk, Hilde Goetz, eyed his opponent with an unamused expression.
‘Luina Bercheff.’
The moment she had waited so long for had come.
***
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
He knew well that the Bercheff family was famous for its line of exceptional knights, and that Luina was a young woman of great talent.
No matter how gifted she was, she was only twenty-three.
But wasn’t it too soon?
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
But he couldn’t help but distrust youth.
Sure, he’d heard she had hunted demons alongside Aint Armian.
Too young, practically a child. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
And just being here was reason enough not to underestimate her.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
At the signal, Luina drew her sword and vanished from sight.
“Begin!”
Yet all doubts vanished in the next instant.
“Prepare yourselves!”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
But Hilde Goetz was not the kind of knight who would be fooled by his own prejudices.
“……!”
There was no probing at the start—her blade burst forth like lightning.
The slash tore through the air with the ferocity of a lion lunging at its prey.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
Clang!
A crimson wave roared like a harpoon aimed to pierce the blue lion before him.
He took a short breath, awakened his aura core, and detonated it.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
A flash lit up the stadium. alert A moment later, the blast shook the ground.
The crowd roared, thrilled by the intensity of the opening exchange.
Shards of shattered aura clashed against the protective field surrounding the stands.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
He tightened his grip. academy His aura spiraled around his sword.
His technique wasn’t so much about swordsmanship form as it was about aura control and manipulation.
The tingling in his fingers told him everything he needed to know—he wouldn’t win if he held back.
And from that single clash, Hilde’s gaze turned completely serious.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
But they weren’t mere blasts—they were aura fragments that expanded Hilde’s perception across the battlefield.
Explosions filled the arena.
Boom! meadow Boom! antique Boom!
When Luina moved again, Hilde’s aura burst into chains, covering her completely.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
Before he could react, Hilde raised his sword in a rush.
Even so, Luina advanced nimbly, finding each opening with precision.
The residual aura not only clouded vision but disrupted the enemy’s senses.
‘She’s unaffected…?’

He blocked the blow, but Luina had already vanished from his sight.
Clang!
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
Hilde could barely keep up, defending desperately.
A bitter laugh escaped his lips.
Then to the side, then above.
‘Behind!’
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
They called her “the lioness of Bercheff”—now he understood why.
Was that girl really twenty-three and still in the academy? Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
‘This feels reversed. advance I’m the one being hunted.’
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
His aura technique, which he’d used so many times to dominate the rhythm of battle, was useless against her.
That feeling of being prey as a predator stalks you—he understood it perfectly now.
There was no point dragging it out any longer.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
Once he decided, the dispersed aura vanished.
Neither gave an inch; dozens of exchanges occurred within seconds.
Their weapons clashed—clank!—sparks flew in all directions.
The magical mist in the stadium dissipated, revealing the lioness charging straight at him.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
‘Her speed exceeds mine.’
In the chaos, Hilde realized the truth.
His mastery over aura manipulation wasn’t enough to match her.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
Fighting with pure technique was like dancing on the enemy’s stage.
Out of all his attacks, he had barely landed a few.
‘…What was I like when I was in the academy?’
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
So he decided to change the rules.
He stomped hard. alien A shockwave of aura surrounded him, and Luina retreated without resistance.
He had two advantages over Luina—his mastery in aura manipulation and transformation, and the explosive power it gave him.
Boom!
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
His ancestor—the founder of the Kallansie style—had dreamed of a sword technique so powerful it neared magic. arch And from that dream was born his ultimate technique.
That was the opening he needed. altitude Hilde raised his sword.
Kallansie Sword, “Dragon’s Ascent.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
A massive column of energy pierced the sky.
A cataclysmic force erupted across the arena.
Boom! acoustic Boom! voyage Boom!
The aura extended like twisting threads, joining in a spiraling ascent.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
The real blow came when the enemy, worn down within the storm, lowered their guard.
Hilde didn’t expect that to end the duel.
“Dragon’s Ascent” was a technique of attrition, not execution.
He knew Luina was on his level and would endure.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
However.
Luina Bercheff once again surpassed his expectations.
She advanced as if the storm didn’t exist. atomic Walked through the chaos as if taking a stroll, flowing with the wind.
“……!”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
The Kallansie sword dominated through brute force; Bercheff’s, instead, flowed with the current inside her.
The words of her old master echoed in her mind.
“Bercheff’s art follows the flow.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
Hilde clenched his teeth until they bled.
‘Damn it…’
It was as if he were facing his natural predator.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 285 by Indra Translations.
With a roar, he swung his sword with all his strength.
A massive wave of aura rose and engulfed the entire stadium.
Kallansie Sword, “Wave.”
