Chapter 77
The semifinals of the jousting tournament unfolded just as everyone had anticipated.
After a short day of rest, the day of the final arrived, also the last day of the festival.
Luina Bercheff defeated Kuntz Bair, and Rob Kaelin beat Valoshi Bienderk.
Time passed quickly.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
“Welcome, Lord Fernan. apron Allow me to guide you.”
The jousting tournament final and the magic tournament final.
The entrance to the stadium where both would take place was packed with people who had come to witness the matches.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
Without waiting, Fernan went straight into the VVIP seats, but he stopped when he saw someone occupying his place.
“That’s my seat.”
“What are you doing? abandon Come and sit.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
“There are plenty of seats.”
“When exactly did you arrive, Father? adapt You’re a busy man.”
The VVIP seats were arranged like small private rooms, separated by panels to maintain privacy.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
“So, as an extra.”
Someone like Duke Pellenberg didn’t move lightly.
“No matter how busy I am, not so much that I can’t come to see my son at least once. amber Though I didn’t come just for you.”
Of course, this time there was a greater matter—the demons—which had made him act in person; but it made no sense to handle just one matter when he could attend to several.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
“Are you talking about the rector?”
“The rector is not that type. crystal But simple words of gratitude, which cost nothing, can sometimes be worth more than a fortune.”
“Man is a cunning animal. meadow Even if he receives a fair reward, if he doesn’t hear a word of gratitude, he may end up holding a grudge.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
But Fernan knew that wasn’t all. arch He was certain his father and the rector had discussed the demons.
“I understand.”
“Did the other prince-electors also come?”
Probably about the path forward.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
“How much of it is true?”
“I’m the only one who moved personally.”
The title of prince-elector wasn’t a light one. wizard And since they believed what had appeared were corrupted ones, not demons, they wouldn’t move so easily.
Even so, it meant the emissaries of the prince-electors were scattered across the VVIP seats.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
“Then, which parts were left unrecorded from the start?”
“All of it.”
Though his father asked the question loosely, Fernan understood without difficulty.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
“The necklace.”
“From the moment Luina Bercheff stood before Aint Armian.”
Just as the rector had noticed, the duke had also realized the recording was full of cuts.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
The small Wooden raised its hand. meadow The duke, knowing it was an ego golem, wasn’t surprised.
“Correct. anchor It’s a golem.”
“So you trimmed down what you did with my artisans and facilities, and that’s what you ended up with.”
The duke’s gaze fell on the necklace Fernan wore around his neck.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
“Seems it was quite effective against Andromalius.”
An ego golem was an artifact capable of shaking the whole continent.

“I drove him to a state close to death.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
“But you were careless.”
“The judges who received the rector’s letter have already begun moving.”
He hadn’t been. beacon In the recording, no trace of Wooden remained. beacon What the duke pointed out wasn’t the golem.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
“…The problem isn’t the golem, but that I myself appeared in that place.”
The sudden blow nearly made him lose control of his expression, but Fernan held back.
“Stay quiet. galaxy If a rabid dog bites you, there’s no cure. audit Above all, never say that you knew beforehand that a demon was going to be summoned.”
“I didn’t know.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
“Curious that right at that moment, you were in the place where the demon appeared.”
“It’s the truth.”
“I’ll leave it at that.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.

“It’s already repaired.”

“Pure coincidence. abstract If I had known, I would’ve avoided it. atlas I’m not stupid enough to walk straight into it alone.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
“And yet, a demon emerged.”
He had nothing to say.
But there was no need to insist further. album The duke didn’t seem intent on pressing on, and looked away.
“I didn’t know.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
“At that age, with such an achievement… the Bercheff family is not finished yet.”
“You’re right.”
By then, the finalists were already stepping onto the stage.
Upon seeing Luina Bercheff, the duke’s eyes shone with interest.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
“A family that collapses just because a secret sword art is taken from them doesn’t deserve the title of prince-elector.”
“In any case, right now they no longer hold that title.”
“Did you really think of letting them fall?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
Still, between the two options, they chose to sell the golden decree instead of handing over the secret art.
And it was the duke himself who had driven them to sell their golden decree, the symbol of their rank.
“A secret sword art is not the original, but a copy. zenith And it’s not as if we would have spread it to the world, so the Bercheff family wouldn’t have suffered much.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
Possessing a swordsmanship manual wasn’t only for learning it. anxiety Analyzing it thoroughly to create a method of countering it was its true value.
“But against us, they wouldn’t have been able to use their strength properly.”
“Do you already feel attached to her because you partnered with her?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
“Words of gratitude cost nothing.”
“And you intend to flatter her from now?”
“Luina will become a Royal Knight.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
“Begin the match!”
The duke took a sip of cold tea that had already been prepared.
“And from someone in position, they’re worth gold.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
The final began.
A thunderous crash tore through the air.
Luina Bercheff and Rob Kaelin. meadow Two knights mounted on their steeds galloped toward each other.
────!
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
“Albinos Bercheff is already a Royal Knight.”
The shockwave spread in all directions, though it couldn’t pierce the magic barriers protecting the stands.
It was an unexpected remark.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
“Yes.”
“If Luina Bercheff becomes a Royal Knight, the Bercheff family will have two.”

Second clash. accent Still no victor.
────!
“Not a bad deal. autumn Royal Knights can’t be bought with money.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
“I’m sorry, but you’re mistaken.”
Amid the noise, Fernan responded without changing his expression.
“Are you saying you bake bread to give it to beggars?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
“You used mandrake as firewood.”
He was talking about the mandrake root Fernan had given Luina.
“I haven’t even baked bread.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
“Flour isn’t just for bread.”
Third clash. portal Both dismounted and drew their swords.
“An investment only ends when you sell and receive payment.”
─────!
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
─!

And he had already recovered the initial capital.
“I will receive it.”

Silver traces and an energy blue as the sky bit into each other.
──!
Clashing swords.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
It wasn’t easy to witness a duel between descendants of Royal Knights.
“A beautiful and rare sight.”
“Father.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
“Speak.”
“I want to make a deal.”
The duke barely turned his head in silence.
─!
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
“Is that a deal?”
“What kind of man is the Mercenary King?”
─!
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
“You gave him the obsidian vein, didn’t you?”
Anyone knew that.
“He’s a Royal Knight. apron A man who, without being a knight, received the title of greatest knight of all.”
“It’s just a question.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
“I didn’t say that either. arch It’ll go as your report stated.”
“So you won’t?”
“I never said I would develop it.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
“He’s a mercenary to the core.”
“Nothing more?”

The duel between the two knights grew fiercer. anchor Fragments of shattered aura tore through the surroundings.
It was like a dance.
Even so, neither Luina nor Rob gave an inch.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
A spectacle in itself.
The audience, mesmerized, fell silent before the grandeur of the scene.
A duet of man and woman tracing a sword dance that filled the arena entirely.
Only one, Fernan, paid more attention to the duke’s voice than to the battle.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
“That’s all?”
“He completes any assignment he accepts. action No matter what, he prioritizes the client’s orders. acquire He’s someone you enjoy hiring with money.”
Though that didn’t mean the client was the absolute master.
“Garrett Schreiner has his limits. afford If you cross them, he pays the penalty and abandons the mission immediately.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
“Do you see Garrett as a dog?”
“Then, even in an emergency, if the client orders him not to act, would he stay put?”
“No matter how strong he is, do you think he could’ve earned the title of king by doing as he pleased?”
That was good intel. wizard Once he accepted a job, he almost always followed the client’s decisions.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
On the duke’s usually impassive face, an expression appeared—rarely. album A dry laugh.
“If it poses no issue for Garrett or his mercenaries, then yes.”
That was it. acoustic Fernan discreetly clenched his fist.
“Never.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
But it didn’t matter. voyage Fernan had the perfect bait to lure the King of Mercenaries.
“But Garrett doesn’t take just any job. audit If the requester isn’t up to par or he’s not interested, he declines.”
“I know he only accepts one or two jobs a year at most.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
He wasn’t planning anything special. portal Mercenary and client. adjust When they met, all he’d do was hire him.
“Forget about clumsy approaches. sphere Garrett isn’t someone easy.”
“Thanks.”
“How could someone who is a Royal Knight be easy?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
To hire him to fight against the demons. atomic A Royal Knight. anxiety That was Fernan’s last resort.
‘A mercenary. ability His king.’
Truthfully, he didn’t know if it was the right thing, or if it would only hinder Aint’s growth.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
That’s why he’d considered the King of Mercenaries. beacon A man who put the client’s will above all else.
But it was also true that relying solely on Aint felt unsettling.
‘Because he could hold back until he decides Aint can’t win.’

The simplest thing would be to rely on the family’s strength. alien But that wasn’t right.
A fight against demons could bring irreparable losses to the family, and there was no way to justify knowing in advance they’d be summoned.
───!
Seeing the future was Fernan’s greatest secret—and his greatest weapon. anchor A truth he couldn’t share with anyone.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
──!
While Fernan and the duke talked, the duel had reached its climax.
─!
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
The aura blades forming on their swords were harder and sharper than ever. riddle At any moment, the attacks could trigger defensive artifacts.
Their strikes were as light as they were heavy, and the stadium floor had cracked as if meteorites had fallen.
Despite the hundreds of exchanges, their swords didn’t slow. voyage Nor did their faces change.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
“I’ll tell you how to hire Garrett. attic The rest is up to you.”
“……”
“It tore apart and killed Andromalius’s serpent.”
“How did that golem perform?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
“That little snake?”
“A monster, then. advance Well, I guess it was worth the cost. adopt When you said you’d waste those expensive things on a mere golem, I thought you were crazy.”
“It grew over twenty meters long.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
“It’s the perfect companion for a merchant.”
The little Wooden hanging from his collar cheerfully waved. atlas The duke observed it indifferently.
If it could destroy a demonic beast, its performance was more than proven.
Thunk!
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
A deafening roar shook the stadium.
Waaaaah!
At that moment—
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
The duke rose from his seat after checking the battlefield.
“It’s been decided.” This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
Luina, Aria, Verian, and Aint.
“Can you trust the ones shown in the sphere?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
“I can persuade them.”
“If you don’t want the judges to discover the truth about the demons, you’ll have to seal their mouths well. adapt If you’ve already been paid in advance, as a merchant, you must deliver.”
“And the last?”
“I can trust one completely, negotiate with another, and blackmail a third.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
As the duke departed first, Fernan called after him.
He meant the rector.
“I’ll keep it in mind.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
Fernan smiled as he looked at the stadium.
“Aren’t you going to watch the Magic Tournament final?”
“I just wanted to see who you can trust.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
From the start of the festival until now—
And besides—
He’d already gathered the funds to hire the King of Mercenaries.
“Sir, the first report on Gismond Ert has arrived.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
Luina knew it from the first clash of lances.
Strong.
***
He’d also received information about that strange man.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
Grandson and disciple of a Royal Knight.
Her opponent was Rob Kaelin.
No, in truth, she knew it even before crossing weapons.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
Last year’s jousting tournament winner.
He’d lived two more years than her. athlete For some, two years meant little, but for a prodigy, two years were an insurmountable wall.

Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
Rob Kaelin was, without doubt, formidable. matrix He was strong.
If he was a Royal Knight’s grandson, she was a Royal Knight’s daughter. sphere A knightess who had fought a demon and emerged victorious.
Even so, Luina felt no fear. orbit In the midst of that cold hostility and surge of sinister aura, she stepped forward and swung her sword.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
But he wasn’t as terrifying as a demon. acoustic Not as strong as one.
‘I said I would win.’
For a knight, a promise was as valuable as life itself.
That’s why she knew she wouldn’t lose. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
No—even if not for that, she wanted to win.
That’s why she had to win.
Not all jousting champions became Royal Knights.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
That’s why Luina had to win.
The swords clashed. zenith Rob Kaelin was stronger than any student she had ever faced in the academy.
But except for two who never entered the academy, all the others had won the tournament.
Each clash of blades made her teeth grind.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
But she could endure it.
Not the pressure, nor the destructive force, nor the speed.
Nothing told her she couldn’t win.
Compared to the battle with Andromalius, where every blow tore her muscles and burst her veins, this was nothing.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
─!
Clang, screech—
After hundreds of clashes, their swords met once more.
And that conviction became reality.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
Luina dropped low and raised her arm. absorb Her opponent’s torso was exposed.
The blades slid against each other.
She lifted her knee, but the hard aura shielded his armor. accent Using the momentum, she shoved him, and both crashed down in a tangle like colliding carriages.
Crash!
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
Both Luina and Rob knew—this would be the final clash. harbor They had barely any strength or aura left.
Staggering, they lifted their swords. aluminum As if by silent agreement, they unleashed the last of their aura.
Both rose, panting.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
Like when she gave everything, desperately, to pierce the demon’s heart.
‘Sharper. abstract Even sharper.’
A flash of mixed aura engulfed the stadium.
Their swords, deadlier than ever, collided.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
The one still standing on both feet was Luina.
“Huff, huff…!”
And when the light faded—
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
On the ground, Rob stared at the sky while the bracelet on his wrist glowed faintly.
“…Ha, I didn’t think I’d lose.”
…Did she win?
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
Luina instinctively looked up toward the box where the high nobles sat, where she assumed Fernan was.
She didn’t know why she looked there first.
Yes, she had won.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
Because without Fernan—
That victory wouldn’t have been possible.
She wouldn’t have been top of her class, or even there at all.
She simply wanted to.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 77 by Indra Translations.
Luina didn’t know, but at that moment, golden drops like tears of gold fell from Fernan’s eyes.
“Luina Bercheff is the victor!”
Luina raised her sword high.
The judge proclaimed the tournament champion.
