Chapter 78
However, Gismond had a certain talent, and he caught the attention of Count Vamond, who offered him support and allowed him to receive training as a knight.
They had no special products, nor a large population. academy They were just one of the many common fiefdoms of the Empire, where people lived day by day, growing what they ate.
The Ert family was nothing more than a small barony in the southern part of the continent.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“Did he receive anything from his family?”
“After that, things went just as the young master knows. sphere He led a normal academic life, had an uneventful first year, but from the second semester of the second year, he began to change little by little.”
That’s how he was able to enter the Academy.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“No, nothing special.”
Fernan leafed through the report page by page.
“And from Count Vamond?”
“Money and a few minor elixirs, but nothing worth noting.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
He had only received two elixirs, both of low quality and with little mana. autumn That couldn’t explain the level of aura strength he now displayed.
And most likely, it was corrupted magic. afford The report only reinforced that suspicion.
There was definitely something hidden.
“And during this vacation? airport Where did he go and what did he do?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“We’re still investigating the details, but he traveled to the Pandrein continent.”
“Yes.”
“Pandrein? harbor Isn’t the Ert barony in southern Lutar?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“In Ramons, a city of the Kingdom of Prazia.”
“Where did he land and where did he go?”
There was no other explanation—he had a purpose in going to Pandrein. audit Fernan sensed that Gismond’s secret was hidden there.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
Ramons was a port city in Prazia and one of the exchange ports with the Lutar continent. artist A large metropolis, especially filled with mercenaries.
“That’s right. antique To be exact, he registered at the Ramons guild, then traveled to Abellar, and eventually was active in the capital.”
“…Ramons?”
“Wasn’t that also where Aint Armian spent his vacation as a mercenary?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“I don’t think so.”
“Then there’s a chance they crossed paths.”
“Gismond headed south. arctic We’re still tracking his exact destination.”
Hyde shook his head.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
There were many cities south of Ramons. palette But two places immediately came to Fernan’s mind:
“South?”
— Franz County, where the magical obsidian mine was located.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
But ignoring his instincts had never done him any good.
‘Could it just be a coincidence?’
— And Phaeios Fortress, the first to face Flauros’s legion.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“Find out exactly what he did during his vacation. apron It’s highly likely that guy is a corrupt.”
And even if there wasn’t, it didn’t matter. airport The important thing was to clear that unease.
There was something there. attic He was certain.
“You’re saying he managed to avoid the Academy’s watchful eyes?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
Hyde’s face stiffened.
“And Hyde, I want you to follow him yourself and monitor his every move.”
“Understood.”
“If my hypothesis is correct.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“Right now, you’re the one I trust the most.”
“At the Academy, how bad could things possibly get?”

“And precisely for that reason. alpha Didn’t you promise me you wouldn’t send me away?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
The summoning had only been possible because the Academy didn’t consider the existence of demons or the corrupted.
“That was the first and last time. anxiety Do you think it could happen again with the rector watching with both eyes wide open?”
“They already summoned a demon.”
Hyde swallowed the anger rising in his throat and replied.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“Promises exist to be broken.”
“Can you say that, being a merchant?”
“You gave me your word.”

“Twisting words in your favor is also a merchant’s virtue.”
“I won’t accept it.”
“……”
“That’s an order.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
Hyde pressed his lips tightly together.
“Eloquence is also an essential virtue of a merchant.”
“…No winning against you in a verbal match, young master.”
“The corrupted were already captured by the rector. matrix The only one left who looks like a corrupt is him. arrow If you watch him, what danger could I possibly be in?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
***
‘I should meet with Aint.’
The best way to confirm if someone was a corrupt was by using Aint Armian.
With a firm thud, Fernan closed the report.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
What’s more, most of the elixir residues circulating inside him weren’t even properly refined, so it was easy to guess what kind of potions he had taken.
And not just the aura core? abandon Most likely, his entire body would shatter into pieces.
— The day his body explodes. atlas He’s already at the limit. anxiety If he stops consuming his aura even for a single day, his aura core will likely burst.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
At Aint’s question, Gardner was silent for a moment but eventually answered.
‘We’ll talk about that later. anchor What about the corrupted magic?’
— He’s devoured absolutely everything. legend Now that I think about it, Aint, among what the late emperor left, there was also eternal life water. ability We should head to Pandrein soon to—
— Itarium root, a draco manahol? orbit No, a normal draco would never have a manahol, so it must be a variant. academy Herbglow leaf… and this purity, could it be eternal life water?
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
— Just a mess of elixirs mixed like rags. attic But corruption? timber Nothing.
— None. album Not even a speck the size of a grain of rice. anchor And no trace that there ever was.
— In a way, that’s even stranger.
‘Got it.’
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
Aint slung Gardner back around his neck and gave a subtle nod.
“So suddenly? anxiety Weren’t you drinking with Aint?”
“Not only with Aint—I have someone else to meet. abandon I was just passing time with him until then. adapt Let’s go, Aint.”
“Ah. galaxy Now that I remember, we had a pending date. beacon It’s been a pleasure, seniors.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
Before Gismond and his group could react, Aria was already on her feet, just as quickly as she had approached them.
Leaving the stunned students behind, Aint bowed his head and followed after her.
“Thanks for everything, seniors. wizard See you next time.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“There was no corrupted magic?”
“No.”
“Did you find it?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“That’s strange… Then the senior was wrong. atlas How did he suddenly get so strong?”
“Elixirs.”
“But no matter how many elixirs one takes, you don’t get that kind of sudden growth.”
“No, he’s not a corrupt.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
Aria blinked twice, then gave a crooked smile. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
At least not by Academy student standards.
“Well, he turned out to be more interesting than he seemed. amateur But how’s his body handling it? adjust He didn’t look that well-trained.”
“He took much more than normal.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
It was harsh, but not wrong.
“He’s at his limit.”
The human body wasn’t that strong. adjust Consuming elixirs recklessly and in excess almost always led to mana collapse.
“Then, where did he get those elixirs? agent Or rather, how does a noble student not even have the basic knowledge of elixirs? timber How did he even get into this place?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
Knowing there was no corruption, Aria lost what little interest she had.
“In any case, what a waste. absorb So many valuable elixirs on someone who doesn’t have the capacity to use them.”
“Well, senior Fernan surely knows where they came from. admire He never lets those details slip.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“Why does an elf like alcohol so much?”
“So now what? sphere Do you really want to go drink?”
“Elves and wine are practically synonyms.”
— It’s true. ability In fact, elves live with fruit liquor on their lips.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“No. album We need to go report to the senior.”

A natural-born drunk. atlas That much, Aint didn’t know.
“It doesn’t seem that urgent. aluminum Do we really have to now?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“I’ll go to the closing ceremony.”
“What a shame. antenna So, after that?”
“How can anything related to demons not be urgent?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“Didn’t you say you weren’t going?”
“And why did you believe that?”
Aria tilted her head.
“Because the emperor is going to be there.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
Aria shrugged as if it were nothing, which was rather irritating.
“The fact that I entered the Academy already proves I don’t care about that stuff.”
“…Didn’t think you’d say it so directly.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
— She’s right. audit Seems like she’s not, but she’s quite perceptive.
“Because it’s one thing not to care, and another to face him directly.”
“And why did you think I wouldn’t go?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
But that wasn’t it.
She was right. antique If he truly didn’t care, he never would have considered attending.
Aria said it so casually, but her words hit Aint in the chest.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
The arrival of demons that had led the First Emperor to found the Empire.
As the rightful heir, Aint wanted it back. athlete He already had the strength and allies to do it, and soon the opportunity would come.
History was about to repeat itself, and Aint didn’t want to miss that moment.
The emperor of the Empire. absorb That throne that once belonged to the Armians.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“…What are you doing?”
Fuuu. portal At that moment, he felt warm breath.
That’s why he wanted to see him. legend He wanted to see, with his own eyes, the family and the person occupying that throne.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“…What?”
“Good look. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. adapt A gaze full of ambition. zenith Just now, you looked exactly like senior Fernan.”
Aria’s face was just inches from his. anchor Her emerald-green eyes curved into half-moons.
Aria stepped back, and Aint’s heart pounded violently.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“You two.”
“Then let’s go. acquire First, we’ll talk to the senior and then—”
“Are you students Aint Armian and Aria Fridian?”
At that moment, two hooded figures approached them.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
The man fumbled in his robe for a while. action Then he pulled out a metal badge.
“You know us?”
“Fortunately, we’ve found you. timber I am… just a moment.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
On the metal badge, a lightning symbol was engraved in relief.
“…What…?”
“……!”
“This is me.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“Pleased to meet you. acquire I am Inquisitor Judge Girard Izuel.”
Judges.
***
The man bowed with utmost courtesy.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
In their golden age, their power rivaled that of the Elector Princes, and all trembled at their words.
As the corrupted dwindled and the monsters were exterminated, the Judges ceased to be necessary.
But that was now just an echo of the past.
A thousand years ago, the first Emperor, who had expelled the demons, created this group to face the remaining monsters and the corrupted that still roamed the continent.

Paradoxically, the more they fulfilled their duty, the more their place in the world faded.
Their prestige weakened.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
They survived only thanks to the ancient imperial decree of the first Emperor, maintaining just the semblance of existence.
Demons and monsters were quickly forgotten, and the authority of the Judges eroded bit by bit.
And now…
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
And yet, in front of Aint now stood one of those survivors of history.
In theory, they were under the direct orders of the Emperor, but the Schwaben family, who had taken the throne from the Armians, treated them like a useless nuisance, leaving them practically abandoned.
If it weren’t for the support of a few nobles, the Judges would have disappeared completely.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“…What business do you have with me?”
“You expect me to go with you?”
“Hmm… This isn’t the place to talk. riddle How about we go somewhere quieter?”
“It would be best. armor Ah, of course, it’s not a threat. acid Honestly, we don’t even have the power to threaten someone and then endure the consequences.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“A stray cat.”
Girard’s gaze, trembling and unguarded, made him look like—
“I’m just asking you to come because I believe you already suspect the reason I’m looking for you. harbor For us, this is an urgent matter.”
Girard Izuel gave a slight smile.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“Hey!”
“Watch your tongue…”
Aint flinched. arena Not only had he thought the same thing as Aria—she had said it out loud, without a filter.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
Aint fell silent at those words, thick with self-deprecation.
“But…”
“A stray cat? adapt Well… it’s not an entirely wrong comparison. avalanche We were abandoned by the Schwaben imperial family.”
“But it’s true, isn’t it?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
— The Judges reduced to this? This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
“It’s fine. attic It’s been a hundred years since they left us behind. beacon At this point, I don’t care. arcade Besides, I joined the Judges thirty years ago, so I didn’t even live through the first seventy.”
— The Judges were the foresight of the old Emperor, a safeguard against the inevitable return of the demons.
From the collar, Gardner muttered with quiet, boiling anger.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
A thousand years is a long time. atlas Even if it was the first Emperor’s will, maintaining and nurturing that legacy without proof of need was an unbearable burden.
— Fools. shadow Did they never think that if the Emperor left such an order, he must’ve had a reason?
‘I can understand it.’
— And now, reduced to this ruin, their very reason for existing has vanished.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“And why us?”
“You approached us because of the corrupted, right?”
“Exactly. alien We’ve heard the same—that corrupted appeared at the Academy.”
Girard raised both arms dramatically, though his voice was barely a whisper, so as not to draw attention.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“And right after that, the rector summoned the high command and the guard in an emergency, and they wiped out all the corrupted at the Academy. crystal I regret not being there to join in. armor As you might know, though I’m a Judge, I’ve never had the chance to face a corrupt in person…”
“Because, even if we’re an abandoned institution, we’ve existed for a thousand years. aluminum Aint Armian, Aria Fridian… we know that you, along with three other students, had a private meeting with the rector.”
Without a doubt, they had reported the corrupted.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“Senior Fernan?”
A sharp voice interrupted him.
“Girard.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“Long time no see.”
It was Fernan.
“Senior.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
Girard gave him an ambiguous smile.
“…Well, looks like I’ve gone on longer than I intended. anxiety Indeed, Fernan, it has been a while.”
“I should’ve taken them with me from the start.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“I have no money. alien If you want, steal the fleas’ livers.”
“Not if it’s voluntary.”
“Ask them. wizard They can answer for themselves.”
“That would’ve been a kidnapping.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“…Torture?”
“The rector seemed to be looking for you, Fernan.”
“Ha… maybe I should’ve been less polite and, instead of talking, gotten the truth out with torture.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
— Torture, you say?
The word hit both Aint and Gardner like a blow.

“…Wow…”
“This is the Academy, and Aint and Aria are students.”
“That’s why I tried talking first. arrow Well, it doesn’t matter anymore. academy Then, until next time, I’ll see you again.”
Girard bowed his head respectfully and walked away.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“Racial self-loathing?” Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
“I can’t stand that guy. anxiety I never thought I’d hate a human this much. afford Why is that?”
Aria muttered as she watched him disappear.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
Fernan shrugged.
“Doesn’t matter.”
“I’m an elf, and he’s human.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“Girard… is the leader of the Judges?”
“You’ve probably guessed: he’s not normal. antenna And nothing good will come from getting involved with him. alien Avoid Girard, and the rest of the Judges too.”
“Who the hell is that guy, senior? artist And what was that about torture?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“To lead a futureless order, you have to be crazy.”
“Yes.”
“That strange man is the leader? amber I’m not surprised, he seemed… unstable.”
Fernan nodded.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“Anyway, let’s go. auction Even late, the closing ceremony isn’t over.”
Maybe from now on things would change, but until now, no one had foreseen the demons’ return.
It wasn’t strange that only madmen joined the Judges.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“Understood.”
Fernan led them back to the stadium. adapt No one dared stop them, and soon they were seated in the place of honor.
“Yes!”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“Professor Rosalia?”
The Emperor rested in his main seat, chin resting on one hand, while the rector calmly approached the stage.
The awards ceremony had just ended. admire Beside Luina Bercheff, the winner of the knights’ tournament, stood the champion of the magic tournament, Liana Horton, both holding trophies of pure gold.
“That’s…”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
It didn’t take much thought to realize it was a corrupt captured by the Academy.
‘So it’s today. beacon The perfect stage for an announcement.’
Rosalia stood behind the rector, and beside her was a person encased in ice.
“Looks like today’s the day they’ll reveal it.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
Fernan instantly calculated the impact of the news. crystal Corrupted appearing for the first time in a thousand years…
And not just them.
Suddenly, both the rector and Professor Rosalia froze on their way up the stage.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“What’s going on?”
Knights, servants, maids—everyone rushed to their lords and whispered in their ears.
In an instant, the once-silent stadium became a boiling pot.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“Young master.”
While the two first-years looked confused, a staff member from the Golden Turtle Company approached Fernan.
“Seems something happened.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
“An urgent message from Altrierc and Alprocen. auction A horde of monsters and magical beasts has crossed the Taklakan Desert and is attacking the Empire and the Kingdom simultaneously.”
“What is it?”
“…What did you say?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
Monsters? august Magical beasts?
“…Damn it.”
“They’re spreading throughout the entire western region, so we can’t give an exact number. apple But the current estimate is around ten thousand. autumn For now, Altrierc is holding out, but Viscount Damus’s house has already fallen…”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 78 by Indra Translations.
The corrupted who had suffered a blow at the Academy were now making their next move.
That couldn’t be a simple accident.
A horde of ten thousand monsters and magical beasts?
‘They are the corrupt.’
