Chapter 8
Grad and Rosalia projected a complete map of the northern mountainous region onto the front wall.
This was possible because the maps given to students weren’t only imbued with defensive magic to detect elimination—they also had a real-time tracking spell.
On the wide map of the northwest mountains, each pair’s location was updated in real-time.
The classroom was now empty; all the students had left.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
Although only four hours had passed since practical training began, eleven pairs had already been eliminated.
Almost a tenth of all participants were out, far exceeding expectations.
The fact that none had fallen to monsters meant only one thing: conflicts between students.
An assistant instructor reported the situation: student eliminations were occurring faster than expected. silence And most importantly, none of them were eliminated by monsters.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“Fernan Pellenberg? meadow What do you make of that, Professor Rosalia?”
“It’s a bit unexpected. alpha Fernan isn’t one to take such a step. crystal Maybe he’s just matching Luina’s pace. meadow She’s the kind of student who always gives her all—almost terrifyingly so.”
Three pairs stood out.
Ludger Schwaben & Almon Donertz; Carlo Deneb & Alia Torta; and Luina Bercheff & Fernan Pallenberg.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“Could it be for money again? atomic But if so, then Fernan shouldn’t settle for Luina.”
Frankly, the fact he teamed up with Luina at all was hard to understand.
For Professor Rosalia, it was a real surprise. meadow The Fernan she had observed over the last year was more merchant than noble—valuing profit and pragmatism over honor or prestige.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“Fernan recently visited the Pellenberg estate. crystal The Duke may have given him new orders.”
“If he’s doing it, it must be because he sees it as more profitable.”
“The only thing pairing with Luina and following her would yield is high scores. abstract But hasn’t he been indifferent to grades until now?”
Fernan was the kind of student who always prioritized gains. silence That was the Fernan Rosalia had come to know during the past year.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
Grad stroked his chin.
“That would make sense.”
“Well, it’s not that important. atom Professor Rosalia, in your opinion, who’s likely to win?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“All are strong contenders. harbor I can’t give a definite answer.”
“More specifically?”
“Most likely one of the three pairs I mentioned before.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“Steadfast as always.”
“At minimum, we’re about to go from three possibilities to two.”
Grad’s gaze shifted as he noticed two markers converging.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
Grad stepped onto the magic circle.
“Possibly.”
“They might cross paths and then move on separately.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“If they clash, the assistants alone can’t guarantee their safety. arctic Stay here and continue monitoring the situation.”
“Are you going out?”
“Yes, sir.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
She could see many markers moving quickly: some encountering each other and clashing before fleeing, some seeking others to capture for extra points, others heading north, focused only on their destination.
With a flash of light, Grad vanished.
Left alone in the classroom, Rosalia sat down again and resumed watching the map.
Among the chaotic points, Rosalia’s gaze fixed on two.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
Jane Hux from the Knight Department and Ned Palan from the Magic Department had been eliminated—extra points went to Luina Bercheff (Knight) and Fernan Pallenberg (Magic).

The two most prominent second-year students.
“…Ludger Schwaben, Fernan Pallenberg.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
Just after Luina incapacitated Jane, an assistant teleported them away.
“Was that you holding back?”
“With the defensive magic active, we no longer have to hold back in combat.”
The map not only displayed locations but also protected students and served as official proof of elimination.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“Jane’s usually a bit timid. abstract She’ll need to fix that if she wants to become a knight.”
“She looked like she was about to pass out.”
“I tried to stop just before the hit. airport But with the defensive magic, it wasn’t necessary.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“So, where to now?”
The two floated above the terrain using Fernan’s magic, surveying the land.
Luina genuinely cared about her. harbor Noticing that continuing the conversation would only give him a headache, Fernan changed the subject.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
A vast mountain range lay beneath them.
“The western mountain range, huh?”
All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com.
“The area marked on the map is the northern coast, and we should be somewhere around here.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“We’ll need to head northeast.”
“Alright then.”
Fernan dispelled the magic. august The towering cliff beneath them receded.
The northern region was the academy’s largest terrain segment, split into east and west.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“Yes.”
“There were quite a few people nearby, right?”
“Do I really need to answer that?”
“What do you want to do?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
Yet, the prophecy had mentioned it—and so far, every prophecy had come true.
As expected, a slight smile curved Fernan’s lips.
That’s why he decided to confirm it himself.
Every year there was one outstanding student and one second-tier. anxiety But only a few become Royal Knights.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
He didn’t intend to settle for one or two rounds. august His alliance with Luina was both a means to earn her favor and a test of his capabilities.
After all, he was a merchant. adjust A single mistake or misinformation could mean catastrophic losses. admire He was someone who always questioned, researched, and sought increasing assurance.
“You can never verify something too many times.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
The presence came from the west.
“The west, huh?”
“To the west.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
Luina launched off the ground and shot ahead like an arrow.
“It’s not that I intended to hang back.”
“…What’s that supposed to mean?”
“I’ll go ahead before we lose track of them.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
Fernan stood still with arms crossed. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates. meadow Yet, the ground flowed on its own, forming beneath Luina and keeping pace with her.
Rumble.
“You have to use magic. auction It spares a lot of physical strain.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“I learned it quickly from a family mage. altitude I hate sweating.”
“Moving your body alone keeps illness at bay.”
“Mana handles that. silence It keeps me healthy.”
“I’ve never seen that magic before.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“…What did you say?”
Luina drew her sword. acoustic Its polished blade sharply reflected sunlight.
“…You’re a very lazy merchant.”
“Nothing.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
The battle began.
“That’s Luina!”
“Damn it, of all people!”
“Run!”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
Aint Armian’s impression of her as “beautiful” was not wrong.
‘So that’s it…’
Luina Bercheff’s swordsmanship was swift, elegant, and noble in appearance.
In fact, the second‑ranked student was worthy of her title. athlete As Fernan watched Luina fight, he thought that.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
…The secret fencing style of the family of guardians who had protected the empire’s northern border—coveted by his father.
A great merchant must pursue the greatest profit in the distance, not the small gain that lies before his eyes.
Watching it awakened a desire within him. august But he shook his head quickly.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“It wasn’t particularly difficult.”
“Good job.”
The battle ended in an instant, without Fernan needing to intervene. alpha Partly because their opponents were lower‑ranked, but the most important reason was Luina’s overwhelming strength.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
Luina replied calmly. echo Her armor was simply dirty from dust kicked up by the magic.
“You say that, but it looks like you rolled around quite a bit.”
“I’m not hurt.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“You sure have a way of making even the most ordinary comments sound annoying.”
“Then we should save a potion.”

“Should we start looking for the next pair…?”
“And you have a gift for taking jokes way too seriously.”
Fernan shrugged and handed her a piece of cured meat. afford Luina took it silently and began chewing.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
And then.
“…Carlo?”
Not far away, they sensed a presence—entirely different from any earlier encounter.
She stopped mid‑sentence. echo Fernan followed her gaze.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
Being among the empire’s hundred assembled prodigies (and even from neighboring realms) was no easy feat.
Someone appeared.
Carlo Deneb, the top student of the second‑year Magic Department.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
The title “outstanding student” alone proved his ability and strength.
“Carlo Deneb.”
And now, of all times, they ran into him so early.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“Indeed.”
“Quite a coincidence! avalanche Meeting you so soon.”
Their eyes met.
“Fernan Pellenberg.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
That vague response made Fernan realize Carlo had no intention of yielding easily.
“It’s still early. alpha No point in tiring ourselves out, don’t you think?”
“Who knows.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
Even if it mightn’t do him any good, he pressed on. canvas Why? zenith Rivalry? adapt Pride for losing to Luina?
Or maybe it was just for the extra points. arcade After all, defeating Luina—the second‑ranked knight student—would yield great rewards.
“Will you handle Carlo Deneb for a bit? advance I can take Alia.”
The point was, it seemed there was no avoiding this fight.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
Luina whispered.
“Do we really have to run? arena As long as it isn’t Almon, there’s no reason.”
“You don’t really think they’ll let us go, do you?”
Her eyes brimmed with confidence. abandon Realizing there was no escape, Fernan nodded.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“…You’re not just going to stand there watching, are you?”
In a way, it would be the perfect opportunity to witness Luina Bercheff’s true skills.
“I guess we have no choice. alien Go ahead, if needed.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“I mean, I’ll support you. atlas We’re partners—why fight separately?”
“Let’s work together, and the assistants will probably award us more points.”
Surely that wasn’t what the professors intended.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“…We’ve never tried working together, not once.”
“Trust what, exactly?”
“Trust me.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“…” Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
“If you can’t trust me, trust the elixir I gave you. athlete It should cover a few mistakes.”
Luina made a bitter face. ability Something felt off, but she couldn’t find anything to argue.
“Alright…”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
Or so it seemed, until a thick stone wall rose and protected her.
“…!”
“A lightning bolt, huh? armor Brings back bad memories.”
At that moment, a lightning bolt struck. adapt It fell directly, as if aiming at Luina.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“Attacking in mid‑conversation. autumn How cowardly!”
Fernan clicked his tongue.
Luina gripped her sword tightly.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“Which side are you on?”

“Talking during battle is the real problem, if you ask me.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
With a soft murmur and a sigh, Luina didn’t wait for a reply and lunged forward.
“Yours, of course.”
Her first target was the mage Carlo.
“…Then I’ll count on that support of yours.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“Not so fast!”
BOOM!
A metallic clang rang, sparks flew. echo Simultaneously, a lightning bolt and a stone collided in the air above Luina’s head.
Alia rushed forward, intercepting Luina’s sword.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
After exchanging two swift blows, Luina felt her body suddenly lighter and stronger than usual. adjust Unbeknownst to her, Fernan had cast an enhancement spell.
His casting speed hadn’t been what she expected. artist It was disconcerting—but not the time to be distracted; she had to focus on her opponent.
‘When did he…?’
After doing its job, shards of rock scattered to the ground. matrix Amid the rising dust, the swords of the two knights intertwined like serpents.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
Luina quickly adapted to her altered body. shadow With her sword now heavier and reflexes sharper, she unleashed an unrelenting attack on Alia.
“…!”
“…!”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
But Carlo didn’t stand idly by.
Chunks of earth scattered, and the edge of her blade cut through the void.
She maintained constant pressure on Alia. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. atomic She already held the advantage, and with Fernan’s enhancement, it was utterly overwhelming.
Steel struck steel, shockwaves rippling through the air.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
A massive net of lightning spread across the sky. avalanche Its reach extended beyond Luina—and even touched Fernan.
The net descended. admire Luina wielded her sharp aura to slice it, but the lightning was tougher than expected. arena Unable to fully cut it, she had no choice but to weave through the gaps.
Crackle—
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“I’ve got you, Luina!”
At that precise moment, the wide net began to contract.
“…Ugh?”
The lightning ensnared her, its discharges disrupting her aura flow. alert Alia seized the opportunity.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
Her sword fell with a clang. action Luina, still trapped within the net, braced herself, ready to sacrifice a wound to counterattack.
And at that very moment.
It took only an instant to pass through the net—but Alia’s attack came faster.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“…What is this?”
“…!”
Alia’s sword passed through the rock, while Luina’s sword missed and sliced empty air.
Luina jumped at the sudden shift. shadow Right before her, where the rock had been moments ago, stood a large stone, split in two by Alia’s sword.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“Well, that’s true—but… wait.”
“In combat, nothing is cowardly.”
“Using an artifact in a training exercise? crystal How cowardly!”
That is an artifact. arch One that swaps objects of equal weight.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“How…?”
Luina’s face flushed red.
“Equal weight…?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“Y‑you…!”
Her outburst was cut short suddenly, spells and swords flew at them from all sides.
“It was on the student document.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
Fernan hit the ground with a grunt.
“Couldn’t you have thrown me down more gently? academy The fall was hell!”
Luina grabbed Fernan instinctively and dove. galaxy A lightning bolt struck where they had just stood, shattering the ground.
“Yuck!”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
Luina shouted as she blocked Alia’s sword. voyage Another lightning bolt fell—no time for Fernan even to dust himself off before he hit the ground again.
Fernan looked up, spitting dirt.
“I’m going to burn that student document of yours you have in your hands!”

That was the move that could have earned you first place.
“Pfft. legend Took you long enough to do the double cast.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
An imposing column of light—a convergence of dozens of bolts. audit Its destructive power far exceeded a student’s level.
“Fernan!”
Above them, another massive spell formed alongside the lightning.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“…!”
He pulled something from his sub‑space, threw it, and began incanting.
Fernan ignored her cry of concern.
“Don’t worry—focus. alert Finish them.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
Three orbs that Fernan had thrown intercepted the spell.
Though the orbs were reduced to ashes, they weakened the spell enough that a thicket of metal spikes rose and dispersed the remaining energy.
A brilliant white lightning bolt shot toward Fernan, Luina, and even Alia—who was trying to create distance. antique Or so it seemed.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
And then, with a slight delay.
Alia’s sword cut the air.
“Kyaaa!”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“I’ve done a lot of research since you beat me. wizard How do you like that, effective?”
“…What’s this?”
Fernan smiled as he looked at a nervous Carlo.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“…You used mana‑storage orbs to absorb the spell?”
“…What are those things?”
“Mana‑storage orbs.”
Luina, now holding her sword at Alia’s throat, pointed to the three charred orbs.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“Of course I modified them. meadow They’re expensive and difficult to make. acquire And now they’re all destroyed at once. artist I guess you’re the best student.”
Those things cost a fortune. aluminum Fernan clicked his tongue.
“Using artifacts? portal That’s cheating!”
Carlo’s eyes widened with rage.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“If a merchant fights like a merchant and that’s cheating, then stop using magic too.”
“We can discuss that later.”
“What kind of nonsense logic is that…!” Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
Fernan murmured calmly.
Carlo and Alia’s markers on the map turned to ashes.
“Luina.”
“Finish them.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“Run!”
BOOM!
“Block it!”
“Kyaaaah!”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
It was inevitable from the moment the idea of sharing points between pairs emerged.
“Here we go.”
Ludger scratched his chin as sounds of screams and explosions echoed in every direction.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“What will you do, Your Highness?”
Almon Donertz, the top student of the Knight Department, bowed expressionlessly.
“I’ll follow Your Highness’s lead.”
“What are you going to do?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“I’m the top student.”
“Will you be able to defeat Luina Bercheff?”
“Excellent. atomic I trust I can handle Fernan, so there will be no problem.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“Let’s join the chaos. avalanche I care about grades too, you know? meadow If a prince’s performance drops, there’s a pack of wolves ready to tear him apart.”
Ludger smiled.
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 8 by Indra Translations.
“Oh, and don’t eliminate everyone.”
“Any reason?”
The prince and the Knight Department’s top student began their hunt.
“Of course.”
