Chapter 80
“But are they really demonic beasts? canvas Weren’t they wiped out more than a thousand years ago?”
“No wonder. echo They estimate at least ten thousand beasts and monsters—can you imagine? voyage Ten thousand… does that even make sense?”
“The Empire is holding up well, but it seems the Kingdom is faring worse than expected.”
The sudden surge of monsters was enough to chill the festive atmosphere that had filled the academy.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
“That’s not the point.”
Whenever the students gathered, the conversation turned to war.
“Not exactly a thousand. antenna After the fall of the Great King Colomo at the hands of the First Emperor, the remaining demonic beasts were hunted down for over a hundred years.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
“I don’t know, but according to rumors, they’re considering sending some students to gain real combat experience.”
“I heard we might even be sent to the battlefield.”
Perhaps because many of them belonged to influential families, the rumors spreading by word of mouth were surprisingly accurate.
“What are you talking about? wizard Why us?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
“Among the things being said, there’s a lot of exaggeration—but at least one thing is true.”
When those words left Professor Grad’s mouth, Fernan knew the moment had come.
“You’ve all probably heard of the great monster horde that broke out in the Taklakan Desert.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
──!
The professor gently touched his crystal orb, and a recorded projection appeared above it.
A monster’s deafening roar rang out, shattering eardrums.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
It showed a vast plain, overrun with creatures charging at full speed.
It was a battlefield.
Not a tale from the past or a vision of the future—these were scenes of the present.
Corpses strewn everywhere, and smoking ramparts in the distance.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
Sending students to hunt monsters was nothing new.
But never before had they been dispatched to a frontline where monsters, humans, and demonic beasts clashed on the same battlefield.
“You will be going to the front.”
If his eyes weren’t deceiving him, Fernan recognized those ramparts—they were the defenses of Altrioque.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
What the rector sought was to prepare soldiers for the great war to come—not to rack up meaningless deaths of inexperienced cadets.
“Details are in the leaflets being distributed by the aides.”
“Of course, not everyone. amateur Only volunteers, and only those who meet the requirements.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
“……”
“Any questions?”
At that moment, assistants began handing out the guides.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
Class ended.
“If not, you’re dismissed. aspect The application deadline is in three days at noon. apron Read the requirements carefully and don’t do anything foolish. academy That’s all for today. portal Dismissed.”
***
The announcement for volunteer recruitment was posted throughout the academy.

Fernan gathered those connected to him and to the Book of Prophecies Aint, Luina, Aria—and Verian as well.
With the Book of Prophecies already failing several times, he didn’t want to introduce more variables.
He would’ve liked to include Jace, but held back.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
In response to the question of whether they wanted to join the front, Luina was the first to speak.
“I want to go.”
In truth, it wasn’t just critical—it was desperate.
“Fernan, as you know, our land is in a critical state.” All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

Demonic beasts.
Marquis Bercheff, who governed the borderlands, had discovered the cause behind the last monster wave that ravaged his territory.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
That’s why Luina was determined.
The monster wave would soon become a wave of demonic beasts, and what followed would be even more terrifying than before.
Frightened, the monsters had been driven from their territory and began to invade human lands.
In other words, it was a new calamity foretold.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
What was happening in Altrioque now was the same as what had already happened in Bercheff before.
“I think it’s a good chance to prepare in advance.”
Not just because what was happening in Altrioque felt close to home, but because the pride of the Bercheff family dictated that even in the face of calamity, their duty was to fight and protect—not flee.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
“Hmm, I want to go too. academy I’m scared, but after facing Andromalius, I don’t think there’s any point in running.”
“Aint Armian, what will you do?”
And also—for what would be her future.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
“I’ll go too. admire I’m still frustrated.”
“Frustrated?”
Fernan nodded slightly. altitude Truthfully, he had already assumed Aint would participate.
The Book of Prophecies said so, and he himself had seen the courage with which Aint stood against the demon Andromalius despite his fear.

“…Can’t you speak without picking a fight with me?”
“Unlike the others, I didn’t get knocked out in one hit. abstract This time, I’ll show you all.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
“It was easy for me.”
“No, it wasn’t easy at all. armor It was humiliating. audit In Elven, I was seen as an unparalleled genius, but here—against the seniors—I was just another elf!”
“Now that you mention it, how did Carlo win?”
“Easy?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
“That’s why I’ve trained harder since then. acid And it seems to have paid off. action Plus, he was much weaker than that demon.”
The battle against Andromalius had been a shock to her.
While three had stood their ground until the end, she had been among those knocked unconscious—like Verian.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
“Carlo is stronger than I am.”
“Weaker? ability If Wooden enters the fight, I’m surrendering right away.”
But that wasn’t true. athlete Fernan could confirm that.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
“In tournaments, you’re not allowed to use them.”
“Wooden doesn’t count as part of my strength.”
“Then what—are knights or mages who use artifacts weaklings?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
It was unexpected, but not a bad thing.
“Maybe that’s why it all seemed so boring to me. audit After fighting a demon, everything else feels like child’s play.”
After all, Aria was recognized in the Book of Prophecies as one of Aint’s companions.
The shock of having been knocked unconscious had affected her so much that her entire focus now revolved around Andromalius.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
Having more main forces to face the demons was always welcome.
“I’ll go too.”
‘I just hope Carlo doesn’t go astray because of this.’
Fernan clicked his tongue and shook off his thoughts. harbor He wasn’t in a position to worry about another young man’s future.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
“But will we really be allowed to go? atom There hasn’t been any official order for first-years.”
Verian gave a reason similar to Aria’s.
Even though the Academy valued real-world experience and often sent students to various places, in principle, first-years weren’t permitted to take part in things like this.

‘Even if he didn’t believe all the legends about Armian, preparing someone who could assist Aint isn’t that hard.’
But the rector was no fool. portal He knew very well how important Aint Armian’s growth would be in the fight against the demons.
“You’ll be allowed.”
A mage is always someone who prepares. arch And an archmage, like the rector, understood better than anyone the value of Aint in a world where demons had reappeared.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
The delay in deciding for the first-years likely stemmed from needing to convince the rest of the academy’s leadership.
Even as rector, he couldn’t decide everything on his own.
It wasn’t enough to protect him like a child.
“Here.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
“What’s this…?”
Fernan turned the first page, and the four students did the same.
“These are the student deployment plans. silence How many, where, and how they’ll be sent—all detailed.”
At Fernan’s signal, his aides handed over several documents.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
“As you might expect, only the top ten from each year are eligible.”
“First and second years will be grouped together, and third and fourth years will form another group. abstract The academy assessed their levels separately.”
And rightly so—these were demonic beasts. airport The mediocre wouldn’t even dare raise their hands.
The first and second years would be sent to Altrioque, where the danger was relatively lower.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
“The first and second years will move together under the supervision of two instructors: from the Knight Department, Knight Grad Xanth; and from the Magic Department, Rosalia Vienderk.”
Meanwhile, the third and fourth years would be deployed to Count Molton’s territory, which was barely holding out—sheltering refugees from two fallen territories, protected only by the barrier of the Elector Princes. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
The Empire had already sent reinforcements, but anyone could see the difference between a front with fortress walls and one without was vast.

“Departure is exactly three days from now.”
The rest was just secondary details, but that was the core of it.
“Any questions?”
And he added.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
“Is this fake?”
Fernan narrowed his eyes.
A redheaded elf tilted her head suspiciously.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
“You’ve spent too much time shut away in the forest—you know one thing and not the next.”
“Didn’t you say the first-year decision hadn’t been made yet? shadow Then how do you already have such a detailed plan? sphere If you got something impossible to obtain, that means you’re lying.”
“Fake?”
But then she let out a bitter laugh.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
What—wasn’t the academy not a dictatorship? portal Didn’t it have decision-making bodies?
“Listen closely, Aria. adapt What matters is that the rector’s will is clear. silence That alone is enough.”
“Eh?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
“An archmage is that kind of person. acid When the rector gives an opinion, it stops being opinion and becomes law. orbit Following the proper legal process is just theater to show respect for the Empire’s laws.”
So what? athlete Not even all the academy’s administrators combined could equal the authority of the rector.
“Isn’t that a total disaster?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
“…Then how did you get this plan? afford It should still be confidential.”
“The Empire is, from the start, a class-based society.”
“The rector gave it to me.”
“What?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
“Aria, in this world, there’s nothing that can’t be bought with money.”
He hadn’t received it directly, but through an intermediary—but it made no difference.

“…Then why?”
“Are you saying the rector sold it?”
“The rector wouldn’t move for mere pocket change.”
“Because the Pellenbergs are the largest sponsor of the Imperial Academy of Armian.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
Aria realized the truth and stared at Fernan in disbelief.
Next to her, Luina simply shook her head while already unwrapping another piece of chocolate.
***
“Ah…”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
Fernan looked at the gold medal Luina was shaking in front of him and at her excited expression. acquire He couldn’t help but feel a touch of nostalgia.
“See this?”
‘Now, there’ll be no future where Luina and Aint end up as enemies and she falls into ruin.’
The fact that she’d stayed behind alone with him just to show it off meant all his efforts hadn’t been in vain. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

And that was enough.
But the bond they had built since the first semester wouldn’t break easily.
Of course, who knew what the demons might try—they could still attempt to divide them again.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
That’s why his smile this time was more human than usual.
“Yes, I see it.”
“Ah…”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
“No… nothing. album It’s just… this is…”
“What is it?”
Luina stared at him, eyes slightly wide.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
“That’s right! wizard I can’t believe I have it! apron And all thanks to you!”
It was a solid gold medallion, engraved with the Schwaben imperial eagle.
“I know. meadow It’s the medal you won at the jousting tournament, presented directly by the Emperor.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
“Thank you, truly. auction If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have achieved it in my second year.”
“Congratulations. zenith I never imagined you’d actually beat Rob Kaelin and take the victory.”
Luina nodded, though by emphasizing “second year,” she made it clear she believed she would’ve achieved it eventually regardless.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
If the future Royal Knight couldn’t at least win a medal like that, the demons would never have feared the Empire.
‘Well, I can’t say I’m surprised.’
“But I didn’t expect you to come show it off like this.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
“So, you kept your promise?”
“I promised, remember?”
Ah, yes. adopt He had asked her to win—to protect his investment.
A promise.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
“A knight never breaks her word.”
Fernan chuckled softly and reached into his pocket. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
“Today, you look more like a knight than a mage. anxiety Maybe you should’ve been a knight from the start.”
Luina’s face turned solemn.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
“And since you kept your promise, it’s only fair you get your reward.”
“I didn’t do it expecting anything in return. accent Winning was more than enough…”

But Fernan popped something into her mouth before she could object. acoustic A wave of cold sweetness left her frozen.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
“And expensive. arch But you earned it. alert As promised, I’ll calculate its value and deduct it from your debt.”
“…What is this?”
“Ice chocolate with crystal flakes, made in the northern kingdom of Grunard, in tiny batches for royalty and high nobility. riddle They say it won’t melt for a month even at room temperature.”
“…It’s delicious.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
“I hope not. august I hope you never forget it.”
“And look at this! acoustic A sword I picked from the academy’s armory—its edge rivals the best weapons of my house…”
Fernan handed her an elegant box with more ice chocolates.
“Thank you. agent I won’t forget this debt.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
Luina went on for quite a while, showing off her sword, the imperial potion she received, and other prizes, before finally leaving.
Ah.
‘Since when was Luina so talkative?’
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
Besides, Fernan was already planning to lend her a supreme-grade weapon forged by the Golden Turtle Guild—even if it wasn’t legendary.
He’d forgotten to ask her to search for the hidden inheritance the First Emperor had left for her.
‘Well, it’s not that important.’
In the original story, Aint didn’t obtain it in his first year either.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
“Wow, I didn’t know the young master was so close to Luina Bercheff.”
“She’s my partner.”
Gert appeared, joking, as he entered the secret chamber.
“Didn’t seem like a simple partnership. palette Looked more like sparks of affection flying around…”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
If he’d taken money, then he had to follow through.
“What if I say no?”
“You’re joining the deployment too.”
“That would be ridiculous.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
“Alright, if you say so. canvas Though to be honest, I’m curious. apple Demonic beasts! adjust Haven’t been seen in a thousand years, right?”
“Don’t get too excited. avalanche This is just the beginning.”
“Tell Neria too.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
And then, Fernan wondered what had become of Gert in the original story.
He thought about it for a few seconds and realized it was a pointless concern.
“True.”
“Which is exactly why we should go. ability Having the experience of fighting them—or not—will make a big difference.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
“See you later.”
“I’ll be off, then.”
‘I’m sure he lived well. arctic My father already sacrificed a lot abandoning me—there’s no way he’d do the same to Gert and Neria.’
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
“…Anyway, the potions and gear will be supplied from across the Empire, so there’s no profit there. anxiety Instead of selling, it’s time to buy.”
Once Gert left, Fernan picked up paper and pen and wrote two words:
“Altrioque” and “Demonic beasts.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 80 by Indra Translations.
War brings money.
“Unlike demons, these creatures leave behind corpses. sphere If I collect them all—both monsters and demonic beasts…”
“Most people will see it as contaminated trash, tainted by miasma. arctic But if I say I’m handling the disposal of that trash, and keep it all for free…”
Fernan began plotting every possible way to profit from it.
