“It’s been a good deal.”

“We’ve also been able to experience firsthand the greatness of the Golden Turtle Guild.”

Professor Grad had more than fulfilled his role. matrix He had served as an effective bridge, allowing Fernan to close the contract just as he intended.

1. amateur Party A will have priority in the sale of vessels within the academy (including boats, ships, cruises, etc.) for the next 20 years.

Fernan and the vice-rector exchanged their copies of the contract and shook hands.

With this, the sea dragon’s corpse became the full property of the Golden Turtle Guild.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

There were many more clauses in the contract, but those three were the key points.

3. silence Party B commits to…

2. arena Party A will sell certain by-products of the sea dragon to Party B at reasonable prices.

In addition, it would grant the guild priority in the sale of vessels within the academy for the next twenty years. acid And the guild would sell the dragon’s by-products to the academy at a fair price.

The first point was obvious. aluminum The second was one of Fernan’s demands. sphere And in exchange for that demand, the academy offered the third clause.

‘Perfect. academy Everything I wanted is included.’

The academy would sell the sea dragon’s corpse to the Golden Turtle Guild.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

But now was the time to take a step back to pursue greater profit.

‘A magical creature’s corpse always sells better if it hasn’t been dismantled.’

Buying the corpse at a high price and then selling the by-products cheaply would’ve been idiotic in any other context.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘They’re probably wondering why the hell I want something as useless as priority in such a minor naval business.’

But Fernan knew exactly how big the naval business in the academy would become.

From the academy’s perspective, obtaining cheap by-products in exchange for something as trivial as priority rights to a small naval business was a great deal.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Good job? acid Bah, it’s not like it’s my first time signing a contract.”

“Good job.”

Nobody lost. arena It was a reasonable deal for both sides.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

The reason the contract specified “priority in sales” instead of “exclusive rights” was because he still hadn’t gotten his father’s approval.

After closing the satisfying deal, Fernan stretched broadly to ease the tension in his body.

Until the issue exploded, there was no solid justification to convince him.

“The board is set. anchor Now I just need to get my father’s permission.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘An option that won’t cause trouble even if something goes wrong, and the best I could get for now.’

Thus was born the “priority in sales” clause.

But giving up a business that was pure gold wasn’t an acceptable option for Fernan either.

“How’s the work going?”

After all, it was just a priority right, not an immediate obligation.
He could postpone the rest until the prophecy issue came to light.

That meant the recording devices had been set up on the cruise ship that would be the site of the Yacht Club.

“We’ve finished the installation.”

“Left it on your desk.”

“The staff list?”

“Any problems?”

With that, they could monitor every move of the degenerates.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

From the beginning, they were monsters that had nearly destroyed the continent a thousand years ago. portal There was no room for complacency.

“As expected.”

If they were that easy to spot, they wouldn’t be demons—they’d be idiots.

“We didn’t find anything unusual.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Well, in any case, we have an ace up our sleeve.”

I trust you, the book of prophecies, and the first emperor who foresaw all this and left behind his legacy.

Aint Armian, the hero recognized by the book of prophecies.

‘I’m counting on you, Aint Armian.’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan’s role was simple.

‘Because that’s how you protect money.’

Avoid being seen as an enemy by Aint, support him appropriately, and lead everything to a happy ending.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

“For now, I better go check out the ship.”

That was the Pellenberg way.

Protect the money… with money.

Seagulls flitted over the coast. canvas The refreshing sound of the waves was accompanied by the strong, salty scent of the sea.

Kiirook, kiirook—

An 80-meter long, 18-meter wide vessel. alert More of a luxury cruise ship than a yacht, perfectly equipped for comfort and parties.

Fernan stood on the deck.

It was lent to nobles as a way to curry favor, to awaken their vanity and sense of power. adjust Thus, what began as a simple social club became a yacht club.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘The more I think about it, the more it hurts. apron I paid quite a lot for this… and it’s going to sink, isn’t it?’

Aint Armian, barely escaping the ship with his last breath, would be swept onto a deserted island where he would fight to the death against the degenerates trying to kill him.

The ship, sailing calmly toward the open sea, would soon encounter a sudden “monster wave.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan had already seen it. album He could prevent it if he wanted to… but had chosen not to.

That was the future foretold by the prophecy.

‘To truly become Aint’s ally, he must know that I rationally acknowledge the existence of demons.’

Only then would questions like “how did you know?” or suspicions of something strange not arise.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

Nothing builds trust like surviving a crisis together.

“Not bad. acoustic Let’s go.”

The best, of course, would be for him to be swept to the island too, to be with Aint during the attack and help him.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I have a source.”

“Yes. arch But… may I ask something?”

“What?”

“Where did you get that information, young master?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I suppose it’s some student at the academy who knows about the corrupt. voyage Most likely from the Cult of the Dragon God. ability Also, you have a good relationship with the saint, Jace.”

“Just because you’re my hands and feet doesn’t mean you need to know everything my head knows.”

“I thought I was your source of information?”

Hyde nodded, as if he had guessed as much.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

“And what will you do afterward?”

“What matters is capturing the corrupt.”

Fernan simply nodded indifferently, saying no more.

Although his guess was entirely wrong, it was the most plausible deduction given his ignorance.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Together with Aint Armian.”

Although, honestly, their goal was so obvious it might not even need explaining.

“Find out. arch How they hid their identity, how they infiltrated… and what their goal is.”

What mattered was tracking them down and capturing their leader.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

The corrupt weren’t demons, but they worshipped them and used their power.

“Well, yes… got to make the most of the investment.”

“Did you think I gave him the Saint bird’s heart for nothing?”

“Why Aint Armian, of all people?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

At that moment, a commotion erupted outside the ship.

“Hmm…?”

Of course, it had to be the hero recognized by the book of prophecies who dealt with them.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

“A letter from the Duke has arrived.”

“What is it?”

“Sir, I was told you were here, so I ran.”

Fernan and Hyde stepped out and saw a guild employee running toward them, panting.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan smiled and took the letter.

[I will support you as you wish.
You are granted the right to use the clan’s facilities and craftsmen, and the funds to acquire the sea dragon’s corpse.

“Oh, finally.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

[Regarding the naval business within the academy, frankly, I don’t see it as profitable.
Still, if you insist that it must be done and that it can work, submit a formal report with details and clear projections.
This is a guild venture, and you are not only my son but also the head of the Golden Turtle Guild’s academy branch.]

Also, you must deliver the promised amount without a single deviation, as per the contract.]

“Perfect!”

In return, you must fully explain how you obtained the mithril and adamantium.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

This too wasn’t a matter between father and son, but a transaction between merchants.

The duke was someone who believed that not even parent and child should co-sign, and that monetary relations should always be clear-cut.

That’s why Fernan had to hand over some mithril and adamantium in return, but the result wasn’t bad.

‘The naval business will have to wait for now.’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘But I’ll soon have an excuse.’

He couldn’t exactly say he’d seen the future, so there was no other way.

When the Yacht Club incident breaks out, the academy will panic and open a new naval combat course.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

It wouldn’t be long.

“Yes. legend I’ll have to return to the mansion during the holidays.”

“So the duke agreed?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I need to meet with Ruina Bercheff.”

Demons or not, during the summer break he planned to lock himself in the workshop with full enthusiasm.

Well, that would be later. legend For now…

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

Perhaps because a small mistake in business can mean huge losses or gains, Fernan Pellenberg was always meticulous in preparation.

Since the unexpected could always happen, his principle was that there’s no such thing as being overprepared.

It was time to move to the next step.

***

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

So…

Battles with sea monsters, prophecies about degenerates.
An unfamiliar battlefield like the ocean, and a future already being twisted by Fernan’s influence.

No one knew how this synergy would alter the original fate.

Hopefully for the better—but he had to consider the possibility it might be worse.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

“An invitation to the Yacht Club.”

“Luina Bercheff, take this.”

“What is it?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

Of course, besides Luina, Fernan had several other students backed by his family, but the more useful cards, the better.

She was one of Fernan’s most reliable cards at the moment. armor Even if something unexpected happened, she could handle it.

He handed her the invitation.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

It wasn’t written anywhere that it was for the top 5%, but those without talent or lineage simply weren’t accepted, so the nickname became common.

“That’s right. alert Only the top 5% of the academy can enter.”

“The Yacht Club… it’s the one I’m thinking of?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

And yet, she had never approached the club. athlete All because of Fernan.

Though the family was half-ruined, the foundation built over a thousand years hadn’t crumbled entirely.

‘I tried to subtly pressure her.’

Originally, Luina Bercheff had more than enough qualifications to be in the club. amber Second in the academy rankings, a member of the elector Bercheff bloodline.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

He wanted to corner her little by little using her debt. arctic Denying her entry into the Yacht Club was part of that strategy.

“Bella’s a member too.”

“Why the sudden change with the Yacht Club? riddle Weren’t you the one who stopped me from joining?”

“…You knew?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You’re not the best person to say that.”

Right. antenna Though she had shown some clumsiness regarding demonic energy, Bella Hoenne had both talent and lineage.

“…Clinging to the past gets you nowhere.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Exactly.”

“It’s true that our current relationship is very different from before. acid It’s not strange for you to give me this now.”

“But I’m giving you an invitation now. abstract Not bad, right? abstract We’re even a couple now.”

Fernan coughed awkwardly and held out the invitation again. orbit Luina looked between him and the card.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

“But I can’t believe you’d do this without a reason. anchor What is it?”

“Does a person need a reason to be nice to someone else?”

Can’t argue with that.

“What’s strange is not having one.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

Under her narrowed gaze, Fernan firmly shook his head.

“So there is another reason.”

“Don’t tell me you actually…”

“Never! anxiety I swear on money that’s not it.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Do you really expect me to believe that?”

Under her sharp gaze, Fernan finally confessed.

“I already told you—an investment in talent.”

“I detected traces of demons. accent They seem to be planning something during this Yacht Club event.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I plan to trap them and capture them, but it’s better to have someone I trust by my side.”

“Your priorities are all wrong.”

Luina cut him off.

“…!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Of course.”

“So, will you go?”

“That’s what you should’ve led with.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Good mindset.”

Indeed, the perfect attitude for someone fated to become the hero Aint’s companion.

She took the invitation.

“I won’t forgive the corrupt who infected Bella. atlas Even if not for that, I won’t let them do as they please.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Bella? action Not yet…”

It had been wise to approach Luina the moment he confirmed the prophecy.

“Speaking of Bella… has she woken up yet?”

Was she really unconscious for a whole day? shadow How much internal damage had Jace caused?

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

The more reliable allies, the better.

“What if we include her too? portal After all, she was the direct victim. artist Once she wakes, she’ll surely want revenge.”

“…Yeah, this is no longer someone else’s problem for Bella either.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 30 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’ll do my best to convince her. armor But if the degenerates scare her and she refuses… tell her this.”

Luina nodded after a moment of thought. avalanche Hesitating to involve her friend in danger was natural, but it seemed she realized there was no turning back.

Fernan began instructing her on how to persuade Bella.
