A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

“Fight!”

“Where are we going to run? crystal We’re in the middle of the sea!”

“Run! abandon Everyone run!”

“Why are there so many monsters?”

“…What the hell is this?”

— Don’t draw your sword.

The deck was hell.

The sea worms lunged forward, the ship rocked, and the students were plunged into chaos.

Of course, since it was a rule imposed by the students themselves, it wasn’t strictly enforced.

‘I know that…!’

Officially, carrying weapons was forbidden in the Yacht Club.

With a “boom,” the head exploded, and the creature’s body fell back into the sea.

Aint wrapped his hands in aura and struck hard at the head of a sea worm that opened its disgusting maw.

But with the blood of princes and elector families among them, the rules felt weightier than simple school regulations.

“Kill them all!”

“Don’t use fire magic, you idiots!”

“Keep them from boarding!”

“They’re just many! canvas Don’t lose focus!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

Though at first the students didn’t know how to react, one by one they began regaining composure and started slaughtering the sea worms.

The ocean setting, the sudden appearance, and the sheer number of approaching creatures—hundreds, thousands—were enough to trigger panic.

And it wasn’t just Aint.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

Thanks to the academy’s philosophy, focused on real combat, these students had faced countless monsters. atomic They were capable of acting as real fighters on a battlefield.

But in reality, a single sea worm wasn’t particularly strong.

At a glance, the sea worms looked like they could cover the entire ocean, but each time one made it onto the deck, it was sent back into the sea—where it met its end.

And those present were all top-ranking students from the academy.

Their saliva had corrosive properties, which even dissolved the magic circles embedded in the ship.

The problem was that as they climbed, the sea worms were gradually corroding the hull.

“Keep them from wearing down the ship’s hull!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“The Knight Department will take the front. audit Don’t overdo it, you’re unarmed.”

“The deck isn’t the problem. ability Stop them from getting near the ship at all!”

Little by little, the vessel was losing resistance against the waves.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

And the one who began to stand out amidst the orders and chaos was Ludger Schwaben.

“Don’t even let them stick to the ship! alert If it sinks—”

“The Magic Department will support the knights. audit Limit the use of fire and lightning magic…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

But Fernan wasn’t worried. avalanche If it were just sea worms, the ship would never sink.

He quickly took command, and thanks to his status and clear directives, the students had no objections.

“They’re holding out better than I expected.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fwooooshhh—!

And it didn’t take long for the moment he’d been waiting for to arrive.

Beyond the sea worms, a whirlpool rose powerfully.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“A monster!”

Like a torrential downpour, it splashed everywhere before vanishing.

Through that space, a massive creature emerged.

“…What the hell is that?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

…Fernan’s smile.

The students’ screams mixed with—

“Finally, it’s here.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

A gigantic sea serpent devoured the worms as it charged toward more appetizing prey.

“It’s a sea serpent!”

— Wake up! zenith Come on, wake up!

***

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

— Did you survive all this time just to die to something like this?

— I said wake up!

Aint’s foggy mind began to surface from the abyss thanks to the relentless shouting.

The freezing water was causing his body temperature to drop dangerously.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

The vibration of the pendant shaking fiercely dispelled the darkness like a fading dream. arctic Aint opened his eyes.

Icy sea.

‘…Where am I?’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

The voice that had roused him sighed in relief.

— You finally woke up?

Around him floated the corpses of sea worms and the fish feeding on them.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Puaaah…!”

Using his aura for support, Aint swam with difficulty but urgency toward the surface.

Breathing was hard.

— Get up right now. avalanche If you stay there, you’ll die.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

The first thing he did was scan the surroundings, but apart from some wreckage that looked like parts of the ship, there was no sign of the vessel anywhere.

“…What the hell happened?”

He held his breath and then released it with a gasp.

— Don’t you remember what happened last?

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…The last thing?”

The sudden appearance of the Sea Serpent—a massive creature over ten meters long, known as the king of the ocean.

Then, he remembered.

The students tried to stop its charge with magic, but it was useless. crystal The ship, already weakened by the Sea Worms, couldn’t withstand the impact and split in two.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

And though the students had been startled, they weren’t so incompetent as to waste the opportunity. autumn The Sea Serpent was swiftly fatally wounded by the combined assault of dozens of high-level students from the academy.

However, it didn’t die quietly. arctic The battle was fierce, and Aint ended up being hit by the monster’s breath right before losing consciousness.

“…How am I still alive?”

The only stroke of luck was that the Sea Serpent slipped through the crack between both halves of the ship.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

If not for the sword you carry—the one holding the first Royal Knight—it was a safeguard left by the first emperor.

— Under normal circumstances, you’d be dead. ability You partially froze from the Sea Serpent’s icy breath and sank into the sea.

Freezing to death and becoming an ice statue would’ve been the most likely outcome.

— I protected you. audit I dispersed the Sea Serpent’s breath and maintained your body temperature so you wouldn’t die in the water.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

— This sword doesn’t just house my soul. arrow It’s a fully equipped tool created to assist the heir in the future.

“…It’s far more incredible than I thought.”

Until now, he had only considered it a solid sword with a spirit inside.

“…That’s even possible?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

— There’s an island nearby. acquire Head there. ability I don’t even want to imagine running into monsters in the open sea.

It was a reminder that facing demons wasn’t something to take lightly.

— Your enemies aren’t just humans trying to unify the continent. academy They’re demons. admire So this is just the basics.

“…I’ll keep that in mind.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Understood.”

“Haah… haah…”

Fortunately, it wasn’t too far.

Aint swam for a long time until he finally reached the island.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

After the battle and the long swim, his aching body was at its limit.

“…I’m alive.”

— There’s someone over there.

Collapsed on the shore, he gasped for air.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

The worn uniforms bore the symbol of a golden turtle.

“Golden Turtle Company crew…?”

Not far away, two people were passed out on the beach.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yeah.”

— Looks like sailors from the ship. abandon Check if they’re alive.

Aint dragged himself over to them, rolled them over, and checked for breathing.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Luckily, they’re—”

— Aint, watch out!

That’s when it happened.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

Both men’s eyes snapped open.

They were already gripping daggers, which flew straight for his chest and throat.

“…!”

─!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

Aint fell back immediately, but his weakened body wasn’t quick enough.

One of the daggers barely grazed his shoulder, but the other went for his chest.

There was an impact, but no wound.

Clang!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

Another dagger flew at him an instant later.

— Grab me!

Gardner’s sword moved on its own and blocked the dagger. altitude Aint rolled backward and grabbed the sword, which had already returned to its original form.

─!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Tch.”

— It’s a typical assassin style. acoustic They’re not just crew. afford They’re professionally trained killers.

──!

Their attacks were swift, precise, and deadly. atlas Most importantly, they left no room for retreat.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

Aint was overwhelmed by their unrelenting offensive.

That brought a new danger.

“…This…”

He had no experience and wasn’t prepared. arch His fighting became purely defensive, and minor wounds started piling up.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

— Poison! meadow Channel your aura through the sword. antique I don’t know how strong it is, but it’ll help purify it.

His head was spinning.

“Got it.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

— You really think all this is a coincidence?

He did as Gardner instructed, and the poison began to dissipate. auction Color slowly returned to his face, which alarmed the assassins who had assumed he’d been poisoned.

That brief hesitation gave Aint just enough time to catch his breath.

— A monster attack splits the ship, you swim to an island, and assassins with poisoned weapons are waiting?

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

Some of them have the power to control monsters.

Gardner finally noticed the detail that had been bothering him.

— It makes no sense for someone to use sea monsters to kill you… unless they’re demons.

— Demons. adjust They’re finally moving to eliminate you.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…High-ranking demons?”

The pressure turned more intense, more vile. auction A repulsive, nauseating black aura exploded around them.

The idea of demons directly taking action stunned him. apron And that murmur triggered a shift in the assassins’ aura.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

Aint had never felt anything like it before, but there was no other way to describe it.

— Demon magic! accent They’re not even trying to hide it.

“…Am I going to survive this?”

It was pure hatred, rot, and evil.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

Between the injuries, the poison, and his exhaustion, he wasn’t in shape to fight.

— It’s not a matter of surviving. athlete You must survive!

He swallowed hard.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

Just as the assassins unleashed their demonic magic and charged—

— You bear the name of Armian! shadow Are you going to die to demon scum?!

White aura surrounded his sword.

──!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Luina, senior?”

Then, a wave of sand rose from the ground and swallowed the enemies.

A dark shadow intervened. accent A single clean strike dispersed both attacks.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

A mage approached with his hands behind his back and a bored expression.

“Are you alright, Aint Armian?”

She wasn’t alone.

“How did you get here…?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

The faces of the restrained assassins were now visible.

“They’re wearing company uniforms, but…”

“They don’t look familiar.”

The sand floated, quivering.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“……”

“Who are you people?”

The ones who caused their fall. amber Fernan’s face turned grim.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

They didn’t answer. arcade They just swelled up.

“……”

“They’re going to self-destruct!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was self-destruction magic. portal By colliding the mana in their magic core, they triggered an explosion. aluminum In this case, demon magic.

Luina rushed toward them, but wasn’t fast enough.

“It’s dangerous!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

— Damn lunatics…!

“Noooo!”

A black explosion engulfed Fernan and Luina.

───!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

But when the smoke cleared, the scene was surprisingly calm.

Aint and Gardner screamed.

Fernan was still standing, unmoved. atom Beside him, Luina radiated powerful aura.

“Don’t worry.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I expected this.”

Several barriers surrounded them.

After all, he’d already read the prophecy.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Are you alright?”

“…Yes, I’m fine.”

Fernan scoffed.

“How touching. matrix Running in to shield me like that.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“But this isn’t over yet.”

“…We’re teammates, aren’t we?”

“Huh?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

A deafening roar shook the coast. aluminum The gigantic creature that had destroyed the ship appeared again.

She didn’t get to ask more.

─────!

Only this time, there were two of them.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Take on…?”

“Are you insane? alert Why do something so reckless?”

“The Sea Serpent.”

“…I’ll take one.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What?”

“Let’s run.”

Fighting a Sea Serpent at sea was suicide. athlete Unless it was absolutely necessary, there was no reason to.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Where was that setup on the island…?’

If it came to it, Aint could handle it alone. audit There was no need to take unnecessary risks.

Instead of answering, Fernan used the sand to lift Aint and bolted.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

***

Meanwhile, not far from there.

Luina ran after them.

“W-wait for me!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’m number 19 in the Department of Knights…”

Though she wasn’t in the top 10, she was still among the best. abstract And yet, her task was just to record.

Bella, still confused by what had happened and infected with demonic magic, was recording everything with a high-end artifact.

“…Is this really okay?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

She almost ran toward them when the assassins self-destructed. atom But when two Sea Serpents appeared, roaring…

“…Yeah, better stick to recording.”

“…A-are they going to be okay?!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

…At least until they decided to run first.

She had absolutely no intention of fighting them. absorb Even so, she gripped her sword with one hand, ready to run.

“…Huh?”
