The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 475 Nari's Arrival, Setting Rules

"Brother, I'm done arranging everything. Just make sure you don't mess up the room, and you'll be fine living in it with a lady," Hanna said as she laid the second bed in Klaus's room.

That bed, of course, belongs to Nari, who was just there to make his life a living hell.

"Thank you, big sis," Klaus said, kissing her forehead.

"Mom told me to take care of you, and that's exactly what I'm going to do. Of course, you can choose to ignore my warnings—but you already know what will happen if you do," Hanna said with a sweet smile that carried a subtle hint of wickedness.

"I promise I won't chase skirts and will focus on training," Klaus sighed.

A few days ago, Hanna had decided to set some ground rules for him. He was only allowed to spend time with his ladies on Saturdays and Sundays.

Weekdays were strictly reserved for lectures, training, and cultivating. Naturally, before implementing these rules, Hanna sat the ladies down and had a talk with them too.

Although they weren't thrilled about the arrangement, their resistance crumbled when Hanna threatened to involve Nari, who had taken a liking to her due to their shared class.

This alliance made the ladies fall in line and accept her terms.

In the end, the overprotective big sister came out victorious.

"What are your schedules today, big sis?" Klaus asked. They had already registered for their lectures, so each would be attending different sessions depending on their elemental talent and class placement.

"I've been challenged by ten people, so I need to head to the duel hall to schedule the matches. After that, I'll attend the Archery lecture before wrapping up for the day," Hanna replied, making Klaus smile.

"Make sure you kick their butts, big sis," Klaus said confidently. He wasn't worried about Hanna losing—somehow, he just knew she would win.

The real question was how people would react when she unleashed her lightning, which was on the verge of awakening.

"What about you, brother? What's your schedule?"

"I have to wait for Nari. After that, I'll head to the Monsters and Beasts Anatomy class," Klaus replied.

"Really?" Hanna's brow furrowed at his response.

"I've heard only a handful of people go to that lecture," she said, clearly puzzled.

She hadn't chosen that class herself, as she didn't see its value—there were plenty of books on that subject, and she doubted the lecture could add much to what she could read on her own.

"Yeah, well, I like learning about monsters. Call me crazy, but I'll enjoy that class," Klaus said with a grin.

"You do you. I'll check in later to make sure you're not sneaking off to see your ladies," Hanna said with a mischievous smile.

"You're lucky there are no romantic feelings between us. Otherwise, I'd make you regret controlling my love life."

"Too bad I'm not into your handsome face," Hanna teased before running off.

Klaus smiled. "That bastard Jacob and his family nearly made me lose such an amazing sister. I swear, one day, I'll pop down to the underworld and give them another beating," he said with a grin, a little joy showing on her lips.

For now, he was happy Hanna was with him. Having a sister like her was the best thing ever for him. If there were a meter to show their trust and happiness level, it would surely measure in the millions.

He laid down on his bed and turned to look at the one beside him. After a moment's thought, he used his mind to move Nari's bed farther away, ensuring she wouldn't roll onto his in her sleep.

"What did I do to deserve this?" he muttered. "On one hand, there's a fairy that any man would love to live with, but on the other, she's so crazy that she can't even be looked at twice."

[What are you complaining about? Aren't you the man for the ladies? Sounds like a challenge to crack this nut. You're making me look bad here, brat,] the senior teased, fanning the flames.

<I'm not falling for this challenge, old man. She's just too crazy right now. I mean, someone who beats up her friends' cheating boyfriends? That's way too much for my liking,> Klaus sighed.

[Well, she's here now, so good luck. Hehe.]

As the senior's laughter echoed in his mind, the space around the building cracked. Nari suddenly leaped out, landing softly on the ground.

"Honey, I'm home," Nari called out cheerfully.

Klaus stepped outside to open the door for her. Soon, they were both inside the room.

"Why is my bed far from yours? We can't have that; move it closer to yours," Nari commanded immediately. Klaus, like an obedient child, complied.

"Good. Now, let's establish some rules," Nari said, sitting down confidently.

"Sounds like a plan." Klaus was actually pleased—this was also a chance for him to set some boundaries.

"First rule," Nari began, "you are not allowed to have sex with any of your ladies in here. Of course, they can come and play around, but it stops at that."

"Okay," Klaus nodded. He figured it wouldn't be an issue; he could always visit them in their rooms.

"Second," she continued, "you have to absorb ten monster cores before going to bed every night. Don't worry—I'll supply the cores."

"Okay," Klaus replied with a smile. More cores meant more power; he wasn't about to refuse that.

"Third," Nari added, "you must make your bed every morning as soon as you wake up. I refuse to live with a messy bastard."

Klaus smirked but didn't argue. He wasn't foolish enough to test her patience.

"My turn," he said, leaning back. "You're not allowed to wear provocative clothing. Anything that doesn't fully cover your chest or backside is banned. Also, you can't disturb me while I'm asleep."

"What do you mean I can't dress how I like? It's my body, not yours," Nari shot back. "That said, your rule is rejected. But bear in mind—if you have any lustful thoughts, I'll know and deal with you. And don't worry; I'm not a witch, so I won't disturb your sleep."

Klaus clenched his fist, tempted to retaliate, but he restrained himself. She was clearly provoking him, and he wasn't about to rise to the bait.

"You do know I'm your sister's boyfriend, right?" he said with a warning tone. "While I don't particularly care if you prance around half-naked, I'd advise you not to push your luck. If you ever wake up pregnant one day, don't blame me."

"Tsk, I'd like to see you try," Nari retorted with a smirk.

"Fine, I'm late for my first day of class. Bye." Klaus left the room, heading off to the lectures he'd been eagerly awaiting for the past two weeks.

Left alone in the room, Nari giggled softly, holding her cheeks. A few seconds later, Queenie appeared out of thin air.

"You really want to go through with this?" Queenie asked, her voice calm but laced with concern.

"Yes, big sis," Nari replied softly. "I can't stay like this forever. If I don't find myself, I'll be stuck at the Ascendent Stage for the rest of my life."

"Alright. I hope you succeed," Queenie said, giving her a small smile. "And please, don't beat up my boyfriend. He's the only one I have." Her cheeks flushed a light pink as she said that.

"I won't make life hard for him. After all, he's my salvation. I just hope he doesn't anger me too often," Nari replied with a faint smirk.

"Don't worry—he's not stupid. And who knows? You two might hit it off. Klaus is as destructive as you are... in all the worst ways," Queenie said with a teasing grin. She hugged Nari tightly and whispered something in her ear before vanishing into thin air.

"Tsk, I won't fall for that bastard," Nari muttered as she jumped onto her bed. Moments later, she was fast asleep.

It is said that wicked people sleep during the day so that they may cause chaos at night.
