The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse Chapter 1515: Officially, A Student

With a commanding arrival, Klaus and Eiko proceeded towards the administration building, leaving behind a crowd in stunned silence, all pondering the nature of the Leviathan they had just witnessed.

Its lack of cultivation, typical of most beasts, was observed by onlookers.

Despite having no discernible grade, everyone present felt an undeniable, life-threatening aura emanating from it.

Unbeknownst to them, while most elemental beings mature based on their master's comprehension, Klaus's forbidden elements possessed an additional growth pathway.

Beyond strengthening through the elemental comprehension of their wielder, they also grew in power as Klaus himself advanced. In fact, with Klaus now a formidable figure in human guise, his elementals were on par with his own strength.

This implied that, excluding Klaus himself, the odds of anyone successfully defeating them were negligible.

Even more astonishing was the sentience of his elementals; all his elemental affinities were intelligent, having manifested as elemental spirits.

Although their affiliation with him remained concealed, the universe had already been privy to the might of his flame elements, which he had designated as the elemental affinity for his Criminal Incarnation.

These four specific elements possessed humanoid characteristics.

Consequently, he opted to maintain his other elements in their beastly forms for the time being.

Paragon had already claimed the darkness element and one facet of his lightning element, with Klaus retaining the other.

This was a strategic choice to prevent any association between him and Paragon. If they both wielded elementals capable of assuming humanoid forms, similar to his four flame elements, speculation would inevitably arise.

Therefore, he kept them in their beast forms to simplify matters for himself and everyone else.

Klaus was not the sole possessor of sentient elemental affinities.

Numerous other individuals possessed such intelligent elements. Upon reaching the Perfect Harmony Stage in their elemental comprehension, certain warriors could form elemental spirits, thereby gaining sentience.

However, without Klaus's unique cultivation method, these spirit flames would be considerably less potent than his own elements.

As the sole wielder of forbidden elements following the demise of the forbidden universe, Klaus faced no fear in revealing his elements. Their forbidden nature would remain undetected, imperceptible even to the heavens.

Now, as they soared towards the administration building, leaving a trail of ice in their wake, every disciple could only gasp in awe.

Klaus had intentionally employed [Abyssal Ice] as a potent display of strength. If his ice element alone exhibited such power, the wielder himself must be unfathomably strong.

"Eiko, what assistance will I require at the administration?" Klaus inquired, turning to Eiko, who appeared lost in thought.

Jolted by Klaus's question, she quickly regained her composure and replied, "They merely need your name and signature. As you have been recommended by a high-ranking individual within the academy, you will be exempt from any tests."

"Oh, that's convenient. However, I heard there's a method to verify if I am indeed the Paragon."

Klaus, having previously fallen prey to numerous traps set by the Heavens Court, was keen to ascertain if similar measures were in place here.

In the past, his identity as the Paragon was invariably exposed after he inadvertently triggered unknown traps. Had this not been the case, he might have enjoyed a semblance of a peaceful existence.

Not that he harbored any current concerns.

Despite being the Paragon's main body, he currently lacked any Paragon-related abilities. While he could utilize Paragon powers, his bloodline's unawakened state prevented him from being detected as the Paragon.

No trap could ensnare him, even if he were present as the Criminal Incarnation. With multiple bodies, he could strategically shift his Paragon power to evade detection.

Eiko nodded in response to Klaus's query. "That is indeed true. However, given that you have remained alive on this planet without incident, you can be assured that no other test will yield any conclusive results."

"Ah, so this planet itself serves as the test?" Klaus seemed slightly taken aback.

"Precisely. Should the Paragon set foot here, they would be instantly obliterated by a power that even a Supreme master could not withstand."

"Impressive. That is quite a foolproof system," Klaus remarked with a smile, suppressing any outward display of his inner elation.

'This brings me one step closer to uncovering their secrets.'

With this thought, they soon reached the administration building. Eiko guided him inside, and within ten minutes, his registration was complete.

The procedure was remarkably straightforward. Klaus simply provided his name, signed a few documents, and submitted his bank details, which the school stated would be used for crediting his account.

Following this, he was issued a uniform.

Klaus learned that the uniforms came in various colors, each denoting an individual's rank within the academy.

The lowest-ranking students were distinguishable by their blue uniforms, a stark contrast to the black uniforms adorned with white stripes reserved for the highest-ranking. Eiko, clad in a green uniform, thereby revealed her standing in the hundreds of thousands.

While one might consider her a low-ranker, with brown and green uniforms following blue in the hierarchy, her position at 897,400, when considering the academy's entire student body, indicated she was a student of decent standing.

Klaus, however, was presented with a black uniform marked by red stripes. This distinct attire served as a clear symbol of his status as a Unique Disciple, exempting him from the standard school uniform.

Having officially become a disciple, Klaus's immediate next endeavor was to visit the Engineering College for registration and to meet the renowned Supreme Engineer Winnie.

With his mission, assigned by the Mission Hall, set to expire in 14 months, Klaus decided to depart in two months. He reasoned that delaying his departure would only lead to more individuals being placed in peril.

His Criminal Incarnation, Rhazor, was already just two weeks away from reaching the Devil’s Maw. Therefore, Klaus needed to ensure his own affairs were settled before embarking on his mission.

Beyond settling his immediate obligations, Klaus also desired to establish his presence within the academy. The two-month period he had allocated for himself appeared to be the perfect window to achieve this goal.

What Klaus had not anticipated was the immediate appearance of three Supremes, one of whom he recognized, blocking their path as they exited the administration building with Eiko.

He recognized Supreme Engineer Winnie from their prior encounter during his duel with Rouni.

The second Supreme, a man possessing flowing blue hair and delicate, feminine features, offered Klaus a smile, his eyes inexplicably sparkling.

Klaus perceived a distinct sense of danger emanating from him. This perception wasn't due to the man's prowess as a warrior, but rather stemmed from Klaus's concern for his own innocence, given the peculiar aura surrounding him.

‘How can a man possess such a lecherous aura?’ Klaus cried out internally, quickly averting his gaze from the individual.

Noticing Klaus’s reaction, Supreme Healer Gideon brought a fan to his lips and emitted a giggle, a sound that Klaus suspected he would be unable to forget, even if he desperately wished to.

The third Supreme, also a woman, was unfamiliar to Klaus. However, he was certain of one thing: if faced with one hundred Supremes in battle, she would vanquish them in under ten seconds.

Drawing upon his experience battling formidable adversaries, Klaus possessed a keen ability to assess individuals. When he looked at his wife, Queenie, he saw a deadly sword, one tempered in the very blood of her vanquished foes.

Now, his gaze fell upon this woman, and he perceived a similar deadly sword, so sharp it seemed capable of cleaving the void and severing the threads of fate itself.

Swallowing hard, Klaus met the woman’s gaze.

"You are terrifying," he murmured, a smile gracing his lips. "I find terrifying people quite appealing."

He added these words, much to the astonishment of Supreme Engineer Winnie and Supreme Healer Gideon.
