Supreme Master In The Apocalypse

"I'm really sorry that I wasn't able to attend your birthday celebration," Abigail looked at Hugo with an apologetic expression.

"That's alright," Hugo chuckled as Abigail sat beside him. "I know that you can't really do anything about it."

A smile rose up to her lips. "I know you would say that," she took out something from her bag and gave it to Hugo."This is for you!"

"What is this?" His brows shot up when he received a black paper bag.

Abigail just gave him a blank look. "What about you open it?" she sarcastically answered.

"So you're grumpy now, huh? Are red days knocking on your door?" Hugo wiggled his brows as he gave Abigail a little bit of teasing.

"I remember one time, you wer–"

"HUGO!"

A loud laugh escapes from his lips. "Chill, woman." he tilted his head to the side.

Hugo looked at the inside of the paper bag when he saw a small box inside. He immediately took a hold of it and opened them. Inside, he saw a shiny watch that was from a popular brand.

"This costs a fortune!" he exclaimed. He looked at Abigail, unbelievably, "You shouldn't have bought this."

Abigail simply just gave a smug look at him. "I bought it because I like it. I want to use it, but it doesn't fit my style. No need to flatter yourself," she answered, denying the fact that she really picked this one because she thought that it would look good on Hugo.

But Hugo had read her thoughts. "Oh, really?" he grinned and closed the box once again.

"All right then," his grin became wider as he leaned back in his chair. He looked at the time on his phone.

"We should probably go now," he uttered when he saw that it was almost 10 in the morning already.

Abigail nodded as she followed Hugo. They entered their classroom together, which earned a suspicious look from everyone.

"Wohooo~ Look at Hugo and Abigail!" a man on the side teased. His name was Jarrick and was the classroom's president. He has brown hair and eyes. He was the charming type of guy with an angelic look. The typical good guys in the movies.

Abigail glared at Jarrick. She was biting her lips, trying her best to ignore the teasing that her classmates were saying.

Hugo just laughed it off. 'So, this is how Abigail is when she is shy, huh?' He thought.

Actually, he already knew Abigail's feelings for him. That's why he made that move in the alley back then. He just wanted to see if her actions would change after it.

But Abigail's reaction had remained the same. She was not courageous enough to confess her feelings to him.

'It seems like I will be the one to make the move if she would continuously act like this. Should I sleep in their house once again?" He asked himself.

He already knew what Abigail had done to him when he was in her bed. He had managed to read her mind when they were eating breakfast that time.

He just kept it a secret without informing Abigail, since he doesn't want her to lose face in front of him.

"Why is Mrs. Isabela not here yet?" Hugo asked one of his classmates when he saw that it was already the start of his class.

"I don't know. Maybe she will be late in just a couple of minutes."

However, Hugo wasn't really buying that excuse. Not even once in his school life did Mrs. Isabela become late in her class.

"I heard that Mrs. Isabela was called to the headmaster's office. Maybe they were just having a meeting." Jarrick added in.

"Well, that's possible." Hugo just shrugged his shoulders as he took out the pen in his pocket. He played with it for a couple of minutes before he got bored.

'Damn, that old hag is taking so long,' he complained in his mind.

"Good morning, Class." A woman walked into their room.

Everyone was surprised to see Ms. Aella inside. She was carrying a folder in her hand.

"Good morning, Ms.," they answered in unison.

Hugo got curious about why Aella entered their room.

Aella fixed her eyeglasses. Her eyes wandered around, trying to find 2 particular faces.

"Mr. Hugo Irish and Mr. Jarrick Constantin, you are summoned by Head Master Leon. Please follow me," she announced, which made everyone gasp.

Hugo's forehead creased. He stood up and did exactly what Aella had asked them. Both he and Jarrick were following her. No one dared to say anything since Aella doesn't really radiate a friendly aura.

Of course, he was not scared. But for the sake of Jarrick, who was obviously afraid on the side, he chose to keep quiet.

"D-Do you think Headmaster Leon will scold us for something? But I didn't do anything this day…" Jarrick's voice trembled as they reach the front door of Leon's office.

"Well, we wouldn't know. We need to enter in order to find out." Hugo lightly scoffed.

He glanced over to the side and saw Aella, who was just staring at them.

"Can we enter now?"

Aella nodded as she knocked on the door before opening it widely. "You can enter now."

Hugo let Jarrick come inside first. He was being cautious since Jarrick looks like he was about to pass out due to nervousness. This is one thing that he doesn't like about him.

He's too good and innocent that these things were already making his body tremble in fear.

It reminds him of his past self. Because believe him or not, he would immediately be nervous if he was called for nothing.

Well, but that was all in the past. In this lifetime, he vowed to be scared of no one… except for his mother's anger.

"Sorry for calling you two at this hour," Headmaster Leon smiled as he offered the two a seat.

"Why did you call us Headmaster?" Hugo was the one who answered, since Jarrick was just silent on the side.

"Mrs. Isabela just resigned earlier due to family reasons. We have scouted a new teacher for your class." Leon started off. He gave them both a piece of a folder containing the information about their new teacher.

"I want you two to tour her around this school after your class. At this time, I'm sure she is already in your classroom, introducing herself to everyone. She already knew that I called you two, so you don't need to be scared to be late." Leon informed them.

Hugo opened up the folder immediately. His mouth fell on the floor when he saw whose name was written on it.

'Ms. Charlotte?"
