Supreme Master In The Apocalypse

Hugo has been thinking all night. Since it was still March right now, then that means his father was still working in an office job. It was not until late April when his father got fired because his workmates accused him of stealing money.

And in order to prevent his father from dying, he needs to make sure that his father does not get fired from his work.

'But how can I do that?' Hugo asked himself.

"Mr. Hugo! Are you listening to my class?" A terrifying shout from an old woman sounded.

Hugo was startled by the sudden voice. His forehead creased as he glanced at his teacher. "No?"

HIs answer made the old woman flare in anger. "May I remind you, Mr. Hugo, that you are just relying on your scholarship! And if I gave you a failing mark, then what do you think will happen to you?"

Silence surrounded the whole classroom. Hugo tried his best to not answer back. "I'm sorry, Miss." He apologized even though it was against his will.

The old woman snorted. She rolled her eyes and went back to the board to write some things down. 'Tsk. I even wondered why that man got the scholarship! This school is so cheap to accept poor people like him.'

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Isabela, but what's wrong with being poor?" Hugo called out to the woman.

Isabela's face went pale. 'Did I just say that out loud?' Her eyes widened as she cleared her throat and looked back.

"N-Nothing!" The woman's voice quivered.

"Pst,"

Hugo glanced over at his side when he felt Abigail's arms hitting the side of his stomach.

"What are you doing? You're just suddenly calling out our teacher,' she whispered in his ears.

Hugo's brows shot up. "You didn't hear what she said?"

Abigail shook her head and adjusted the way she sit when she saw that Mrs. Isabela was looking in their direction. 'I hope she didn't notice that I was talking in her class!'

On the other hand, Hugo was puzzled about what happened. 'How come I can hear Mrs. Isabela talking then?' The man looked around and saw that some of his classmates were looking in his direction.

'Abigail wasn't lying then when she said that our teacher didn't say anything."

The frozen body of Mrs. Isabela slowly recovered. She smiled widely and tried to lighten up the mood by continuing her lecture.

'What's happening?' Hugo questioned. He tried looking at one of his classmates to see if he wasn't just daydreaming.

'Damn, this lesson is boring, I just want to go home and watch porn already'

Hugo quickly looked away. 'I can read thoughts now?' The man paused for a while when he remembered something. 'But didn't Jason say that he doesn't watch those kinds of things?'

He chuckled, but he immediately stopped when he recalled that he was still in their classroom. Minutes had passed and Hugo got bored, Without anything to do, he tried to focus on his class until it finally ended.

[Announcement! There will be no classes after lunch today because of a meeting.]

The speaker on all corners of the university rang out. The students cheered in joy when that only means one thing. They can already go home and spend their time on their own.

"What are we you going to do, Hugo?" Abigail smiled widely.

He shrugged his shoulder, "Go home, probably?" he answered.

Abigail's forehead creased. "It's still 11 am! Let's go somewhere first, alright?" The woman pulled up Hugo's arms.

A deep sigh escaped Hugo's lips. 'I already know what will happen,' he murmured as he let Abigail take him somewhere.

Just like what Hugo expected, they arrived at a park nearby. Hugo looked around and saw that the park was different from what he remembered.

"Isn't there supposed to be police patrolling around here?" He stopped walking. It was known that a lot of snatchers were roaming around the area, that's why they had no choice but to place some police to guard the place and the people.

"Huh? Are you getting crazy now?" Abigail looked at Hugo weirdly. He was acting like this since yesterday and she doesn't have any idea why.

Hugo tilted his head. "Nah, I just couldn't sleep right yesterday." He simply answered. He crossed his arms over his chest and sigh. 'I should stop saying things now.'

When they arrived at one of the benches, Hugo volunteered to buy ice cream using Abigail's money. The man took this as an opportunity to survey the area.

'So that means that I just didn't come back to the past? I came back here, but the world that I'm up to was slightly different?' That was the only conclusion that the man could think of after carefully analyzing the situation.

'And what's with me having the ability or power to know someone's thoughts?' He added in. The man straight went ahead to the old vendor selling ice cream. The shop was located on the side of the road.

"2 cones please,' he smiled at the old woman before paying.

Hugo stared at the woman. He decided to try his ability and see if it still works.

'I am glad that this young man bought Ice cream in my store. I haven't been selling well these past few days.'

The man felt awe at the old woman. "I'll buy 2 more cones," he said, which made the woman tears out of joy.

"Thank you, Sir!" The old woman enthusiastically smiled before scooping more ice cream. It took her some time before she got all done.

Hugo took the ice cream cones and smiled widely at the old woman before walking away. When he reached Abigail's place, he gave her 2 ice cream cones.

Abigail laughed. "Do you crave Ice cream that much?" she tilted her head before accepting the cones. "Where is the change, though?"

When he remembered that he forgot to take back his change, he stood up once again. "I'll get it."

He didn't wait for Abigail to answer. Hugo went straight back to the same ice cream shop and saw that the old woman was waiting for him on the other side of the road.

"Young man, you forget to take your change." The old woman smiled. She was in the middle of crossing the road when a truck speeding on the road suddenly appeared in their sight.

"Maam!" Hugo's eyes widened in horror when he noticed that the truck was getting faster and faster each second.

When the old woman heard what Hugo had said, she stopped her movement and look at the side. That's when she noticed that the truck was already near to her body. She closed her eyes and accepted that it was already her time to go to heaven.

After all, she felt that she was lonely these past few days, as her children already have their own families.

But before the truck could even hit the woman's body, there was a deafening shout that suddenly echoed.

"STOP!!!" Hugo screamed out loud.

And just like that, everything stopped… even the time.

======

Author's Note - I would like to say that the early chapters will be slow-paced because they will focus more on how can Hugo gets strong. How Hugo interacts with his family and how can he change their destiny. However, once he discovered all of his powers and the apocalypse is near already, the story development will be fast.
