Supreme Master In The Apocalypse

[Announcement! Please gather in the Auditorium everyone.]

The speaker loudly announced after lunchtime. Each and every student in Lunaria Academia hurried their way into the auditorium. There were only a total of 800 students in the whole school, 200 students for each level.

Out of everyone, Hugo was the only one who got in with a scholarship. He was fortunate enough that there were no bullies around the school.

Lunaria Academia was known to be strict when it comes to proper conduct. That must be why. And it was very hard to get it.

They had to take an exam filled with 500 questions and the passing score was said to be about 400. After that, those who passed the exam will have their grades evaluated.

Those with grades 88 or below in any subjects will be removed from the list. The last step was always the interview with the school council containing the staff member of the school with the highest position.

Hugo went to the Auditorium together with Abigail. As he entered inside, he saw the curved rows of cushioned seats surrounding the central stage. It was designed in an increasing manner where the closest seat was at the very bottom while the farthest was at the top.

"Let's just sit here." Abigail spat as they walk towards the third row, since some teachers who weren't on the stage usually occupied the first and second rows.

Hugo took a deep sigh as the auditorium got instantly filled in no time. It didn't take too long before it started.

The Academia's Head Master, Leon, stood up in the middle with a huge smile on his face.

"I am pleased to meet you, everyone. When was the last time that we have gathered altogether?" He chuckled. "I hope my hair hasn't gotten too gray."

The students laughed at what Leon had said.

Leon was almost in his 60s. He was wearing a black suit and a black tie. His face was wrinkled because of old age. But despite this, his body was still well built.

"We have gathered you all today regarding your school ranking. Just like what we announced 2 weeks ago, your year in the university does not matter." Leon smiled. "Even if you are already in the 4th year or 3rd year, you are all ranked fairly."

"About the rankings, we had a hard time deciding on this one. It was just a month when the government proposed this plan. We weren't sure at first, but they had promised that the top 10 students from our school will immediately have a position in the government once they graduated."

"A position in the government?" Hugo's forehead creased. He took a sigh and shook his head. 'For all I know, they are just using us,' he uttered to himself.

Leon's talk had been on for 20 minutes before he was replaced by a woman. It was Aella, their headmaster's secretary.

Not different from Leon, Aella was already 45 years old. She has thick glasses and a serious expression. She looked like those terror old teachers who were single for their whole life.

"As by what Headmaster Leon had said, we will only announce the ranking of those who are above 500. This gathered data is from your test scores, activeness points, and grades for the past 3 months." Aella announced.

She fixed the microphone stand and adjusted her glasses.

"Let's start."

"Rank 500 - Rudy Smith. Rank 499…"

Hugo was earnestly waiting for his rank to be called. After an hour, it was already in the top 100.

"Rank 99- Khirodra Wilson."

" Rank 98- Alleson Mille."

The student whose name was called was tasked to stand up while the rest clap their hands. It went on for another 30 minutes and Hugo's name wasn't called yet.

"What do you think is our rank?" Abigail worriedly asked Hugo when her name still hadn't been called. 'It will be a disgrace if I will not be called.' she whispered.

Hugo patted Abigail's shoulders. "I'm sure you are in the top 20, Abigail. Don't be nervous." he encouraged her when he saw that Abigail's hands were already trembling.

"I hope so too…" she whispered in the air.

"For the Rank 15 and up, may we request for you to go up on the stage?" Aella uttered as she turned the paper to the next page.

She started to call the names of the students who were on the list.

"Rank 11- Abigail Marquez."

Abigail's lips parted apart as she heard her name. She immediately looked at Hugo and hugged the man. "I'm part of it!" she exclaimed happily.

Hugo nodded and smiled. "Go up to the stage now."

"I know you will be part, too." Abigail chuckled as she moved her way to the stage. Aella called out a few names until it has gotten to the last 5 top.

Those students who were not called were starting to get nervous. It was only Hugo who seems to be relaxed about what was happening.

'How can I get nervous when I already know my rank?' Hugo thought as the atmosphere on the inside became tense.

He leaned towards the backrest and waited for his name to be called.

"Rank 1- Hugo Irish!"

Hugo stood up as he heard the loud claps of the people behind him. He walked with confidence in the middle.

"I told you!" Abigail greeted Hugo with an enormous smile.

He grinned as he stood in the middle. All the lights on top of the stage went in their direction.

Leon clapped his hands as Aella grabbed and gave him the mic.

"Let us congratulate the top 15! I believe that the 15 of them will be the pillars of our school, especially you, Hugo Irish. You will be the school's representative in the upcoming Lunaria's feast."

Hugo's brows shot up. 'Lunaria's feast? Fuck! That thing wasn't in my previous life!'
