Test Of Luck

It was a week after the incident. The sleepover that Hugo and Abigail planned out was postponed because of what happened. Abigail's parents were furious after learning about it. The situation escalated real quick that the news even broadcasted it.

The last news that Hugo received was that Lucas was placed in jail.

The security around Abigail had doubled as well, that no one could talk to the woman without her parent's permission. Hugo was fortunate enough, since Abigail's parents were thankful to him. He can freely talk to Abigail without any worries.

"Maybe we should set the date for next week. What do you think? Abigail looked at the man, waiting for an answer.

"Alright," Hugo smiled at the woman. They were currently inside their classroom, waiting for their last teacher to arrive.

Abigail smiled in satisfaction. "I'll plan what we will do. Don't worry! You just need to show up that day. "

Hugo chuckled and let Abigail do what she wanted. He lay down his head on the table in front of him.

"Why is Mr. Red taking so long?" Hugo wondered. He glanced over at the clock on the wall. 'He was already 5 minutes late.' He tilted his head when he found it odd.

He tried his best to recall his memories. 'Today is PE day… then today must be the luck test!'

Hugo remembered this day. It was probably one of the most embarrassing days of his previous life. This is the day when he realized that he has no luck in life.

It was so bad, as if when God showered luck in the world, he was soundly sleeping in the bed.

A few minutes had passed before he saw Mr. Red entering their classroom. The man was carrying a wooden box in his hands. Inside the box were cups, balls, pens, papers, and cards.

"Good afternoon class. You do not need to stand up. We will have a test today that will try out your luck."

Just like what Hugo expected, they would really test their luck for today. He couldn't help but grin.

'I would totally change what happened in the past,' He uttered to himself.

"This test will have three parts. The first part will be guessing the shape of the cards. This will give you 1 point each." Mr. Red raised the cards in midair, showing the different shapes. "Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, and Spades. This will give you 1 out of 4 chances of being correct."

He placed down the cards before pulling out the red cups. "The second one will be guessing where the ball is among these 6 cups. You will only be given 3 chances with 3 points each." Red's mouth twisted before taking out the last item in the box.

"And for the last one, guess the number. Ranging from 1 to 50 I will write down one number, and who will have t guess what is it. Those who get it right will automatically have 10 points." He looked around, surveying each of the students.

"The score on this test will be equivalent to 50% of your final exams…" Red briefly paused.

Different reactions from the students surfaced, but before everyone could say anything, Mr. Red continued his words.

"Let's begin," he announced, which made everyone quiet.

Since there were only 20 students inside the classroom, the first round went very fast. They only had five chances and the maximum points that they could get were 5.

"How many points did you get?" Hugo looked at Abigail after her turn finished.

"3 points," Abigail answered happily.

Nodding his head, Hugo took a deep breath before standing up.

It was his turn already.

"Hugo, I want you to choose 5 cards." Mr. Red shuffled the cards in front of him.

Looking at the cards, Hugo reluctantly picked 5. He could feel beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He tried to use his mind-reading power, but Mr. Red wasn't thinking about anything.

'Fuck, how can I guess this now?' Hugo swallowed dryly. He was only thinking about one thing, but that would tire him a lot.

"You only have 30 seconds left, Hugo." Mr. Hugo reminded him.

'I have no choice now,' Hugo uttered as he stared at the cards on the table. He took a deep breath before glancing around. 'I just need to make this quick.'

"Stop…" Hugo whispered in the air. In just a second, everything stopped. Hugo didn't waste any time and opened up the cards on the table.

'1 Diamond, 2 Hearts, 2 Clubs.' Hugo memorized everything in the right order. He quickly placed them all back in their original position. He went back to his place before turning everything back to normal.

"Be back," He murmured.

"You have 10 seconds left, Hugo." Mr. Red announced. The man glanced around when he found something weird. But when he didn't see anything, he disregarded his thought.

Hugo grabbed the pen on the table and started to write down what he saw in the same order. He carefully examined it back before giving them to Mr. Red.

Mr. Red's eyes widened in shock. He looked back at the cards and saw that Hugo got them all correct. 'This is the first time that I have seen this!' he unbelievably glanced at Hugo.

Hugo secretly grinned when he saw the bewildered expression on his teacher's face. Even though he was feeling a little bit worn out from what he did, it was worth it.

"A-A perfect score for you." Mr. Red's voice quivered. His hands trembled as he called out the next student.

On the other hand, Hugo calmly went back to his seat. A soft burst of laughter came out of his mouth.

'This is fun,'
