"What?! Law of Darkness lvl 1? I was quite sure that i figured it out quite a lot, well never mind, i guess i'll just put some more effort in it, Close combat lvl 1 huh, well considering how weak i am now it isn't a wonder at all, but what's this title Pioneer i got?"

Pioneer: Increases experience gained from killing monsters by 10%.

"Oh, cool, you have to love free stuff! Let's see, there's 3 more minutes left 'till apocalypse starts, i wonder if anyone else knows of it, i should go back to my classroom and check, i have been out for quite some time now."

As Tenebris made his way back to the classroom he was stunned with what he saw, his whole classroom was up and they all stared out through the window. Sky was pitch black, it was like it was suddenly night, but even darker than that, there was no sun nor moon, only shiny beam of light dropping from the sky into city center that wasn't far from his school.

"Teacher? What is happening? Why is it dark all of the sudden?"

"I-i-i don't know, there was some sudden holographic screen in front of me with some timer on it, and, and, and it imediately got dark, then that beam of light appeared out of nowhere and it keeps getting brighter and brighter with time, i don't know what's happening, is it really apocalypse?!"

She stood there in daze, mumbling quietly, her eyes were watery, full of tears, every student in classroom was like glued to the window, no one spoke, couple of girls were shaking, everyone was pale, like all color was drained from them, but they kept staring out the window, looking at that shiny beam of light. A calm before the storm.

"Listen up everyone!" Tenebris suddenly yelled. "You need to calm down, i know this is all quite shocking, but if there really is an apocalypse incoming, you can't panic, you must remain calm in order to survive, have you never watched a movie, tell me, who dies first in movies like this?"

As he finished everyone was staring at him, some of them opened their mouths, wanting to speak, but no words were spoken. Silence, complete silence ruled this classroom.

"Okay everyone, we don't know what will happen when time runs out, but we must prepare for the worst, is anyone here trained in combat, some form of martial arts or anything else?"

"I-i-i did go to kendo, but that was a long time ago, but i still know some of it..."

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

Said blonde little girl, almost as whispering.

"Good, what's your name, anyone else?"

"I'm Tanya..."

She mumbled quietly.

"I went kick-boxing for couple of years, does that count?"

Said tall and skinny boy that was standing almost in the corner of the classroom.

"Yes it does, anything is better than nothing, anyone else?"

Silence, no one spoke even a single word further.

"Damn guys what were you doing your whole life? Ok you two, Tanya and whatever is your name, come stand behind me, rest of you hide under tables, prepare like someone will drop a nuke on this school, hurry up, what are you waiting for?!"

As he finished everyone rushed to do as he said, they scurried down under tables, trembling, shaking, panicing, fear was evident on their faces. Well who wouldn't be afraid if all of the sudden you were told, hey guess what? It's an apocalypse! Surprise!

"My name is Demian by the way, why don't we hide under tables?"

Said that tall kick-boxer when he came up to Tenebris.

"I don't really care about your names at all, i just need your ability, if you prove yourself unable then you will join rest of them under those tables, same goes to you blondey, if you want to take your chance go hide under the table and roll the dices, maybe you'll survive and maybe you won't, i want to survive so i'm not hiding, i will fight to live, so are you guys cowards or will you fight to live? It can't be any more simpler than that."

Said Tenebris with a frown on his face as he was measuring up two youths standing in front of him, they were still slightly trembling, but once they heard his words they stood still, shocked, staring at him with their pupils shrunk and mouths open.

"I-i-i am afraid." Whimpered tearfully Tanya.

"And who says i'm not?! I am also afraid, i don't know whats happening, it's normal to be afraid, only question is how will you use that fear inside you, cower? Or stand and fight?"

"Fight? Fight who? Fight what?" Asked confused Demian.

"Monsters! Bunch of 'em actually considering it is supposed to be an apocalypse! I killed one in the bathroom already, if you haven't noticed yet all of this is like some sort of a game, i have some experience with games and i played quite a few of apocalypse survival games, so if you follow me and listen to what i say, well i can't say you won't die, but at least you will have a chance to live!"

"And what about rest of them?" Asked Demian.

"In my eyes they are all already dead."

Solemnly replied Tenebris.

"Dead, but can't you help them somehow?" Spoke frantically Tanya.

"No. It's their own inability that killed them, well i already did as much as i could for them, in case of some miracle some of them may survive, it's just a matter of luck now, but you two have some ability, so you have higher chances, now let's go we need to hurry, apocalypse is starting in a minute!"

"Go where?" Asked confused Tanya.

"To the gym dummy, duhh... You are a swordsman and you need a sword, and he's a kick-boxer he needs... Well kick-boxing stuff... You are wasting our time with dumb questions, now run!"
