Ryuu, Fuuma, and Eiji were bored out of their minds in history class. Mr. Tanaka, their teacher, was droning on about the French Revolution, and the only thing keeping them awake was the thought of escaping to the cafeteria for a much-needed snack break.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkabOAWHva8

"This is torture," Ryuu whispered to Fuuma, his eyes rolling.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V87HfbRJS
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cTVIcgd9q
"Tell me about it," Fuuma replied, burying his face in his textbook.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhryK8Xl0yH
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K3nYHehKf
Eiji, lost in his own world, was sketching a portrait of Aoi, the class president, in his notebook. He had a secret crush on her, and he couldn't help but be drawn to her quiet grace and intelligence.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi2GgSu2H7
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLHVzD1Z2v
Suddenly, a loud BANG echoed through the classroom, followed by a plume of smoke billowing from the back of the room. Chaos erupted as students scrambled to their feet, their faces contorted in terror.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGTfXiD50v
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF0Qzxd3PG
"Fire! Fire!" someone screamed.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg6e9bQHaz
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcG86oJxk8
Ryuu, ever the prankster, couldn't resist the opportunity for a good laugh. He grabbed a handful of papers from his desk and threw them into the air, yelling, "Run for your lives!"353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqWTtWkHZF
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3io1Y12cyR
Fuuma, realizing the situation was far from funny, grabbed Ryuu's arm and pulled him towards the door. "Ryuu, this is not the time for a joke!"353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3DX6GAzKJ
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpJHo4AQ5y
Eiji, still lost in his own world, was oblivious to the pandemonium around him. He continued to sketch Aoi, his eyes fixated on her as she calmly led the students out of the classroom.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZO148ec0G

As they made their way down the hallway, the fire alarm blared, its shrill sound filling the air. Ryuu, unable to resist the urge to add to the chaos, started singing along to the alarm, his voice a high-pitched, off-key rendition of "Smoke on the Water."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXhxkeKkAC
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXSjRa9uTP
Fuuma, exasperated, slapped his hand over Ryuu's mouth. "Will you be quiet!"353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Od9E7AOjR
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq4UIUHVCN
"But it's a classic!" Ryuu protested, his eyes sparkling with mischief.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh6Kh7xyIK
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofYWkzMg8J
They finally reached the schoolyard, where the students were gathering in a confused mass. Ryuu, still chuckling to himself, pointed at the smoke billowing from the classroom window.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVnQXJJb0u
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98j2LOALwJ
"I told you it was going to be epic!" he declared, his voice filled with pride.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOpV2QFX3w
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3PYoKmYGF
"You're a menace, Ryuu," Fuuma said, shaking his head in disbelief.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04ld0tHuBX
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnegqeqaVx
But as they looked around, they noticed that Aoi was nowhere to be seen. She had disappeared into the smoke-filled classroom, and no one knew where she had gone.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjzRaopbHV
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxStMnk1dD
"Where's Aoi?" Ryuu asked, his voice suddenly serious.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpHbbwF39B
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdERw505cTC
Fuuma scanned the crowd, his eyes searching for their friend. "I don't know," he said, his voice laced with concern. "Maybe she went back inside?"353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEIlrCDIof
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF70V3OfjFK
Ryuu, his sense of humor momentarily forgotten, felt a pang of worry. He couldn't imagine Aoi being in danger, and he was determined to find her.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4dKyKLWYH
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTNv1SezgE
"We have to find her," he said, his voice firm. "Let's go back inside."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69fxmh2jCE
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKacZdt4wNa
Fuuma, sharing his friend's concern, nodded in agreement. Together, they made their way back towards the classroom, their hearts pounding with a mixture of fear and determination.
Ryuu, Fuuma, and Eiji stood outside the classroom, the air thick with smoke and the sound of the fire alarm ringing in their ears. Aoi was missing, and a sense of worry settled over them. They knew they had to find her, but what had happened to her, and why had she gone to the library? The mystery deepened, and the trio knew their adventure was just beginning.
