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.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA6p2ecDAa

"This is torture," Ryuu whispered to Fuuma, his eyes rolling.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaVOvYXvWg
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbeWhfrOYM
"Tell me about it," Fuuma replied, burying his face in his textbook.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkKyUjQvIv
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepp7XpXNPz
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.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz7Zmwk8sC
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboVYeJoozM
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.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCnxjpbUYS
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJtVahl9z3
"Fire! Fire!" someone screamed.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrULDp0RXV
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bFX7AdHqQ
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!"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZuIuI8JBA
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZnTqy5IUM
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!"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUfQH7jQoC
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd9SbGRP9S
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.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B7865jPFt
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM59Idgp6U6
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."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6jtaNUkBf
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntrGl0tqTc
Fuuma, exasperated, slapped his hand over Ryuu's mouth. "Will you be quiet!"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6hWzXT7Iv
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXXdrf0TRO
"But it's a classic!" Ryuu protested, his eyes sparkling with mischief.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyivoa1DhLZ
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZvJlLQaB4
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.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vTo71szB8
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnOFQUoGKz
"I told you it was going to be epic!" he declared, his voice filled with pride.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUwRUQdKpj
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SPA5CUkM3
"You're a menace, Ryuu," Fuuma said, shaking his head in disbelief.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dIuZtySDB
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAFZzoN1PP
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.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ71ymkhtn
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXUWp4TqqI
"Where's Aoi?" Ryuu asked, his voice suddenly serious.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLeWXmxvjG
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I1Jo8Gqzf
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?"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFx2ZrPO4Q
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr8oVQjI7s
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.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y62VeJech
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9axfFdbZTg
"We have to find her," he said, his voice firm. "Let's go back inside."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtcS4OTClF
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjlz20lDJ0
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.
