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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHaqf9IS2J

"This is torture," Ryuu whispered to Fuuma, his eyes rolling.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLGUhC7hVf
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHcAaqSslA
"Tell me about it," Fuuma replied, burying his face in his textbook.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuyo3JAeH0

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu601SfSWqs
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AGRmdGgxt
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxt9QbQ4R8

"Fire! Fire!" someone screamed.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gZTZFnZHm
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4IMiBYUr4
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWIZcGxi57
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnk8QKc2z3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRqxWve53R
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNDFa8f5kB
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV17dDfP6h
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI64dnrIFzr
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVh1OxfcoS
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExq0I2iVUO
Fuuma, exasperated, slapped his hand over Ryuu's mouth. "Will you be quiet!"353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVVMlNj1O1
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBGkJdWh8j
"But it's a classic!" Ryuu protested, his eyes sparkling with mischief.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcQPkXmHWJ
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqauZYI58Hs
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrRs8m2dbC
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBwuuvrAQP
"I told you it was going to be epic!" he declared, his voice filled with pride.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaay8qYGc7
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpsxnre7T7
"You're a menace, Ryuu," Fuuma said, shaking his head in disbelief.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcSvCmlmur
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l87pTyEzN
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF1MUPtDJq
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkMACvQfZ3
"Where's Aoi?" Ryuu asked, his voice suddenly serious.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7Y8MbtT4n
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T2F91Exwr
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMHRPZWYq5
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aeOAR0BYU
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFbKSqLbSK
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfYSVSr7gt
"We have to find her," he said, his voice firm. "Let's go back inside."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYkf9sFdsa
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXsMydEMmV
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.
