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.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoyNFPDXZJ

"This is torture," Ryuu whispered to Fuuma, his eyes rolling.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKak1i07O70
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UdsWWJPxS
"Tell me about it," Fuuma replied, burying his face in his textbook.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLuUxQ6Izj

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.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzddo4iepf1

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.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA6xnikRX7

"Fire! Fire!" someone screamed.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmigdlvmGa

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!"298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iUDQPmLh9
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9uQBuj1OB
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!"298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfkwHPq513
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlovigUAbuD
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.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp99Qpf3Fr5
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiFOGpgn5D
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."298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGT8sHYep5
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCGAfPQblQ
Fuuma, exasperated, slapped his hand over Ryuu's mouth. "Will you be quiet!"298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0syqSXVEp
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY63OSFUCU1
"But it's a classic!" Ryuu protested, his eyes sparkling with mischief.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERRUB3bYCT
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYzuJjK5M5
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.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiLc8gEGSF
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk82qTtRewf
"I told you it was going to be epic!" he declared, his voice filled with pride.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vgh8ZP7U4
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEkaftz4gB
"You're a menace, Ryuu," Fuuma said, shaking his head in disbelief.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBiXFkhLmY
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYP13wVsml
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.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLB15edFna
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvyJ71piwJ
"Where's Aoi?" Ryuu asked, his voice suddenly serious.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJTpglU4oZ
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImeWBVTFVi
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?"298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Dmnxqb5PG
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbAPSoA39r
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.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAbhYCtPph
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMfJU8ZqlG
"We have to find her," he said, his voice firm. "Let's go back inside."298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiowX3DYlTy
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaQJSinrwE
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.
