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.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIVLaCcXFG

"This is torture," Ryuu whispered to Fuuma, his eyes rolling.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG1GutvW2v
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbfNvUmXHD
"Tell me about it," Fuuma replied, burying his face in his textbook.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2qbekRYML

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.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeIUzwO5Pe
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfIjSWvGhB
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.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQR3eZYcMb

"Fire! Fire!" someone screamed.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoakDGEk2X
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GH5nnhMbN
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!"317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyamHfE4Ptw
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyqhLvUYyb
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!"317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6jDs9qI69
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx8NMq4Hpg
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.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG9oH5Sdht
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAcDG6UBNg
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."317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9v0kfhgxD
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStMFF3MpFR
Fuuma, exasperated, slapped his hand over Ryuu's mouth. "Will you be quiet!"317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cbEQy8dhD
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM1flwvdGy
"But it's a classic!" Ryuu protested, his eyes sparkling with mischief.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v48pyTzX4
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzfJk9dBWf
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.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdhzHJ52XM
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKFCkz3xjP
"I told you it was going to be epic!" he declared, his voice filled with pride.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct1g6dXvph
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tRL5JFCMe
"You're a menace, Ryuu," Fuuma said, shaking his head in disbelief.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6XTjmLF8J
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDORuyTwEwg
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.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4OiuFC7ZE
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSVJhuHSF0
"Where's Aoi?" Ryuu asked, his voice suddenly serious.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjuEBE8FDW
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKyNjc0t4j
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?"317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY0gHYuEmN
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OZG3iQGof
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.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjSR6TGM0Z
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFuqmfG0Fc
"We have to find her," he said, his voice firm. "Let's go back inside."317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5vfbGlh4D
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1pHwyKmYf
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.
