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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0pYGvINVe

"This is torture," Ryuu whispered to Fuuma, his eyes rolling.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7ROn6VCFE
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVHlNbNLnG
"Tell me about it," Fuuma replied, burying his face in his textbook.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LmYsZgnlb

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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqE4jCkV6u
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AwOK8Wlbq
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwEuudDlqE
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko04tD41zA
"Fire! Fire!" someone screamed.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj25JwtdESc
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW6ORpPRF0
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!"351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mcP2EU32V
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oVZiOkMrd
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!"351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo12XjXEAPu
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZoiUDu7oc
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIOmTgtO9a
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrp12PCzPKX
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."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIKda39QTW
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWsS7C2Bc4
Fuuma, exasperated, slapped his hand over Ryuu's mouth. "Will you be quiet!"351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhkD1CSHsL
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79XqRTVmvn
"But it's a classic!" Ryuu protested, his eyes sparkling with mischief.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhUeUmJbmN
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTC6UbQ7jU
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZEP813MoX
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7Tjerbow0
"I told you it was going to be epic!" he declared, his voice filled with pride.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdcqAd07Zy
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVKKOPYdkM
"You're a menace, Ryuu," Fuuma said, shaking his head in disbelief.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVld8gyLpp
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBN1dOyWN2
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMgUept2gp
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1UAUeKHC1
"Where's Aoi?" Ryuu asked, his voice suddenly serious.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszUVoiiHiz
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHnnZv6PhS
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?"351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO3ssTT0qi
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuJCvlPQA5
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjMx9Psaie
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTCaDukZEj
"We have to find her," he said, his voice firm. "Let's go back inside."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz23apZjWK
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3UM4V6sXk
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.
