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.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2tbLbEtiX

"This is torture," Ryuu whispered to Fuuma, his eyes rolling.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXD2eN4qLe
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs9oFfZdS7
"Tell me about it," Fuuma replied, burying his face in his textbook.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukyusnLBVs

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.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhsGO253Lk

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.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5UWpgBpZO

"Fire! Fire!" someone screamed.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10XwMvoyLy
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVqklqUQSO
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!"205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Rf9Cy4Wph
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X1sjSYnQv
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!"205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLix47tffCz
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpytQQ3Djt
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.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFvTe19pIq

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."205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxTFWUccwy
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbUfda6hj4
Fuuma, exasperated, slapped his hand over Ryuu's mouth. "Will you be quiet!"205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiYQ3FRo5i
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAVHU6JQ0Q
"But it's a classic!" Ryuu protested, his eyes sparkling with mischief.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41Bu42Qdeo
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtL6qWKp7P
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.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM8Y9aaX5A
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlVMZgKcms
"I told you it was going to be epic!" he declared, his voice filled with pride.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0x6HiNlJa
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKJyCpNIVP
"You're a menace, Ryuu," Fuuma said, shaking his head in disbelief.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdsSRmvLSZ
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVoBd6gQla
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.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbkY3H64sN
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUArGboNljb
"Where's Aoi?" Ryuu asked, his voice suddenly serious.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lYjFaVVS7
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rcc0icE1L
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?"205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsUXjjC3f5
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxztu5OgE8M
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.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpglEeCmHC
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR0edxZmsa
"We have to find her," he said, his voice firm. "Let's go back inside."205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xUX2aXrNE
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPTnfdePbm
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.
