The classroom was filled with smoke and the acrid smell of burning paper. Ryuu and Fuuma cautiously made their way inside, their eyes scanning the room for any sign of Aoi.278Please respect copyright.PENANAWl1LHcMKCf
278Please respect copyright.PENANALoyJy3MTBl
"Aoi!" Ryuu called out, his voice echoing in the smoke-filled space.278Please respect copyright.PENANAbXClBI4tVa
278Please respect copyright.PENANAHgHsRotpda
There was no answer. The room was empty, except for a single desk overturned in the corner, its contents scattered across the floor.278Please respect copyright.PENANAhrru97T5OK
278Please respect copyright.PENANA2iTn7qXyWC
"She's not here," Fuuma said, his voice strained.278Please respect copyright.PENANAlMT8XxBtSb
278Please respect copyright.PENANARu8KvrAb4u
"Where could she have gone?" Ryuu asked, his brow furrowed in confusion.278Please respect copyright.PENANAMU1GjWNYcM
278Please respect copyright.PENANAvXNQSA6iLp
Suddenly, they noticed a small, crumpled piece of paper lying on the floor near the overturned desk. Ryuu picked it up and unfolded it, his eyes widening in surprise.278Please respect copyright.PENANAgjCOsI43i3
278Please respect copyright.PENANAD6RVN5uv0y
It was a note, written in Aoi's neat handwriting. "I'm going to the library," it read. "Meet me there in 30 minutes."278Please respect copyright.PENANAKroiphWZMK
278Please respect copyright.PENANAPAacgZWVQD
"The library?" Ryuu said, his voice filled with confusion. "Why would she go to the library?"278Please respect copyright.PENANANTBAcVnT3W
278Please respect copyright.PENANATwdqaI4cwW
Fuuma shrugged. "I don't know, but we need to find her."278Please respect copyright.PENANA1gTi0gj501
278Please respect copyright.PENANAkWbw4HIMNP
They rushed out of the classroom and headed towards the library, their hearts filled with a mixture of relief and curiosity. What was Aoi doing at the library? And why had she left them a note?278Please respect copyright.PENANA8wt1ncoTIe
278Please respect copyright.PENANAKbDV5t0wTH
As they entered the library, they were greeted by a scene of quiet order and concentration. Students were scattered throughout the room, their heads bent over books, their faces illuminated by the soft glow of reading lamps.278Please respect copyright.PENANA467nK3HX0T
278Please respect copyright.PENANAFRnzgleFqA
Ryuu scanned the room, his eyes searching for Aoi. He spotted her sitting at a table in the back corner, her head buried in a thick volume. He approached her cautiously, his footsteps silent on the carpeted floor.278Please respect copyright.PENANAej3saWKCPE
278Please respect copyright.PENANAw8ueh6xZaz
"Aoi," he whispered, his voice barely audible above the hushed murmur of the library.278Please respect copyright.PENANAoIWJZmqGMI
278Please respect copyright.PENANAeKO323WhMT
Aoi looked up, her eyes widening in surprise. "Ryuu! Fuuma! What are you doing here?"278Please respect copyright.PENANAlkDB5fQ4a8
278Please respect copyright.PENANAzJRsQXmeZL
"We were looking for you," Ryuu said, his voice filled with relief. "We thought you were still in the classroom."278Please respect copyright.PENANAfJPoUwpElB
278Please respect copyright.PENANAHn88uZnlZT
"I left a note," Aoi said, pointing to the crumpled piece of paper on the table. "I didn't want to wait for the fire alarm to go off."278Please respect copyright.PENANAQWTNfXW9mA
278Please respect copyright.PENANAoQrVvDVicu
"But why did you go to the library?" Fuuma asked, his curiosity piqued.278Please respect copyright.PENANAshJTGxqFU5
278Please respect copyright.PENANAsjc58w82Bz
Aoi hesitated for a moment, then sighed. "I needed to do some research for a project," she said. "I'm working on a presentation about the French Revolution."278Please respect copyright.PENANAEsxypuAWic
278Please respect copyright.PENANAgu1HgkvAdT
"The French Revolution?" Ryuu said, his eyes widening in disbelief. "That's the same thing Mr. Tanaka was talking about in class!"278Please respect copyright.PENANA9KoWc4aFjG
278Please respect copyright.PENANA2qtmodXwjE
Aoi nodded. "Yes, it is."278Please respect copyright.PENANAxXk4KvIAe5
278Please respect copyright.PENANADUTTaRYVb2
"But you're the class president," Ryuu said. "You don't need to do extra work."278Please respect copyright.PENANAhCsdOff0Ev
278Please respect copyright.PENANAdTAyZWv6P6
"I like to be prepared," Aoi said, her voice firm. "And besides, I find the French Revolution quite fascinating."278Please respect copyright.PENANAZUk4Dkhg38
278Please respect copyright.PENANA8SXuAUGObB
Ryuu and Fuuma exchanged a look, their faces filled with a mixture of admiration and confusion. They had never seen Aoi so passionate about anything before.278Please respect copyright.PENANAsLZYBDBBob
278Please respect copyright.PENANAAZYYn2P6sB
"Well, we're glad you're safe," Fuuma said, his voice laced with relief. "And we're impressed that you're so dedicated to your studies."278Please respect copyright.PENANAjr7YBKSMpE
278Please respect copyright.PENANAXSK79gBLdl
Aoi smiled. "Thanks," she said. "Now, why don't you guys come sit with me? I could use some help with this research."278Please respect copyright.PENANAo9cU2JBcXi
278Please respect copyright.PENANAmCA2KK0Wc1
Ryuu and Fuuma hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement. They spent the next hour poring over books with Aoi, learning about the French Revolution and discovering a new side to their friend.278Please respect copyright.PENANA2pBxUNSYvX
278Please respect copyright.PENANAO7rqDA8RCf
As they left the library, Ryuu couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth and admiration for Aoi. She was more than just the class president; she was a brilliant, passionate, and surprisingly interesting person.278Please respect copyright.PENANAoVyaYqXpOs
278Please respect copyright.PENANADBJK3ezduw
"I never knew you were so smart, Aoi," he said, his voice filled with awe.278Please respect copyright.PENANANxsw90CDME
278Please respect copyright.PENANAA3jeXxXmZQ
Aoi blushed, a shy smile playing on her lips. "I try," she said. "But I'm not always as serious as I seem."278Please respect copyright.PENANA4FNr1XiW8A
278Please respect copyright.PENANAI2f6AiygTM
Ryuu chuckled. "I know," he said. "You're just hiding your true personality."278Please respect copyright.PENANAJkErlHJbu6
278Please respect copyright.PENANAyEEeLOMg35
Aoi laughed, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Maybe," she said. "But I'm glad you guys are starting to see the real me."278Please respect copyright.PENANA2sGCZWpoW6
278Please respect copyright.PENANAWMPetZ6wFu
As they walked back to the classroom, Ryuu couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. He had a feeling that this was just the beginning of a long and hilarious friendship with Aoi.
Ryuu, Fuuma, and Eiji left the library, their hearts filled with a mixture of relief and curiosity. Aoi was safe, and they had learned a new side to her personality. But the mystery of the fire alarm remained, and they couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss. The school was buzzing with whispers and rumors, and they knew that their adventure was far from over.
