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.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd20OliWNJT

"This is torture," Ryuu whispered to Fuuma, his eyes rolling.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHomOcmGIY7
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a74GUP6fX
"Tell me about it," Fuuma replied, burying his face in his textbook.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWvLgEPIyl

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.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9lEdb8I2C
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9tONo8yQ8
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.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2D2LNEwr6

"Fire! Fire!" someone screamed.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEurO8dej4K
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJgaDwlede
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!"208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAOd0abHdr
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmgufoN1I7
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!"208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH2ycuaSoN
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgDu562lQ2
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.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxRVr2nrb8

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."208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NAZ4oEujK
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Xc3d71ZXJ
Fuuma, exasperated, slapped his hand over Ryuu's mouth. "Will you be quiet!"208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu6WcnTcjT
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXHkyZUDwe
"But it's a classic!" Ryuu protested, his eyes sparkling with mischief.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4q3m2mkiJ
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIiHZgJfcS
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.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DhKl8ymkS
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0VVHCmOFV
"I told you it was going to be epic!" he declared, his voice filled with pride.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjameUNZmdA
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4Jcom1e2m
"You're a menace, Ryuu," Fuuma said, shaking his head in disbelief.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lKFKnTSUn
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4ANcW0E63
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.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE1L1WKoTx
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48YgHbQTfY
"Where's Aoi?" Ryuu asked, his voice suddenly serious.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU0V66xBP2
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5UbtzBeUP
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?"208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6bQbKvyLe
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbWIAQ1K2Q
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.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx56mUddYdO
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd104w6L1I
"We have to find her," he said, his voice firm. "Let's go back inside."208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ISXqzFUwJ
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FVxfxi48M
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.
