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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h7OeXrMX1

"This is torture," Ryuu whispered to Fuuma, his eyes rolling.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBXt79WNm4
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OmZsfiFDf
"Tell me about it," Fuuma replied, burying his face in his textbook.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxJzXAH2mH
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErTrI279fV
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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nWTUodadi
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9emMOy3WQY
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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YI4Do2aJW

"Fire! Fire!" someone screamed.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM1nXwBSLi
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpBDxhyFh4
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!"289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg9UfGVKfB
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMyJ268PWG
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!"289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX1Fc3BXSy
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4xr7Q3yTE
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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3GW8HiCkH
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTwx90aSPE
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."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ782gW4uG
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwkUwGsYXJ
Fuuma, exasperated, slapped his hand over Ryuu's mouth. "Will you be quiet!"289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVLaCoqmUo
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqtI27lOx1
"But it's a classic!" Ryuu protested, his eyes sparkling with mischief.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRdP4PpesP
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50wMVd4UWJ
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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N3BIVo23I
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLxhUlTmyj
"I told you it was going to be epic!" he declared, his voice filled with pride.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYT9o6nzwk
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOPZnShllr
"You're a menace, Ryuu," Fuuma said, shaking his head in disbelief.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARh4ubG1GB
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53hQn7vfcm
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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLi5pjuOyH
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLYEcPzEWp
"Where's Aoi?" Ryuu asked, his voice suddenly serious.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI1uz9Mt6k
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j8JcQxxdR
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?"289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneUSzvKhdy
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXTh4WTalK
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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T9zrGEFiV
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydVXZPWslF
"We have to find her," he said, his voice firm. "Let's go back inside."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf78xI4lQ7Z
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe1cpK2oWZ
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.
