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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb3TRsMIL6

"This is torture," Ryuu whispered to Fuuma, his eyes rolling.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlHHnLbVk1
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHIwxigtAY
"Tell me about it," Fuuma replied, burying his face in his textbook.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhZ4n0VoUT

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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSLJaNUjIo

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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cpaJb5RuQ
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrO3YAkcfp
"Fire! Fire!" someone screamed.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eYnTBbJYv
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP2YDcDMVk
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!"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4Q5kSsfFh
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ1aFixfFq
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!"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eXS003REk
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFhMy4yWAA
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqGaYeVqSR

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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTiyWul9Z3
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1zC9Ev0MM
Fuuma, exasperated, slapped his hand over Ryuu's mouth. "Will you be quiet!"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfilklQoiJr
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkmNupU57I
"But it's a classic!" Ryuu protested, his eyes sparkling with mischief.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1xcUj2f2z
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalvY5Sz5Tb
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfbFlDIkn0
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOQ7evliiA
"I told you it was going to be epic!" he declared, his voice filled with pride.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SUxfg5CQ8
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8INadVYp3E
"You're a menace, Ryuu," Fuuma said, shaking his head in disbelief.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCZxpxWKwk
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmXr07oxsP
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgZbGT1DQq
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAOIUEXwnm
"Where's Aoi?" Ryuu asked, his voice suddenly serious.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jtXTrtlhO
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fkfxp6SmN
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?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjDmjJ8PDL
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjhCoKYmtS
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFq7iPVdXf
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDcTFv9Eah
"We have to find her," he said, his voice firm. "Let's go back inside."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKj0vu0hDk
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b7hAJV6vT
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.
