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.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPsVr2lrZh

"This is torture," Ryuu whispered to Fuuma, his eyes rolling.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24VkVzlfb3
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaM2OBOEci
"Tell me about it," Fuuma replied, burying his face in his textbook.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xz4VoMkU2

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.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX27IdIDfV

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.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdtcE9hPfc

"Fire! Fire!" someone screamed.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjmvd6v8is
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r62Vy5Qag
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!"288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo0nQraKUz
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJyCJ2MQPP
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!"288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuDToYredt
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9yqkFN8Ei
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.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUcMpLFTqW
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FKFVM8Cgi
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."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Kss51krBY
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRJKcFIoM0
Fuuma, exasperated, slapped his hand over Ryuu's mouth. "Will you be quiet!"288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY1rDspysn
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K8qCw4p0a
"But it's a classic!" Ryuu protested, his eyes sparkling with mischief.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnHUyr74WY
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFBwQOxeYQ
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.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXtVKqSXHi
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyWRaEijei
"I told you it was going to be epic!" he declared, his voice filled with pride.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2lq57pSlT
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk9Ne9w44g
"You're a menace, Ryuu," Fuuma said, shaking his head in disbelief.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5oIqEmCWH
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTbwsF9zlx
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.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7RgE8b6cA
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhRNGOQgH1
"Where's Aoi?" Ryuu asked, his voice suddenly serious.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzjFt8bLzB
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmWGkk555J
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?"288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bVkCt5VG1
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s8vi0X3Rf
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.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVztDo8TJd
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ce3gWW2jR
"We have to find her," he said, his voice firm. "Let's go back inside."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzigKZZyfl
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY9gCIvaT1
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.
