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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHXKFnsXtf

"This is torture," Ryuu whispered to Fuuma, his eyes rolling.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyAqCz0O7j
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxYDK6RHQd
"Tell me about it," Fuuma replied, burying his face in his textbook.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsog7CFiVaK

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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRX4YIRklD
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW38azik5z
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROFMxPdy58
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9NCt2clvi
"Fire! Fire!" someone screamed.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkr0YrQwAX
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukrw7Lh2PS
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!"159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiPNGzxWlH
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx8E2czILP
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!"159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTaSndmdwd
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRspuzYMm4u
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6Lol8cORC

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."159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwk8slXGVJ
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrOubRioT2
Fuuma, exasperated, slapped his hand over Ryuu's mouth. "Will you be quiet!"159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyH2czxeGw
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNUUCCV3gy
"But it's a classic!" Ryuu protested, his eyes sparkling with mischief.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Pd4xGvA6u
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjXeLKbJ3m
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1UW0nHUGQ
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JjiARSwix
"I told you it was going to be epic!" he declared, his voice filled with pride.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6G5Lq2rHS
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISMrMjrlim
"You're a menace, Ryuu," Fuuma said, shaking his head in disbelief.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0vtJqtSxX
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwRO4pxDJm
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr7lD6gPLw
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiTCNEsenO
"Where's Aoi?" Ryuu asked, his voice suddenly serious.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOdxSomgKJ
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCPDhbgo7m
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?"159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGB75XUhji
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnF7DaL7Kc
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zjOuFZrkj
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0iXojKxXi
"We have to find her," he said, his voice firm. "Let's go back inside."159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT1L6mLtHO
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsBpUrqpYR
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.
