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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyKHn9WGu1

"This is torture," Ryuu whispered to Fuuma, his eyes rolling.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD0A0SLATD
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6TVIT51c4
"Tell me about it," Fuuma replied, burying his face in his textbook.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfebqcO63dd

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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEXjD9HGqs
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU6z3POg5q
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56m2Pcugs8
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cH5jX0PvQ
"Fire! Fire!" someone screamed.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaJ5Nsnze0
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GeAaxSw9g
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!"117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SpUMKlEiq
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerQCPUXZvO
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!"117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55hRfktwr5
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7E2CMpCGT
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhktmnyoygn

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."117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj0fZZt8FQ
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKguEWsTLgo
Fuuma, exasperated, slapped his hand over Ryuu's mouth. "Will you be quiet!"117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXj7hQ8zd6
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWPTSz6L35
"But it's a classic!" Ryuu protested, his eyes sparkling with mischief.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTGfq00HeL
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA7XQIuBAO
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L38jsvYLa
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uptMcuZeV
"I told you it was going to be epic!" he declared, his voice filled with pride.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcS1DgxEqt
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA6EwOQWRW
"You're a menace, Ryuu," Fuuma said, shaking his head in disbelief.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPesQ66DBE
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfO8CDiOvN
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS74UueoyOv
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfXNXAaMEP
"Where's Aoi?" Ryuu asked, his voice suddenly serious.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mOOnBao40
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcyq2SnXyN
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?"117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJ51gWR9EJ
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LIGwERdU4
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7Ze5UvfUl
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl9mank5tG
"We have to find her," he said, his voice firm. "Let's go back inside."117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovl1DKvhiV
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdrMoSItjC
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.
