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.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcerrVaTY1

"This is torture," Ryuu whispered to Fuuma, his eyes rolling.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xt5Ji1E8J
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxt4J5h4ej
"Tell me about it," Fuuma replied, burying his face in his textbook.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1US97NkIe

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.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrIRlEbkxg

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.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB5IFlLOtK

"Fire! Fire!" someone screamed.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBU72bVSF5
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQxFDOENc6
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!"158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS9sUiMfAH
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcckeJBACXt
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!"158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1kIOYlgoT
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QR7YxiTth
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.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuVM1TtZae

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."158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAHEHDYtjB
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRllh1Sik5
Fuuma, exasperated, slapped his hand over Ryuu's mouth. "Will you be quiet!"158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv91CpTCjk
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dTQNAJ5K3
"But it's a classic!" Ryuu protested, his eyes sparkling with mischief.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYujgdMKsp
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xFY4AD4m3
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.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5pYz1MHYF
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjD2vzj8oH
"I told you it was going to be epic!" he declared, his voice filled with pride.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFoIM1BBZq
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVYzhfkKcZ
"You're a menace, Ryuu," Fuuma said, shaking his head in disbelief.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBKhNOscBX
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBIzPpU1TZ
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.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMlc9RGMIH
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM0VpDSrRE
"Where's Aoi?" Ryuu asked, his voice suddenly serious.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAvWVVGhGM
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI3zzjdMxd
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?"158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6DeHZorRG
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljniZOij6M
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.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGkx8Gu61S
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCDB5eBhSN
"We have to find her," he said, his voice firm. "Let's go back inside."158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7Bbwmnekb
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepfuLqqkwD
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.
