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.34Please respect copyright.PENANA30PSsKb9Ph

"This is torture," Ryuu whispered to Fuuma, his eyes rolling.34Please respect copyright.PENANAHMUNc7FQFx
34Please respect copyright.PENANAsnonZYhoi3
"Tell me about it," Fuuma replied, burying his face in his textbook.34Please respect copyright.PENANAojSZXtkCVJ

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.34Please respect copyright.PENANAqO0z4MIAim

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.34Please respect copyright.PENANAZjI5JtCK66
34Please respect copyright.PENANA1rRRjlwiFS
"Fire! Fire!" someone screamed.34Please respect copyright.PENANAOXfSeuUaPk
34Please respect copyright.PENANAeipv9voINJ
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!"34Please respect copyright.PENANAabvBer8RCm
34Please respect copyright.PENANAp7RkOp03vE
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!"34Please respect copyright.PENANAobc34ruJTy
34Please respect copyright.PENANAuzxVwm2SVS
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.34Please respect copyright.PENANA7l5dw229L4
34Please respect copyright.PENANAUsqqj3rG93
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."34Please respect copyright.PENANAW5InJLvSzO
34Please respect copyright.PENANAofsT9zAETL
Fuuma, exasperated, slapped his hand over Ryuu's mouth. "Will you be quiet!"34Please respect copyright.PENANAWN3JAgQbcy
34Please respect copyright.PENANAwtyGTR6HR2
"But it's a classic!" Ryuu protested, his eyes sparkling with mischief.34Please respect copyright.PENANASAAnGy6sUi
34Please respect copyright.PENANAy1sGwceoYg
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.34Please respect copyright.PENANAaZcEOqVi7s
34Please respect copyright.PENANA05KnUFF9oM
"I told you it was going to be epic!" he declared, his voice filled with pride.34Please respect copyright.PENANAEsrToeddeT
34Please respect copyright.PENANAb51VMMTUOC
"You're a menace, Ryuu," Fuuma said, shaking his head in disbelief.34Please respect copyright.PENANApVw2vewpG9
34Please respect copyright.PENANAVAyPQ2Ldd9
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.34Please respect copyright.PENANAJMVWUefDAp
34Please respect copyright.PENANAeO9uAc08wR
"Where's Aoi?" Ryuu asked, his voice suddenly serious.34Please respect copyright.PENANAbYOWKpasBL
34Please respect copyright.PENANA0Pu5yStfgV
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?"34Please respect copyright.PENANA0G5G1XRndn
34Please respect copyright.PENANAL8ckF88ZIp
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.34Please respect copyright.PENANAzZ4m6wVEAc
34Please respect copyright.PENANARlJEiNES1D
"We have to find her," he said, his voice firm. "Let's go back inside."34Please respect copyright.PENANAy6t7nbIDr4
34Please respect copyright.PENANA6IRR3tNpJV
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.
