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.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHYtjb99O5

"This is torture," Ryuu whispered to Fuuma, his eyes rolling.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkNmEvXqf5
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVLducdn9O
"Tell me about it," Fuuma replied, burying his face in his textbook.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhw4B2gf0o

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.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3ItvsLJxb

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.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Nr44WqaCt

"Fire! Fire!" someone screamed.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0nNuFDGPD

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!"157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0DKTNGyrT
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdE0fPemLR
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!"157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B4K4KZ1IH
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUBSX4gJSo
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.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci0ITruC7V

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."157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWQTxWUJ9r
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HSc5cZ8mP
Fuuma, exasperated, slapped his hand over Ryuu's mouth. "Will you be quiet!"157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmCVNVsWrI
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufXWqVhtHb
"But it's a classic!" Ryuu protested, his eyes sparkling with mischief.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJR7Q9IrKl
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYo9NzABKM
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.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1luJMhRBlA
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpEiYjKfoL
"I told you it was going to be epic!" he declared, his voice filled with pride.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbQoCO65Hm
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUecHZArAT
"You're a menace, Ryuu," Fuuma said, shaking his head in disbelief.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKzoSjmqqO
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxELzWe6XEU
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.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0Rc6jNBU0
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk568i6aA1
"Where's Aoi?" Ryuu asked, his voice suddenly serious.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3vVd4zb8u
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RtMVhuxx5
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?"157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeGekg4JAq
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj6ET0h1IG
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.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcELgvhbTKY
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWVNOP4b69
"We have to find her," he said, his voice firm. "Let's go back inside."157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NOQBPySoZ
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcR14aLSqa
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.
