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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzC0AqZ8Ul

"This is torture," Ryuu whispered to Fuuma, his eyes rolling.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Vvh1DBJnZ
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WqyjdpODD
"Tell me about it," Fuuma replied, burying his face in his textbook.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fWTfHcrzn

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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFrLCoF1Wi
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejppMlOmRb
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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPCnmvL2yC
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaml8JL2X6
"Fire! Fire!" someone screamed.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4dYze6B0a
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvv47cpd4r
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!"163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWM0ELM8la
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJARCbkHdZ
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!"163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ9BqlznHU
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6y2lkCLj4
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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGStCeMGHvK
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ERririVgn
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."163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrPf6cGapM
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o0VYzIk4l
Fuuma, exasperated, slapped his hand over Ryuu's mouth. "Will you be quiet!"163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0HVn4eOuz
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxnlahTxpp
"But it's a classic!" Ryuu protested, his eyes sparkling with mischief.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUyKJbOKKl
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9VXGjjyWB
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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc1uomKToo
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7hnJ9icxq
"I told you it was going to be epic!" he declared, his voice filled with pride.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoEYgQXjou
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xPYBUnwdK
"You're a menace, Ryuu," Fuuma said, shaking his head in disbelief.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDxn7RF8xT
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLG6kMbSRY
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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3mKQU8QLI
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0kybaf7Wy
"Where's Aoi?" Ryuu asked, his voice suddenly serious.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQFrNYmn48
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VzungHkDC
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?"163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNzOQi8Pzm
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6dXOne1Gj
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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTTeQhgUrf
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yrQvvO8O6
"We have to find her," he said, his voice firm. "Let's go back inside."163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYM8UME140
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIWSzEjoyS
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.
