"Aoi!" Ryuu called out, his voice echoing in the smoke-filled space.31Please respect copyright.PENANAjnKGQEDzfh
31Please respect copyright.PENANAvBUXE2OGFt
There was no answer. The room was empty, except for a single desk overturned in the corner, its contents scattered across the floor.31Please respect copyright.PENANAlkWDYXwese

"She's not here," Fuuma said, his voice strained.31Please respect copyright.PENANAAYKJFYhI59

"Where could she have gone?" Ryuu asked, his brow furrowed in confusion.31Please respect copyright.PENANAGHrOzlWA3w

Suddenly, they noticed a small, crumpled piece of paper lying on the floor near the overturned desk. Ryuu picked it up and unfolded it, his eyes widening in surprise.31Please respect copyright.PENANAGy7ERpEhU2
31Please respect copyright.PENANAX6c1SNv9qL
It was a note, written in Aoi's neat handwriting. "I'm going to the library," it read. "Meet me there in 30 minutes."31Please respect copyright.PENANAEFrdo4x7Vo
31Please respect copyright.PENANAERG0YqpiXP
"The library?" Ryuu said, his voice filled with confusion. "Why would she go to the library?"31Please respect copyright.PENANAEwrmgCizE8
31Please respect copyright.PENANAByKHtcgpeC
Fuuma shrugged. "I don't know, but we need to find her."31Please respect copyright.PENANAOwYjAHmv1I
31Please respect copyright.PENANAvIUXLYMmYx
They rushed out of the classroom and headed towards the library, their hearts filled with a mixture of relief and curiosity. What was Aoi doing at the library? And why had she left them a note?31Please respect copyright.PENANAb84EEt3Gw6
31Please respect copyright.PENANAVTh3m6Coys
As they entered the library, they were greeted by a scene of quiet order and concentration. Students were scattered throughout the room, their heads bent over books, their faces illuminated by the soft glow of reading lamps.31Please respect copyright.PENANACj5MyJKLPa
31Please respect copyright.PENANAONhf9eGwZv
Ryuu scanned the room, his eyes searching for Aoi. He spotted her sitting at a table in the back corner, her head buried in a thick volume. He approached her cautiously, his footsteps silent on the carpeted floor.31Please respect copyright.PENANA9SNcmMWS4n
31Please respect copyright.PENANA2ABR9SnfR4
"Aoi," he whispered, his voice barely audible above the hushed murmur of the library.31Please respect copyright.PENANA2HoUGoAXtu
31Please respect copyright.PENANAoTyX1RSOKP
Aoi looked up, her eyes widening in surprise. "Ryuu! Fuuma! What are you doing here?"31Please respect copyright.PENANAKJtYd8uCR7
31Please respect copyright.PENANAVQAUmxQb8b
"We were looking for you," Ryuu said, his voice filled with relief. "We thought you were still in the classroom."31Please respect copyright.PENANAKudRUCv6r8
31Please respect copyright.PENANAOr9sEop1cI
"I left a note," Aoi said, pointing to the crumpled piece of paper on the table. "I didn't want to wait for the fire alarm to go off."31Please respect copyright.PENANAB21GbKwRZs
31Please respect copyright.PENANAqUWlOb48jo
"But why did you go to the library?" Fuuma asked, his curiosity piqued.31Please respect copyright.PENANACXdgLqK0ek
31Please respect copyright.PENANAt0dOtracnC
Aoi hesitated for a moment, then sighed. "I needed to do some research for a project," she said. "I'm working on a presentation about the French Revolution."31Please respect copyright.PENANAhXW6Ao5KW0
31Please respect copyright.PENANAsh525Fo1F3
"The French Revolution?" Ryuu said, his eyes widening in disbelief. "That's the same thing Mr. Tanaka was talking about in class!"31Please respect copyright.PENANAV3oPkOoaJl
31Please respect copyright.PENANA4ePwPZKaWX
Aoi nodded. "Yes, it is."31Please respect copyright.PENANAb7CURbbAxW
31Please respect copyright.PENANA6dXZsPybcy
"But you're the class president," Ryuu said. "You don't need to do extra work."31Please respect copyright.PENANAJdV3HvpJGC
31Please respect copyright.PENANAclJkopXse6
"I like to be prepared," Aoi said, her voice firm. "And besides, I find the French Revolution quite fascinating."31Please respect copyright.PENANAUNEebVMbCo
31Please respect copyright.PENANAKO6TIQ94Rj
Ryuu and Fuuma exchanged a look, their faces filled with a mixture of admiration and confusion. They had never seen Aoi so passionate about anything before.31Please respect copyright.PENANAR8QrMAkZ5e
31Please respect copyright.PENANAYT8bWjMFuu
"Well, we're glad you're safe," Fuuma said, his voice laced with relief. "And we're impressed that you're so dedicated to your studies."31Please respect copyright.PENANAbJi814sHGZ
31Please respect copyright.PENANA9DBkjOCeWL
Aoi smiled. "Thanks," she said. "Now, why don't you guys come sit with me? I could use some help with this research."31Please respect copyright.PENANAPOkX4o2DoZ
31Please respect copyright.PENANAb6FUxSXCqE
Ryuu and Fuuma hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement. They spent the next hour poring over books with Aoi, learning about the French Revolution and discovering a new side to their friend.31Please respect copyright.PENANAlIko3VDUFi
31Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7pXxdqNJw
As they left the library, Ryuu couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth and admiration for Aoi. She was more than just the class president; she was a brilliant, passionate, and surprisingly interesting person.31Please respect copyright.PENANA1ysB0p864u
31Please respect copyright.PENANAEEAUKSS01K
"I never knew you were so smart, Aoi," he said, his voice filled with awe.31Please respect copyright.PENANAYcfmn28Lpu
31Please respect copyright.PENANAsDK2hyNRh9
Aoi blushed, a shy smile playing on her lips. "I try," she said. "But I'm not always as serious as I seem."31Please respect copyright.PENANAV21SSNiF8z
31Please respect copyright.PENANAujB3rqSIcl
Ryuu chuckled. "I know," he said. "You're just hiding your true personality."31Please respect copyright.PENANAGPdJBJI6uR
31Please respect copyright.PENANAdSZPCm1GtX
Aoi laughed, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Maybe," she said. "But I'm glad you guys are starting to see the real me."31Please respect copyright.PENANAYb8dagfP3E
31Please respect copyright.PENANA5YTzloVaja
As they walked back to the classroom, Ryuu couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. He had a feeling that this was just the beginning of a long and hilarious friendship with Aoi.
Ryuu, Fuuma, and Eiji left the library, their hearts filled with a mixture of relief and curiosity. Aoi was safe, and they had learned a new side to her personality. But the mystery of the fire alarm remained, and they couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss. The school was buzzing with whispers and rumors, and they knew that their adventure was far from over.
