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.269Please respect copyright.PENANATaZaK46WRc

"This is torture," Ryuu whispered to Fuuma, his eyes rolling.269Please respect copyright.PENANAyruuA3FpMF
269Please respect copyright.PENANAAPEgwVp3lP
"Tell me about it," Fuuma replied, burying his face in his textbook.269Please respect copyright.PENANACgQquJZUc2

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.269Please respect copyright.PENANA46XOJJyjqt
269Please respect copyright.PENANAr86cZkiWVT
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.269Please respect copyright.PENANAp1dvAYdojS
269Please respect copyright.PENANAaKXnSPGVum
"Fire! Fire!" someone screamed.269Please respect copyright.PENANAyzqZaVCZF0
269Please respect copyright.PENANAdVm9AOH3lE
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!"269Please respect copyright.PENANABOX6Ex7hto
269Please respect copyright.PENANABTunwDiT48
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!"269Please respect copyright.PENANADwbrZ14OnX
269Please respect copyright.PENANA7LK3ePkORR
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.269Please respect copyright.PENANAnz1W1o1KpE
269Please respect copyright.PENANAhvwohBVkvW
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."269Please respect copyright.PENANAHzlIHZvy6g
269Please respect copyright.PENANAWipIuVmdOK
Fuuma, exasperated, slapped his hand over Ryuu's mouth. "Will you be quiet!"269Please respect copyright.PENANAilUPmehVRk
269Please respect copyright.PENANAnp9SX8Sxf1
"But it's a classic!" Ryuu protested, his eyes sparkling with mischief.269Please respect copyright.PENANAev0mQ1VP0R
269Please respect copyright.PENANA0p43z1uRJd
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.269Please respect copyright.PENANAW67VoHTFr2
269Please respect copyright.PENANABJN7yCyEvq
"I told you it was going to be epic!" he declared, his voice filled with pride.269Please respect copyright.PENANAWyg6UlVGcH
269Please respect copyright.PENANAhUSeK2VZ4p
"You're a menace, Ryuu," Fuuma said, shaking his head in disbelief.269Please respect copyright.PENANAifRhWWSkpV
269Please respect copyright.PENANAAaq5tx7uGC
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.269Please respect copyright.PENANAkzGCRQHVNd
269Please respect copyright.PENANAP9mywqHiqb
"Where's Aoi?" Ryuu asked, his voice suddenly serious.269Please respect copyright.PENANAZlUor919fy
269Please respect copyright.PENANAdUwlWue953
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?"269Please respect copyright.PENANAyitH3m0bHe
269Please respect copyright.PENANA6bXLuG4ZOI
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.269Please respect copyright.PENANAz8K5oFSZ7f
269Please respect copyright.PENANAcm0jTaVSu1
"We have to find her," he said, his voice firm. "Let's go back inside."269Please respect copyright.PENANAdChZJDwXWl
269Please respect copyright.PENANABVRQVdDlS9
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.
