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.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeN3qDsx8h

"This is torture," Ryuu whispered to Fuuma, his eyes rolling.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrBZE0DnhG
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJz0LeEo28
"Tell me about it," Fuuma replied, burying his face in his textbook.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aFn04JkNi

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.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwKfip8Bg4

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.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6rLdRrin3

"Fire! Fire!" someone screamed.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP81WWghRE
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURyUD3ruVb
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!"384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0TH8hIhMn
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquh4wWmhGD
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!"384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5m5K71pBV
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TF0UTcx1C
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.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15FWIphdcn

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."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpbX6jbibO
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ssG42kA09
Fuuma, exasperated, slapped his hand over Ryuu's mouth. "Will you be quiet!"384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn1VZ48BFX
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RkLGZL8Gz
"But it's a classic!" Ryuu protested, his eyes sparkling with mischief.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJCiVoP5KO
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HjvWAiccp
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.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO93dLtN1J6
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGIQUjOXzg
"I told you it was going to be epic!" he declared, his voice filled with pride.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk8eNIpZKE
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgE9Avd5bc
"You're a menace, Ryuu," Fuuma said, shaking his head in disbelief.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMtetTutKE
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaIPKkOHjD
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.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8w17qSLYg
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YdJfKiLlK
"Where's Aoi?" Ryuu asked, his voice suddenly serious.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKnMhNQT5h
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT7rZINfTd
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?"384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5Q9JyOH8k
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1ZihgkQgH
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.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AqBsYWGOQ
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHkl6jF1UM
"We have to find her," he said, his voice firm. "Let's go back inside."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlQm0Ngm5I
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yKYH2PAQ0
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.
