The classroom was filled with smoke and the acrid smell of burning paper. Ryuu and Fuuma cautiously made their way inside, their eyes scanning the room for any sign of Aoi.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfGJ425tBy
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWfSc5RuPY
"Aoi!" Ryuu called out, his voice echoing in the smoke-filled space.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hWyBFnOr8
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfZlkfY5aw
There was no answer. The room was empty, except for a single desk overturned in the corner, its contents scattered across the floor.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIZtfwFYpB
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipTwmmfO34
"She's not here," Fuuma said, his voice strained.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtfa4T4QbL
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbkT1U0gXv
"Where could she have gone?" Ryuu asked, his brow furrowed in confusion.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wylWAieRW
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouJkqy8EUd
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.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC1UzB7z0i
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBSANWpU1G
It was a note, written in Aoi's neat handwriting. "I'm going to the library," it read. "Meet me there in 30 minutes."286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTYb6C4wR4
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQrS4aY58E
"The library?" Ryuu said, his voice filled with confusion. "Why would she go to the library?"286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXOgIwujUC
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmO1G0C8SW
Fuuma shrugged. "I don't know, but we need to find her."286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CQh9gJ4wz
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTF1SdnnHV
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?286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGcxFxzaSt
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBSxMLsp2n
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.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYrTEswWCB
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCTC02yzze
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.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1Tfuwkt8v
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeapxVbkgf
"Aoi," he whispered, his voice barely audible above the hushed murmur of the library.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZXcsPZGEF
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyJerDwACe
Aoi looked up, her eyes widening in surprise. "Ryuu! Fuuma! What are you doing here?"286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbCSTIXp6E
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX9l7Mym4Y
"We were looking for you," Ryuu said, his voice filled with relief. "We thought you were still in the classroom."286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt6x5qnFaW
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9zop7X19c
"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."286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzLlw7cnBB
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrIUo9pM17
"But why did you go to the library?" Fuuma asked, his curiosity piqued.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g2WggQHH6
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFBE52YwDn
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."286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI3A8ouekw
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8SMDGIwbF
"The French Revolution?" Ryuu said, his eyes widening in disbelief. "That's the same thing Mr. Tanaka was talking about in class!"286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJlW14gjhg
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFesYhERJ1t
Aoi nodded. "Yes, it is."286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf033AZdGaR
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVI3u9Bp20x
"But you're the class president," Ryuu said. "You don't need to do extra work."286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU7iszaorU
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIZWHQdIWN
"I like to be prepared," Aoi said, her voice firm. "And besides, I find the French Revolution quite fascinating."286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZoBT92Cev
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC605xtvJH
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.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1DISfv2wD
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHRJZKqeWw
"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."286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQrbsR9jZz
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH3tFrabCA
Aoi smiled. "Thanks," she said. "Now, why don't you guys come sit with me? I could use some help with this research."286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvh14Sf705
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T88mZfZSw
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.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseZCIlHuXh
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8uMIcEtZK
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.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnBSJavzeH
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEUbJRRK3q
"I never knew you were so smart, Aoi," he said, his voice filled with awe.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymL3t8X5VV
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68xegeTkDY
Aoi blushed, a shy smile playing on her lips. "I try," she said. "But I'm not always as serious as I seem."286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksqDgPLqYL
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFANb7WST8
Ryuu chuckled. "I know," he said. "You're just hiding your true personality."286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF25WGniCF3
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ezqY4homb
Aoi laughed, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Maybe," she said. "But I'm glad you guys are starting to see the real me."286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SEUbG82G7
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsif8ObtBG
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.
