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.399Please respect copyright.PENANAGXMfPlrnqe

"This is torture," Ryuu whispered to Fuuma, his eyes rolling.399Please respect copyright.PENANAcKYU403kRC
399Please respect copyright.PENANAEDilpd65sN
"Tell me about it," Fuuma replied, burying his face in his textbook.399Please respect copyright.PENANAHvekCm9U5g

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.399Please respect copyright.PENANAUd2eYEYYIz

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.399Please respect copyright.PENANA8n2yGEGOd3
399Please respect copyright.PENANADbXKZSIfeH
"Fire! Fire!" someone screamed.399Please respect copyright.PENANActOFdWkYr9
399Please respect copyright.PENANAB6lM4Zu84k
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!"399Please respect copyright.PENANAJVcFhto2Ou
399Please respect copyright.PENANAT3bjeHWJCu
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!"399Please respect copyright.PENANA6lHrfnhuE4
399Please respect copyright.PENANAxxNcBpbsL4
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.399Please respect copyright.PENANA86c0VyqIzI
399Please respect copyright.PENANAjZpWL8NH3I
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."399Please respect copyright.PENANAYKCHQ4Lxo4
399Please respect copyright.PENANAOq4OMtqdb1
Fuuma, exasperated, slapped his hand over Ryuu's mouth. "Will you be quiet!"399Please respect copyright.PENANAOXsEJXm7XF
399Please respect copyright.PENANAosgFXwWOsk
"But it's a classic!" Ryuu protested, his eyes sparkling with mischief.399Please respect copyright.PENANA0qdVHmaTth
399Please respect copyright.PENANA2TiHGPAOFR
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.399Please respect copyright.PENANAG8uibMcyTn
399Please respect copyright.PENANAPK8rU8Gg1q
"I told you it was going to be epic!" he declared, his voice filled with pride.399Please respect copyright.PENANAGzUjfUonhp
399Please respect copyright.PENANAOroEhI5YF6
"You're a menace, Ryuu," Fuuma said, shaking his head in disbelief.399Please respect copyright.PENANAolNktcup0z
399Please respect copyright.PENANAlHNZtVL58I
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.399Please respect copyright.PENANAAdeGNYx6QU
399Please respect copyright.PENANACjg4ssyHFL
"Where's Aoi?" Ryuu asked, his voice suddenly serious.399Please respect copyright.PENANAv6TN27apae
399Please respect copyright.PENANAurmzk0Tx9r
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?"399Please respect copyright.PENANAGzUIB7AdPD
399Please respect copyright.PENANACVTHOqvGgX
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.399Please respect copyright.PENANAyOVD3yTt7F
399Please respect copyright.PENANAx16jtOTHVU
"We have to find her," he said, his voice firm. "Let's go back inside."399Please respect copyright.PENANAAmrphV5dmf
399Please respect copyright.PENANAWtlMo74gaa
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.
