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.236Please respect copyright.PENANAMdSwRpBc8I
236Please respect copyright.PENANAYmffqOzjmo
"This is torture," Ryuu whispered to Fuuma, his eyes rolling.236Please respect copyright.PENANAdcrS5zfNoY
236Please respect copyright.PENANAFNMqFMuRVt
"Tell me about it," Fuuma replied, burying his face in his textbook.236Please respect copyright.PENANAUS2X5K4c8D
236Please respect copyright.PENANAatbEwXEWw9
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.236Please respect copyright.PENANALoAFEiQW7A
236Please respect copyright.PENANAsBTTbiHOVR
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.236Please respect copyright.PENANAMzD6qiQVgt
236Please respect copyright.PENANAsGPsXu6QGj
"Fire! Fire!" someone screamed.236Please respect copyright.PENANAbbCudj0F9W
236Please respect copyright.PENANAelb5Sf8XWX
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!"236Please respect copyright.PENANA7qybdIeocu
236Please respect copyright.PENANAGgk7LAsMy4
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!"236Please respect copyright.PENANApUARqKNphR
236Please respect copyright.PENANAbAcf6zdZFy
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.236Please respect copyright.PENANAVcPhamfXF0
236Please respect copyright.PENANAjgX0kZZ7Kp
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."236Please respect copyright.PENANAJneghtnv8W
236Please respect copyright.PENANAujRPglveVK
Fuuma, exasperated, slapped his hand over Ryuu's mouth. "Will you be quiet!"236Please respect copyright.PENANA9eMr8MUQDw
236Please respect copyright.PENANAPUtwdxh25n
"But it's a classic!" Ryuu protested, his eyes sparkling with mischief.236Please respect copyright.PENANA8swtytRcm2
236Please respect copyright.PENANAUPTGqxekYo
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.236Please respect copyright.PENANANKLZuZyMxI
236Please respect copyright.PENANAnjkntOxrNi
"I told you it was going to be epic!" he declared, his voice filled with pride.236Please respect copyright.PENANAtxZlHLrG5K
236Please respect copyright.PENANAQfMUSwj2jm
"You're a menace, Ryuu," Fuuma said, shaking his head in disbelief.236Please respect copyright.PENANATURQMj66Jc
236Please respect copyright.PENANATh0L8s6cgW
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.236Please respect copyright.PENANAR2DFaKPwSK
236Please respect copyright.PENANA7iIXVnOVus
"Where's Aoi?" Ryuu asked, his voice suddenly serious.236Please respect copyright.PENANAqHQ1COghNx
236Please respect copyright.PENANAXgl1aDsZx2
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?"236Please respect copyright.PENANAtSGkSrmOG9
236Please respect copyright.PENANABh2zooHPwh
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.236Please respect copyright.PENANAD1bNZtiT5G
236Please respect copyright.PENANApWa2dLSMhZ
"We have to find her," he said, his voice firm. "Let's go back inside."236Please respect copyright.PENANAOmwHuyAf4t
236Please respect copyright.PENANAAldwECwgdq
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.
