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.287Please respect copyright.PENANAsGTqIWaMJN

"This is torture," Ryuu whispered to Fuuma, his eyes rolling.287Please respect copyright.PENANAxdMEGVnpsK
287Please respect copyright.PENANACkCGRBMuRx
"Tell me about it," Fuuma replied, burying his face in his textbook.287Please respect copyright.PENANAOsYK5oysE2

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.287Please respect copyright.PENANAP29NYL3Oe6
287Please respect copyright.PENANAE7mnO0afa7
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.287Please respect copyright.PENANARoblAVzJKQ
287Please respect copyright.PENANAHTgj5RBe4H
"Fire! Fire!" someone screamed.287Please respect copyright.PENANASnDu1q5Ejw
287Please respect copyright.PENANACuxCSl7rnJ
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!"287Please respect copyright.PENANAiX1VPUbJ8u
287Please respect copyright.PENANAfJkX5hBh2C
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!"287Please respect copyright.PENANAZgCsEGdz7F
287Please respect copyright.PENANAhEAYK1d2Pt
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.287Please respect copyright.PENANAnGsQYEqTS3
287Please respect copyright.PENANALvjNLkfFlB
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."287Please respect copyright.PENANAgSjARW0K3p
287Please respect copyright.PENANAoHDzumKV3g
Fuuma, exasperated, slapped his hand over Ryuu's mouth. "Will you be quiet!"287Please respect copyright.PENANAVYZ2VgnXGY
287Please respect copyright.PENANAUBHqId7Jtp
"But it's a classic!" Ryuu protested, his eyes sparkling with mischief.287Please respect copyright.PENANA8E98D0OXBF
287Please respect copyright.PENANAFuaFIEu0Gu
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.287Please respect copyright.PENANAaoapgxTsJ9
287Please respect copyright.PENANAMNU6Bl246c
"I told you it was going to be epic!" he declared, his voice filled with pride.287Please respect copyright.PENANAVIvKd0uWpu
287Please respect copyright.PENANARYHvqAwmPH
"You're a menace, Ryuu," Fuuma said, shaking his head in disbelief.287Please respect copyright.PENANA1FRryjP56p
287Please respect copyright.PENANAPkkwCp4d7f
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.287Please respect copyright.PENANAqGFpAnsJhr
287Please respect copyright.PENANAjiawEC81Al
"Where's Aoi?" Ryuu asked, his voice suddenly serious.287Please respect copyright.PENANAOgwCMEyvMh
287Please respect copyright.PENANALhcosq0l80
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?"287Please respect copyright.PENANAqhJPEL07ql
287Please respect copyright.PENANAkvye3aXHMw
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.287Please respect copyright.PENANAAend7LweJT
287Please respect copyright.PENANAMQKLYVlNNn
"We have to find her," he said, his voice firm. "Let's go back inside."287Please respect copyright.PENANAkKmelpgAXQ
287Please respect copyright.PENANA0M8mNSkHgd
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.
