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.224Please respect copyright.PENANAhJfbwol27g
224Please respect copyright.PENANA8B37D96rk9
"Aoi!" Ryuu called out, his voice echoing in the smoke-filled space.224Please respect copyright.PENANAlk1JLScZ3G
224Please respect copyright.PENANAeWbUZ7IugZ
There was no answer. The room was empty, except for a single desk overturned in the corner, its contents scattered across the floor.224Please respect copyright.PENANApbx9xSTDgc
224Please respect copyright.PENANAYoAnphASRx
"She's not here," Fuuma said, his voice strained.224Please respect copyright.PENANA6f7LX7oy11
224Please respect copyright.PENANACbcbDUktnm
"Where could she have gone?" Ryuu asked, his brow furrowed in confusion.224Please respect copyright.PENANA93OFgz88pr
224Please respect copyright.PENANAQiGnxztwmk
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.224Please respect copyright.PENANAjTL7WOWYkA
224Please respect copyright.PENANAae3zcbYWuZ
It was a note, written in Aoi's neat handwriting. "I'm going to the library," it read. "Meet me there in 30 minutes."224Please respect copyright.PENANAzTj1VqP95P
224Please respect copyright.PENANAX3PJFKRDzb
"The library?" Ryuu said, his voice filled with confusion. "Why would she go to the library?"224Please respect copyright.PENANAYcolDJUBJ2
224Please respect copyright.PENANAp51UA6Cq2u
Fuuma shrugged. "I don't know, but we need to find her."224Please respect copyright.PENANA8Qip45qE8m
224Please respect copyright.PENANAwD3VWq5Jgz
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?224Please respect copyright.PENANAzyrUGbJzKh
224Please respect copyright.PENANAA5vjb86lts
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.224Please respect copyright.PENANABFZ4mAmkFe
224Please respect copyright.PENANAxq1waj6xzb
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.224Please respect copyright.PENANAlX6Atz0lzD
224Please respect copyright.PENANAnVODddjB6L
"Aoi," he whispered, his voice barely audible above the hushed murmur of the library.224Please respect copyright.PENANAPLRFLydr9B
224Please respect copyright.PENANAzSk8iY5dwB
Aoi looked up, her eyes widening in surprise. "Ryuu! Fuuma! What are you doing here?"224Please respect copyright.PENANAZBwrN10YHi
224Please respect copyright.PENANARN3GGu6fPu
"We were looking for you," Ryuu said, his voice filled with relief. "We thought you were still in the classroom."224Please respect copyright.PENANAUVTRxjS1aI
224Please respect copyright.PENANAkiGIbfFh28
"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."224Please respect copyright.PENANAKHUnRrx5Ga
224Please respect copyright.PENANAcLCK6nznRK
"But why did you go to the library?" Fuuma asked, his curiosity piqued.224Please respect copyright.PENANA9IoSfMAfm1
224Please respect copyright.PENANArLrsJPk3GT
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."224Please respect copyright.PENANAYshZdngzCN
224Please respect copyright.PENANAE1Dxg2cHA1
"The French Revolution?" Ryuu said, his eyes widening in disbelief. "That's the same thing Mr. Tanaka was talking about in class!"224Please respect copyright.PENANAECvMzh3vVd
224Please respect copyright.PENANAGltnm4Kqq4
Aoi nodded. "Yes, it is."224Please respect copyright.PENANABIXqo0KBSO
224Please respect copyright.PENANAy87D9fy7Uk
"But you're the class president," Ryuu said. "You don't need to do extra work."224Please respect copyright.PENANAAmNOslvtV0
224Please respect copyright.PENANA7x1F9ASqz0
"I like to be prepared," Aoi said, her voice firm. "And besides, I find the French Revolution quite fascinating."224Please respect copyright.PENANAhzPiPHl7Og
224Please respect copyright.PENANAjX6pKE8mcg
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.224Please respect copyright.PENANAcNgSuxqgsn
224Please respect copyright.PENANA5iHMDmm3h9
"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."224Please respect copyright.PENANAN9CYFiuX0o
224Please respect copyright.PENANAKlMkxDZNv2
Aoi smiled. "Thanks," she said. "Now, why don't you guys come sit with me? I could use some help with this research."224Please respect copyright.PENANAU5F1xGcJ4p
224Please respect copyright.PENANAtUGu9P2Z2u
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.224Please respect copyright.PENANAD5XIW8SBzq
224Please respect copyright.PENANAzkCDBgRyQc
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.224Please respect copyright.PENANAY1OQj28dbY
224Please respect copyright.PENANABshVI1AtYs
"I never knew you were so smart, Aoi," he said, his voice filled with awe.224Please respect copyright.PENANArykb4PqSzz
224Please respect copyright.PENANAXHGIhbV7Lo
Aoi blushed, a shy smile playing on her lips. "I try," she said. "But I'm not always as serious as I seem."224Please respect copyright.PENANAjMgUnzgdYQ
224Please respect copyright.PENANAXX5OK32BdI
Ryuu chuckled. "I know," he said. "You're just hiding your true personality."224Please respect copyright.PENANA4EHwt6fMNb
224Please respect copyright.PENANAOh5CvxzSZA
Aoi laughed, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Maybe," she said. "But I'm glad you guys are starting to see the real me."224Please respect copyright.PENANAxYIfPuZpkr
224Please respect copyright.PENANAEq5vyb74c8
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.
