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.230Please respect copyright.PENANAEkW5OImLwz
230Please respect copyright.PENANA4TKyDuWRog
"Aoi!" Ryuu called out, his voice echoing in the smoke-filled space.230Please respect copyright.PENANAKu5FVLReIh
230Please respect copyright.PENANAsJITwbfc1t
There was no answer. The room was empty, except for a single desk overturned in the corner, its contents scattered across the floor.230Please respect copyright.PENANAZdAebiIFou
230Please respect copyright.PENANASSAUziVDPp
"She's not here," Fuuma said, his voice strained.230Please respect copyright.PENANAcfcPmAL8mw
230Please respect copyright.PENANAer6j4kG28C
"Where could she have gone?" Ryuu asked, his brow furrowed in confusion.230Please respect copyright.PENANAGqTH44bZxV
230Please respect copyright.PENANAwdpH52FbRi
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.230Please respect copyright.PENANASnFRDgKoIG
230Please respect copyright.PENANAz0VBE8w8KU
It was a note, written in Aoi's neat handwriting. "I'm going to the library," it read. "Meet me there in 30 minutes."230Please respect copyright.PENANAv47PtwQcOY
230Please respect copyright.PENANAvN4dIQebnF
"The library?" Ryuu said, his voice filled with confusion. "Why would she go to the library?"230Please respect copyright.PENANAE26ELd6KWF
230Please respect copyright.PENANAXqvehOPUhb
Fuuma shrugged. "I don't know, but we need to find her."230Please respect copyright.PENANAUFrMzryasw
230Please respect copyright.PENANAX46yC69pRx
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?230Please respect copyright.PENANAoLihTr2go8
230Please respect copyright.PENANAjwu0WvY2fW
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.230Please respect copyright.PENANA5MicyESUXn
230Please respect copyright.PENANAp45j43X8d6
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.230Please respect copyright.PENANAVTJwOhnTEj
230Please respect copyright.PENANAouqhND1FIb
"Aoi," he whispered, his voice barely audible above the hushed murmur of the library.230Please respect copyright.PENANAcW2JWDB4Xl
230Please respect copyright.PENANAXMMzqpM0Lm
Aoi looked up, her eyes widening in surprise. "Ryuu! Fuuma! What are you doing here?"230Please respect copyright.PENANAh6zHbIxaoE
230Please respect copyright.PENANA9tsRSbZpDt
"We were looking for you," Ryuu said, his voice filled with relief. "We thought you were still in the classroom."230Please respect copyright.PENANA0CFxfkm9U0
230Please respect copyright.PENANAGgKMGBHZSt
"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."230Please respect copyright.PENANAqGBeGJJaaG
230Please respect copyright.PENANAFzoxwPck9A
"But why did you go to the library?" Fuuma asked, his curiosity piqued.230Please respect copyright.PENANAXDXHVLsh9q
230Please respect copyright.PENANAXPfMcv1Uiv
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."230Please respect copyright.PENANAOEg13iUpHW
230Please respect copyright.PENANA2QsrI6rn8F
"The French Revolution?" Ryuu said, his eyes widening in disbelief. "That's the same thing Mr. Tanaka was talking about in class!"230Please respect copyright.PENANA93RFvTVZkv
230Please respect copyright.PENANAHccKKxbTou
Aoi nodded. "Yes, it is."230Please respect copyright.PENANAdXYwUHI1W9
230Please respect copyright.PENANArt9mZmfqFt
"But you're the class president," Ryuu said. "You don't need to do extra work."230Please respect copyright.PENANA6dNebsee0w
230Please respect copyright.PENANAeQ6B5tDtOI
"I like to be prepared," Aoi said, her voice firm. "And besides, I find the French Revolution quite fascinating."230Please respect copyright.PENANAbi7Zv5SPZF
230Please respect copyright.PENANARuGfGw2vD2
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.230Please respect copyright.PENANAK3DCsTbDYF
230Please respect copyright.PENANAF2Zn0ljl4Y
"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."230Please respect copyright.PENANALgrAfwkkgz
230Please respect copyright.PENANAnlUqF0DxM4
Aoi smiled. "Thanks," she said. "Now, why don't you guys come sit with me? I could use some help with this research."230Please respect copyright.PENANAVyXWHCMDVQ
230Please respect copyright.PENANAH214lvEUzk
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.230Please respect copyright.PENANAbClXCQLn9i
230Please respect copyright.PENANAj3PGpHhjtJ
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.230Please respect copyright.PENANAYqKDUTonQ4
230Please respect copyright.PENANASGaaVpW0YP
"I never knew you were so smart, Aoi," he said, his voice filled with awe.230Please respect copyright.PENANAXmyIZ2yE7Y
230Please respect copyright.PENANAqH5D1GPpRl
Aoi blushed, a shy smile playing on her lips. "I try," she said. "But I'm not always as serious as I seem."230Please respect copyright.PENANAkH2saYgvVY
230Please respect copyright.PENANA8u7O7J2C7a
Ryuu chuckled. "I know," he said. "You're just hiding your true personality."230Please respect copyright.PENANAT2wGQniCAA
230Please respect copyright.PENANAOpCMO0GXr0
Aoi laughed, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Maybe," she said. "But I'm glad you guys are starting to see the real me."230Please respect copyright.PENANAx8bTjTnw3r
230Please respect copyright.PENANA7xCU119Xae
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.
