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.193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwtfNoFIgO
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VRG5suCpi
"Aoi!" Ryuu called out, his voice echoing in the smoke-filled space.193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylnVui8Y5J
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEhbLIgBi5
There was no answer. The room was empty, except for a single desk overturned in the corner, its contents scattered across the floor.193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYybJN3NYI
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIj7Nf7IMBf
"She's not here," Fuuma said, his voice strained.193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRAwStV0GC
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbZzSDydx9
"Where could she have gone?" Ryuu asked, his brow furrowed in confusion.193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGZzXHVyJK
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLAx24cR6L
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.193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NhQYBDwIZ
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1jGHrS2IX
It was a note, written in Aoi's neat handwriting. "I'm going to the library," it read. "Meet me there in 30 minutes."193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6N7yMqSiE
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSix9XA797
"The library?" Ryuu said, his voice filled with confusion. "Why would she go to the library?"193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30PWL1QPgW
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqjjLukSlk
Fuuma shrugged. "I don't know, but we need to find her."193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOx2XTsCU8
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnonYW1KGn9
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?193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhniZH42Csy
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZkZpYHmkO
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.193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZHPpr7Voh
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMVgXjS4aY
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.193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvMTfHrSFk
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURnfqDWGce
"Aoi," he whispered, his voice barely audible above the hushed murmur of the library.193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4dUXNObI8
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen9K4EA9SJ
Aoi looked up, her eyes widening in surprise. "Ryuu! Fuuma! What are you doing here?"193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3bgOHb6Bi
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiKkYQHuPi
"We were looking for you," Ryuu said, his voice filled with relief. "We thought you were still in the classroom."193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobJVsv9a0x
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnY75AYx1f
"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."193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWFgeAURVQ
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybiqObTptI
"But why did you go to the library?" Fuuma asked, his curiosity piqued.193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C94WWJZtv
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt87c3Gd42
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."193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9itkjkSBqR
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO3LDhhP1T
"The French Revolution?" Ryuu said, his eyes widening in disbelief. "That's the same thing Mr. Tanaka was talking about in class!"193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11YrMF28Al
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCI2A5CfRe
Aoi nodded. "Yes, it is."193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqTXJRT3se
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gbXavUENG
"But you're the class president," Ryuu said. "You don't need to do extra work."193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74sHPUlUEj
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TewuAkEOH
"I like to be prepared," Aoi said, her voice firm. "And besides, I find the French Revolution quite fascinating."193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPycAxHhvvy
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU47iHctgM
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.193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI8SIr1Ip2
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tOLVXlNaG
"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."193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlDB0YezJi
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAIqfX0PyZ
Aoi smiled. "Thanks," she said. "Now, why don't you guys come sit with me? I could use some help with this research."193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiG9dYu6aj
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP9Y8YryYZ
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.193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT01DY8sW5x
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU51x1oiJn
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.193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSGvPeH3jt
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXiJhKxgFV
"I never knew you were so smart, Aoi," he said, his voice filled with awe.193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eF4DLAJUF
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBKFoiGOcQ
Aoi blushed, a shy smile playing on her lips. "I try," she said. "But I'm not always as serious as I seem."193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCy1em2QtF
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Yp5PFAG0r
Ryuu chuckled. "I know," he said. "You're just hiding your true personality."193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqtxPwBd0i
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwBWfYLmyP
Aoi laughed, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Maybe," she said. "But I'm glad you guys are starting to see the real me."193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMHzzSQBXI
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0g26eT2fd
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.
