"Indeed, this place is a front for something else."
Divano, after sweeping the surroundings, stated with certainty.
Then, he surveyed the area, hoping to find some clues.
And soon, he made a discovery.
In the corner of the martial arts gym he found a huge book, shimmering with a metallic luster, standing as tall as a toddler of four or five years old, lying flat it was about 40 centimeters.
With just one look, Divano could tell there was something extraordinary about this book.
But why would such an extraordinary book be carelessly placed in a corner?
Could it be...
Thinking of something, Divano quickly stepped back, drew the standard longsword from his waist, his face serious, eyes sharp as he scrutinized the surroundings.
"If a seemingly ordinary martial arts gym corner holds such an extraordinary book, then... how could the entire gym be ordinary?"
"Would an ordinary gym use such heavy barbell plates to block the door?"
"There must be some secret here!"
