Chương 78: Over-geared

Wearing his grey cloak to hide his identity, Aito walked through the streets of the second floor with a thoughtful expression. 

For the first time in a while, he wasn't in the mood to train. His previous interaction with Ogoro had troubled him in more ways than one, preventing him to think straight.
