I woke up feeling refreshed for the first time since I left Germany. I went to the kitchen, and found that Basch was making fresh sausage and eggs. Thank God it's not fish.
Basch turned around and found that I was awake. "Good morning Daniel. After we eat breakfast, we'll go out to the backyard and you will begin your training." he said.
I practically inhaled my breakfast, and then got seconds. I was so hungry, and the food was delicious. Finally, after Basch finished eating, we went to his backyard.
"Follow me." he said. He led me to the garage. When we entered, I could see cobwebs everywhere, there was so much dust in the air, it was hard to breathe.
"You said that you saw me escape in Germany, if you live in Germany, how did you get a house so quickly?" I asked. "I have two homes. One in Germany, and one here in America. But Germany is no longer my home. I'll have to stay here." he said.
I started to look around. I found more cobwebs and dust. "How long has it been since you cleaned this garage out?" I asked. He thought for a minute. "Ten years."
A few minutes later, his face lit up. He has found what he was looking for. He pulled out a device I've never seen before.
"This is what's called a hidden blade. The assassins Altair lbn-La'Ahad, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, Ratohnhake:ton, or Connor, and Edward Kenway used this blade in their times. It used to require a great sacrifice to use. Altair had to cut off one of his fingers, actually. But it is no longer required. I will teach you how to use this weapon. Are you ready for your training?" he asked. I nodded. "Then follow me." He said.
He led me to what looks like a small arena. We both jumped in. He strapped the hidden blade onto by right wrist, and my left. "Okay, to use this device, flick your arms forward." I did just that, and the blades sprung out.
"Good, now I'm going to teach you many different ways to use the hidden blade. First, we'll try the stealth assassination. You want to try this technique when trying to take someone out without getting noticed." He then placed a dummy in the middle of the arena. He then grabbed two daggers out of his pocket, and put one in each hand. "This is how you perform it."
The dummy was facing another direction, so Basch crept up behind it, slowly and quietly. He then gripped the two daggers, stood up, and stabbed the right and left side of the dummies neck. While he did so, he turned his left wrist to where he could cover the dummie's mouth, and he grabbed the body and placed it softly on the ground.
"Now you try." I did the same as he did. "Good. Time for the next way to use it. You want to use this technique when trying to kill two at the same time, without getting noticed."
He set the dummy back up, and placed another to its right side. He grabbed both of the daggers, and again crept up behind them. He then stabbed both of them in the neck at the same time.
"It's your turn." Basch said. Again, I did the same. It was really easy. I didn't even have to think. It's like I've done it before.
"Now, for the third way to use it." He placed a dummy in the middle of the arena. "You want to use this technique when trying to take someone out quickly without getting noticed." He then ran up to the dummy, jumped in the air, landed on top of the dummy, and stabbed both sides of its neck.
"Do as exactly as I did." Again, I did it with ease.
"Now, for the final way to use it. You want to use this technique when you've been discovered, and someone is trying to harm you." He grabbed both of his daggers. "I'm going to stop every now and then and point something out, so pay attention." he said. He ran up to the dummy. "The parts of the human body that causes them to die quickly is the neck, and head. So when trying to assassinate someone, you either slit their throat, or decapitate them. Like so." He grabbed the two daggers. He used one to stab the poor dummy in the throat, and used the other to slice its head off.
"But, if you just want to harm them, the parts you should focus on is their nose, their legs, or again, their head." He grabbed the dagger, and used the bud of it to smash against the dummy's nose, breaking it and causing severe pain. He then kicked the dummy's legs hard, causing a real person's knees to give out and the person would fall to the ground. He then grabbed both daggers, and used the buds of both of them to smash against the target's head, causing a real person to black out.
"You try." I tried, and did it again. "Good, that is enough training for today. Go inside and get some rest." Basch said. I went inside, and I lay in my bed, my hidden blades on my dresser. It was only lunch time, but I was exhausted.
Just to clear things up, when Basch speaks to Daniel, they are speaking in German, because that is their home country. I just didn't put the whole thing in German because 1: I'm too lazy, and 2: You probably don't want to translate all the words in this chapter. But when Daniel speaks to an American, they will be speaking in English. Hope you enjoyed. By the way, I won't post an update until I get at least three reviews, so please review!
