Chapter 5: Training 2

"Yes, I'm ready," I replied

"Alright, practice and come back when you get in order."

Before I could answer, I passed out.

When I woke up, I was on the riverbank and saw my father sitting on a rock near me.

"It's okay, Saibus."

"Yes, Father, but what happened when I jumped."

"After I jumped, I saw you weren't coming back up, so I jumped and saw you unconscious, falling to the bottom of the lake."

Silence fell, and I reflected on the scene that had just happened and if I should tell my father, but after deliberation, I concluded no.

"Get up. We continue training."

I got up, and my dad told me to run ten kilometers and stay under the waterfall for ten minutes. I obey and start to run. From where we find ten kilometers represent five round trips from the waterfall to the house. To do this, I ran for two hours without poses. After finishing my run, I sat on a rock near the waterfall to strike a pose, but my dad thought I could take some. So he hit me on the head and pulled me under the waterfall. There was a cave behind the waterfall. It leaves me stone-cold and stiff.

"Get under the waterfall, stay underneath everything so resistant to the pressure. For ten minutes, after that, you can take a break. All so sighing, I placed myself under the water and felt tremendous pressure as soon as my body returned. In contact with the water, The pressure was excruciating. I couldn't even resist for more than a minute before exiting the waterfall.

"Every day in the morning, you will do ten kilometers of running the more you come here to stay under the water pressure by staying more and more until you can stay under it for a day without flinching, understood?"

I nodded, got up, and went under the waterfall, but I didn't do better. I kept trying until noon, when my dad stopped me from eating.

"Saibus, tell me what you know about the brotherhood of assassins."

"I know there is the council that runs the league. It is made up of the alums who are:

Werewolf, Cerberus, Ghost, Dragon, Tschart, Mermaid, Leshen, the Pale, Satyr, Djinn, Superior Vampire, Golem, Doppler. Each elder is associated with a monster to show their power. Then there are the assassins. I know they are working in the shadows to keep the balance of power in the world, that all killers uphold the creed and are loyal to the brotherhood. Then there is the equipment and all that goes with it. "

"As you say, the council runs the brotherhood, but there are also other ranks in the brotherhood. First comes the board, then the mentors who take three rookie assassins who train them and decide if they are ready. To become real assassins. Below the mentors come the killers—finally, the apprentices who are like you and train themselves to restore order.

(AN: So the hierarchy of the order is: apprentices <assassins <mentors <council)

"So that means we're not the only ones?"

Altaïr laughed and replied, "Of course, not Saibus. We are not alone, but we are not many either."

"Are you a mentor or an alumnus?"

"I am the Djinn."

So my dad is a board member, which means my uncles and aunts too.

"Rest enough until nightfall. After that, I will learn the basic style of an assassin in combat and assassination."

At that time, I was happy, but I lived through hell until the evening. I came home covered in bruises and completely dirty. When I got home, I went to my room and lay on my bed.
