Altair's Training Tutorial / Akemi Miyano's Wish

Is this a provocation against the FBI, or is she planning to use this identity to do something more special?

Jiang Hang wasn't in a hurry. He figured he could just go to the memorial service and ask the woman in person.

But neither the Spider Mansion nor this memorial service is the most important thing right now.

After grabbing a quick bite, Jiang Hang instructed the two girls to continue investigating the commissioned materials at the agency, while he arranged for someone to move the Animus Device from Professor Agasa's place to the basement of his art museum.

His art museum has been swamped lately thanks to the incredibly generous spending of his system's big brother, with various art exhibitions and events never stopping. It seems like new art pieces are being delivered to the museum almost every day, so an Animus piece doesn't really attract much attention.

After a little busy work, Jiang Hang reinstalled Animus.

After that, naturally, he went to test the Altair memories given to him by the system and the Eivor memories that he hadn't had time to experience before he transmigrated.

With Miyano Akemi watching over things, Jiang Hang carefully imported the data into the machine, then lay down on it and began this extremely realistic Assassin's Creed experience.

Chapter 405: Chapter 402: Altair's Training Tutorial

Although Jiang Hang is a ten-year veteran of Assassin's Creed, to be honest, he has never actually played the first Assassin's Creed himself.

After all, the first game was released too early, and there was no subtitle function in the game. So when Jiang Hang traveled through time, the so-called Chinese version of Assassin's Creed 1 that could be downloaded online was actually just a Chinese translation of the menu options and some data files. When the characters were talking, the players still had to rely on their English listening skills and the in-game instructions to figure out who to kill next.

Jiang Hang's understanding of this work mainly came from watching video explanations and the memes about Altair circulating online, which gave him a basic understanding of Altair.

The Assassin's Creed game tells the story of Altair, who had become a master assassin, but due to a mission failure, he was forced to become a novice assassin again. After completing nine assassination missions, he discovered that his mentor in the Brotherhood was actually Templar Knight spy. In the end, he killed his mentor and became the next leader of the Brotherhood.

Later, in Assassin's Creed II, he learned that Altair, in the decades after he became the leader of the Brotherhood, led the Brotherhood to unprecedented prosperity.

However, what the system gave us was certainly not something so simple.

The memories in Jiang Hang's hands can be said to be Altair's entire life. If someone were to experience the whole thing without taking any precautions, those with weak wills might develop a second personality like Altair from these memories, or even become Altair himself.

Jiang Hang was quite eager to experience the complete memories of this assassin master's life, but there was no rush. There would be plenty of time to experience it later. Right now, he should focus on compiling a training manual for the Brotherhood as soon as possible.

Of course, under normal circumstances, it is not easy to edit out each of these memories individually.

Fortunately, the system was very helpful. When gifting the memories, it also included an editing tool that could be used to edit them. A few days ago, Jiang Hang took some time to study how to use Animus in the learning space. Now, his theoretical knowledge of Animus and memory editing is quite good. The only thing he lacks is practical experience.

His goal this time was to find some memories of Altair's training in assassin skills during his youth, as well as memories of his assassination missions, and ideally, some memories of the Brotherhood's creed and code.

As for the contents related to the Eden Artifacts and the Golden Apple, it is obviously not appropriate for Yusuke Sakata to know about them at this time.

After all, the idea of a golden apple that can manipulate people's minds is too fantastical, and it sounds strange no matter how you explain it.

After all, this thing is easy to be coveted by anyone, no matter who has it. If a traitor comes out in the Brotherhood and makes the whole world know about it, then Jiang Hang will have a headache.

So it's best to keep this a secret for now. Maybe he can tell Miyano Shiho and the others later when he actually gets the Golden Apple or something even more advanced from the system.

In fact, even the main characters in the game, after obtaining the Eden Artifacts, would not make a big fuss about what they were. They would either keep them for themselves or let them be buried in the dust of history, waiting for future generations to find them.

After spending more than two hours briefly browsing through Altair's memories, extracting the more important time points for tracing, and roughly knowing Altair's location and what he was doing at each time point, Jiang Hang, who had the highest access to the instrument, simply selected some of Altair's memories from his training, combat, and mission periods.

While it may not seem too difficult to recall, it will be a different story when future people enter these memories and strive for perfect synchronization.

Upon returning to reality from the Animus, Jiang Hang was immediately met with the curious gaze of Miyano Akemi standing to the side.

Although the Animus device has the function of displaying the memory images on the computer screen simultaneously, Jiang Hang's speed of switching between memories was too fast. For the first hour or so, he was constantly switching time points, making it impossible for Miyano Akemi to understand what Jiang Hang was doing.

Later, after Jiang Hang slowed down his switching speed, she finally understood what type of memories Jiang Hang was looking for.

However, these fragmented images were clearly not enough for her to figure out what kind of person this medieval assassin master named "Altair" really was.

Her main role here now is to check on Jiang Hang's physical condition and, after two hours, to wake Jiang Hang up from the Animus.

Seeing that Jiang Hang was slowly regaining consciousness, Miyano Akemi's first question was what it was like to live in the Middle Ages, showing that she was genuinely interested in these things.

Miyano Akemi wanted to try it herself, and Jiang Hang thought about it for a moment and decided that letting her experience the training tutorial he had just edited wouldn't have any negative impact.

"Then come and try out the training tutorial I just created. To avoid any side effects, I'll give you an hour. Let's see how high a rating you can get on the instrument in an hour."

Jiang Hang briefly explained to Miyano Akemi what synchronization rate was, "In these memories, you have a certain degree of freedom. Of course, you still need to try your best to get close to what the owner of this memory did in his lifetime. If you do too many things that violate his personality, it may lead to synchronization failure. Our goal is to obtain a higher synchronization rate in the memories and learn the skills he had in his lifetime."

Miyano Akemi still seemed a little nervous and excited about Jiang Hang's explanation.

She was excited because she could experience a completely different life, which was an unprecedented experience for her.

And the tension is understandable.

After all, she had just seen on the surveillance footage that the other party silently sneaked into the house in the dark and assassinated their target. She certainly couldn't have done those things herself.

She was a little worried that if she performed poorly, Jiang Hang might be disappointed in her.

With these feelings in mind, she lay down on the Animus memory with some trepidation. Under Jiang Hang's control, a white light flashed before her eyes, and then she entered the world where Altair once lived in the memory.

Chapter 406: Chapter 403: Miyano Akemi's Wish

Miyano Akemi is not a person who feels secure.

Unlike Miyano Shiho, who grew up under the control of the Black Organization from the time she became conscious, she had a rather warm childhood.

My parents run a small hospital in the countryside. Although their income isn't very high, it doesn't put too much pressure on them to support their family of three.

However, being away from academia could not extinguish the flame in her parents' hearts. As her mother became pregnant with her younger sister, her parents wanted to give them a better environment. In the end, her parents agreed to the organization's invitation and joined the organization with their family, including Shiho, who was not yet born at the time.

At first, things were fine. Her parents were quickly given important positions in the organization, and Miyano Akemi felt that period was probably the happiest time of her life.

However, this period of good fortune did not last long. As the time spent in the organization gradually increased, even Miyano Akemi could sense that the organization her parents had joined was not as simple as she had imagined, not to mention her parents.

Miyano Akemi always remembered that shortly after her parents secretly gave her dozens of recordings left for Miyano Shiho, and unusually, hugged her one night and cried, saying many apologetic words and asking her to take good care of Shiho, her parents died in a car accident.

From that moment on, her life turned completely gray.

Those who initially seemed quite kind soon began to reveal their true colors.

She was only four or five years older than her younger sister, so she had to take care of her sister and follow the organization's instructions to complete various training programs and test her talents and abilities.

But taking care of her younger sister was already hard enough, so she had no energy left to complete the various courses and studies assigned to her by the organization.

Furthermore, ever since her parents died, she has harbored a deep-seated resentment towards the organization, making it even less likely for her to diligently follow its instructions.

Ultimately, when she was twelve years old, the age when most people are just starting middle school, she was deemed a useless piece of trash by the organization, and they completely abandoned her.

Those years were arguably the most agonizing period of her life.

To put it bluntly, if it weren't for her genius younger sister, her treatment within the organization would probably be no different from that of Numabuchi Ki'ichirō escaped from the organization.

It was also because her younger sister gradually showed her extraordinary talent at that time that their lives were at least guaranteed a basic standard of living.

Meanwhile, as her younger sister's achievements became increasingly dazzling, she returned to China at the young age of 18 with two doctoral degrees and received an organization codename from the organization's boss. Consequently, her status as a "useless brick" in the organization also received a significant boost in treatment.

However, she was still a low-level member of the organization, and she had no authority to know almost anything about the organization, not even her sister could tell her these things.

If her sister is the sun, then she is probably just an insignificant star in the vast sky.

To make matters worse, Shuichi Akai's FBI undercover agent found a breakthrough through her, using her and her sister to successfully infiltrate the organization and quickly gain titles within it, even nearly causing significant damage to the organization.

After Shuichi Akai, Miyano Akemi and Miyano Shiho, who had brought him into the organization, had to take responsibility for the matter. In the end, it was naturally her younger sister who took the initiative to take on most of the responsibility, so that the organization's punishment would not fall directly on her.

Looking back now, it seems the organization didn't just let her go. They saw through her desire to leave the organization and gave her the illusion that she could take her sister with her.

If it weren't for Jiang Hang's appearance, she would probably have died by Gin's gun by now.

After Jiang Hang rescued her sister from the organization, although the organization's existence still hung over their heads like the Sword of Damocles, at least they could breathe a sigh of relief now.

But soon, feeling insecure Miyano Akemi began to think about what she could do now.

Jiang Hang is indeed a good person. After rescuing them, he found them a place to stay and even provided them with a new identity and a job.

Despite doing so much for them, Jiang Hang hasn't asked them for any benefits, and hasn't even restricted their personal freedom much.

This kind of life is naturally much better than being in the organization.

But when her parents brought them to join the organization, they probably had similar thoughts back then, right?

Jiang Hang can protect them now, but what if Jiang Hang thoughts change in the future, or what if he leaves Japan?

Of course, given her sister's talent, Miyano Akemi believed that even if Jiang Hang were to leave Japan one day, he would most likely take the sisters with him.

But Miyano Akemi has been living this life of relying on her younger sister for more than ten years. Although her parents originally asked her to take good care of Miyano Shiho, in the end she was the one being taken care of by her younger sister for a longer period of time.

Now that she finally has a chance to start over, Miyano Akemi doesn't want to continue living the rest of her life in complacency.

It wasn't a comparison with her younger sister; she had long since accepted the reality that her sister was more outstanding than her.

All she wanted was to stop being an appendage of her younger sister and to demonstrate her own value to Jiang Hang as much as possible.

As for what method to use, Miyano Akemi didn't have much of an idea beforehand.

After all, her greatest wish in life—to escape the organization with her younger sister—had already been fulfilled. So now, it seems that all she can do is repay Jiang Hang for rescuing them from the organization.

After learning about the Brotherhood's past and Brotherhood impending reconstruction, joining the Brotherhood and helping Jiang Hang Brotherhood naturally became her greatest wish.

Now, using this magical device called Animus, Miyano Akemi can travel through a thousand years to experience the past of the legendary assassin master from a thousand years ago, as described by Jiang Hang, and even learn the skills he mastered from his memories.

Miyano Akemi didn't want to miss such an opportunity. If she could get a good result in this test, she might be able to become a qualified female assassin in the future and better help Jiang Hang.

However, everything in the Middle Ages was extremely distant and unfamiliar to her, and it was not an easy task for her to perfectly replicate the legend of Altair, who had become an assassin master in his early twenties, in her memory.

After getting used to the body of Altair from her memories, Miyano Akemi chose the timing for controlling the Hidden Blade under the guidance of Jiang Hang.

Even the simplest thing, popping out and retracting the Hidden Blade, seemed easy when Jiang Hang used it with a nonchalant air, but when she tested Hidden Blade herself, she found it was not so simple at all.

The flicking and retraction of the Hidden Blade are controlled by the muscles inside the wrist, which obviously requires her to have a certain degree of control over her body; otherwise, she might accidentally Hidden Blade.

Even after clearly understanding how Altair controlled the muscles in his wrist to manipulate the Hidden Blade, it still took Miyano Akemi about twenty minutes before she was finally able to flick and retract the Hidden Blade, albeit somewhat clumsily.

To achieve the same level of proficiency as Jiang Hang, it would probably take years of practice.

As for actual combat sparring, she was even further removed from the image of Altair cleanly and efficiently defeating his opponent that she remembered.

In the first test, her Hidden Blade was taken down by her opponent before she could even draw it.

The Hidden Blade did spring out a second time, but she was still easily knocked to the ground by her opponent.

When an hour later, she was woken up by Jiang Hang and she herself was somewhat unsure how many times she had failed.

When she regained consciousness, looking at Jiang Hang who had no change in expression on his face, Miyano Akemi asked him with some concern about the evaluation she received when she first entered the Animus.

Chapter 407: Chapter 403: Miyano Akemi's Future Development Direction

Although it seems that Miyano Akemi hasn't made much progress in the past hour or so, you could even say she's stuck at the "initial stage" and has been getting crushed for half an hour with no chance to fight back.

But after all, she was just a low-level member who had been abandoned long ago at the Black Organization. In terms of physical strength or combat ability, she was probably only slightly better than the average person.

In Altair's memory, mastering the basic usage of the Hidden Blade in half an hour is a pretty good speed.

As for failing the initial level, that's even less surprising.

It's like playing a Souls-like game for the first time, without any hints or guidance, and having to figure it out on your own. It's perfectly normal to die for an hour or two at the initial boss.

In fact, after several defeats, Miyano Akemi had begun to slow down the pace of the match, using a more stable approach to adapt to Altair's body, and to observe his opponent's attacking habits and weaknesses in his moves.

At this rate, once she gets more used to Altair's physical abilities, it should only take her an hour or two at most to defeat this "initial boss".

"For a newcomer, this is not bad. However, you haven't adjusted your mindset yet. Subconsciously, you haven't completely identified yourself as Altair from your memories. You still have your own habits in many of your actions. This will definitely prevent you from achieving perfect synchronization," Jiang Hang objectively evaluated Miyano Akemi's performance in Altair's memories and pointed out several shortcomings.

However, there is one point that Jiang Hang still wants to emphasize to Miyano Akemi.

"However, there's nothing to worry about if you can't achieve perfect synchronization. After all, the differences between you two in terms of physical fitness, strength, and other physical functions are too great. Even if you achieve perfect synchronization in his memory and completely master the skills he mastered back then, you will still need to make adjustments based on your own physical condition after returning to reality."

Altair himself is not only a superb assassination expert, but also a formidable fighter.

After all, in his time, the Templar Knight and the Brotherhood both openly military organizations, so direct confrontations between the two forces were quite common.

Although the combat power in the world of Detective Conan is extremely fantastical, with Ran's fighting ability capable of beating over 99% of men Miike Sato being among the most capable fighters in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, even with Jiang Hang's help to boost her power, Miyano Akemi wouldn't be able to reach that level in a short time.

In comparison, Yusuke Sakata, a policeman by training and physically strong, is naturally more suited to learning Altair's skills.

Therefore, Jiang Hang actually hopes that the system can give him the memories of a few female assassins in the future, so that she and other female assassins who might be recruited into the Brotherhood can learn assassin skills that are more suitable for them.

"So, in my personal opinion, if you want to continue experiencing Altair's memories in the future, it's best to stop delving into them after learning the basic assassin memories. Instead, you can switch to memory fragments that are more focused on stealth and concealment. This will greatly improve your observation and reaction skills. As for those advanced techniques... I'll try to get some female assassin memories for you to try in the near future."

Of course, Cassandra, the overpowered Greece demigod, is definitely not an option. Even if he had her memories, Jiang Hang would never release her. She would be practically the Assassin's Creed version of Wonder Woman. Would he use her memories of tearing apart the Minotaur and stepping on Medusa to train newbies?

However, Aya, Bayek's wife from Assassin's Creed Origins, would be a good fit.

The formation of the Hidden Ones, the deaths of Julius Caesar and Cleopatra were all orchestrated by her, and she remains a legendary assassin revered by members of the Brotherhood throughout history.

In addition, there is Shao Jun, the Chinese assassin who appears in the side-scrolling game Assassin's Creed Chronicles and the short film Ember. He first became a disciple of Wang Yangming and officially joined the Assassin Organization. After the Chinese Assassin Organization was purged, he traveled thousands of miles to Italian to seek the help of the legendary assassin Ezio, who was already in his later years. Finally, he returned to China to rebuild the Assassin Organization and became the new Assassin Master.

After mentally explaining his needs to the system, Jiang Hang also told Miyano Akemi the names and stories of these legendary female assassins. Upon hearing that she would have the opportunity to experience the lives of those legendary female assassins in the future, a look of longing appeared on Miyano Akemi's face.

Meanwhile, Jiang Hang's hands did not stop moving.
