Assassin

[Esmille]

Mm? Ah, you've transcended

and become an Assassin Cross

as well. I understand the trouble that you must have gone through

to be reborn with new strength.

You probably need to learn

the Sonic Acceleration skill

again after having lost some

of your memories. I truly

sympathize, and am willing

to teach it to you again.

First, go and learn the

Sonic Blow skill. The skill

I will teach you is completely

useless unless you learn how

to perform a Sonic Blow. I shall be waiting right here till then.

Now, right before you

perform Sonic Blow, make

sure your feet are positioned

like this. Then, as smoothly

and quickly as possible, shift

your weight over to this side.

Watch carefully, this

is the most important

part. See where my hands

are and the angle of my

arms? This is the form that

you've got to memorize.

Alright, that's all

you need to know. Now,

please try it so I can give

you feedback on your form.

Hmm, you're shifting

your weight kind of

unsteadily. It might

help if your center of

gravity was like this...

Ah, you're so very

close to perfection.

Focus more on smoothly

transitioning from your

stance to executed action.

Yes, that's it...!

Very well executed.

Good work,

Do you understand now?

You should have no problem

remembering this skill now.

I can teach you nothing more,

so all I can do now is wish

you luck on your journeys.

I trust that using

Sonic Acceleration in

battle has given you an

edge over the enemy. Bring

swift defeat to your foes for

the Assassin Guild's honor.

Please focus on the

training... If we continue to

be interrupted, you'll never

be able to learn anything.

Now, please listen closely.

That's a little better.

Hmmm. Try to think of

the enemy's weak point

and follow through with

the stabbing motion.

So how is your little

mission coming along?

I trust that you've completed

that task I assigned for you.

Oh, that jewel...!

It's so captivating~

I haven't seen anything

so beautiful in such a long

time. You've done very well...

That jewel is yours

to keep. In truth, I don't

really need any treasure, just some proof of your qualification.

It looks like you're ready for me to teach you Sonic Acceleration.

Hmmm...

If you've forgotten the

location I've asked you to

search for treasure, then

I can briefly remind you.

Find something valuable

for me by searching the

Coffins in the Sphinx.

Stone Statues in the Sphinx.

in the flooded crypt in the

bottom floor of the Pyramids.

Only the strong can explore

that area, so doing this will

prove your competency to me.

Ah. Hello, comrade.

Have you heard about

the latest news from

the Assassin Guild?

Ah, you've spoken to

Killtin. Good, good...

Now, I've been charged

with the responsibility of

teaching the Sonic Acceleration skill to all interested Assassins.

I can tell you more about it if

Killtin didn't fully explain.

Sonic Acceleration is

a support skill used in

conjunction with Sonic Blow.

Assassins can only cast this

skill on themselves for their

own personal benefit.

If you're familiar with

Sonic Blow, you'll know

that it's difficult to inflict

fatal damage with that skill.

It's far too fast to be able

to attack very accurately...

However, by learning

Sonic Acceleration, you

can overcome this accuracy

drawback and fulfill the full

damage potential of the

Sonic Blow skill.

This skill is truly great.

And our guildmaster,

the one who invented this

skill, is also... He's a man

amongst men, I must say.

Ah, I'm glad to see

that you're so enthusiastic

about learning this skill.

But first, there we need to

take care of the prerequisites...

Your task will be to bring

treasure from the Sphinx.

Search the Coffins that

are there for precious

valuables. Consider this

a test of your strength.

Whether you can complete

this task will determine

if you are worthy enough

for me to teach you the

Sonic Acceleration skill.

Best of luck, and please hurry.

Search the Stone Statues

there for precious valuables.

Consider this excursion as

treasure from the Pyramids.

Search the flooded crypt at

the bottom floor for precious

valuables. Consider this as

[Assassin]

Hm. You must not have

heard it, then. If you want

to know more about it, you

should speak to Killtin, who

is right next to me. He will

explain everything clearly.

Hm. Do you know any

Assassins? Tell them

to come here if they

haven't already.
