"a quick of explanation about how power each rank is would be great like maybe 1C is twice as strong as 10D which is comparable to 9D. Would build a lot more depth into your story"
this will work in the gods ranking so please wait for the story to continue.
Chapter 3:
I woke up in my bedroom. The sun was shining through the window. I got up and change. I was beyond exited as after today I can finally use magic but there was a really big question on my mind what my element is so I asked my mother how the affinities were decided or do we get to choose them so she answered.
“Dear affinities are decided by your bloodline and which one you get depends on the stronger parent so you have a higher chance at darkness then lighting”
I frown as I wanted lighting and earth so asked.
“Is there a way to get 2 or more mom?”
My mother smiled and said “well there are some people who have 2 which is rare and have talent Exceptional in 1 and there are even some people who have 3 which is very rare 1 in a billion and are have talent above Exceptional in at least 1 and exceptional in 2. You can only get 3 as more and your body will not be able use any of them. “
“So if I got 2 or 3 elements will be a genius?”
“Ha-ha if you get 2 or 3 then you will be the first genius in our family and you can even get into a royal academy for free so just hope and don’t worry if you only get one element we will still love you.”
I got out of the house with my father and mother and we walked towards the chief house. After arrived we knocked.
“Who there?” asked the chief.
“It’s us Helena and Bradley” my mother replied.
The chief opened the door and look at my mother and then his eyes looked at me with a gaze as if it was scanning. He invited us in and took us in the living room. After we sat down he asked in a polite voice “has the boy finally reach 6”.
My mother answered “yes and that’s why we are here to see which element he has”.
The chief was very straight forward, wasting no time he got up and picked up a chest and took out a stone which was crystal. The moment I saw it I asked my mother.
“What that stone?” Instead of my mother the chief answer” it’s an empty crystal with no energy. It’s used to detect different kinds of elements in anything. It sucks energy and changes colour to whatever the element the object to being has and after a while if it’s no longer sucking energy it depletes it and then can be used again. It’s a very common stone but if it keeps sucking the same energy for a while it will change in an elemental stone.”
I was amazed at it as it was the perfect object for checking the elements but what if the person had 2 or more elements. So I asked “what if a person has 2 or more elements”.
The chief took a breath and answered “let’s see what you element is. Place you hand on the stone”
The moment I placed my hand on the stone it turned dark and then it change to yellow colour and it kept changing. The colours started to shine higher and higher and then I removed my hand and look at the chief.
His eyes were and shocked. I looked at my parents and they too had they eyes and mouth open as it they was the impossible. I asked the chief.
“What is the result?”
The chief came out of shock and look at me and said which shuttering “You have above exceptional for lighting and exceptional for darkness. Helena you have a genius son”.
My parents recovering from the shock got up and hugged and my mother kept saying “my son is a genius”.
I was really happen as I got one of the ones I wanted and started to laugh as well.
We were really happy as I had 2 elements and have best talents that were possible the chief asked if I wanted to learn from him but I declined which shocked my parents as they asked why and I said that I wanted to learn from you. To which they began to decline but my nagging eventually got them to turn towards my decision. The reason for this I didn’t want others to find out much about myself or due to my knowledge and have other motives against me.

After we left I asked about the royal academy and my father answered.
“They are the best academy with 3 sections elementary, advanced and master. You have to be 10 years of age and 5D for elementary and have to pass them for the others. To get into the academy you must have above average talent. There is no fees as those who graduate are mostly live in the empire. As 70% join the government plus the academy has the backing of the emperor and the headmaster who are both peak gods.”
So I have to wait for 4 years before I can apply for the academy. I asked my mother when will we start training and she replied that it would be next week as they require something to help me train better. For the next week I trained with my dad all day long.
I remembered from my old life that to be able to fight hundreds or thousands you need stamina which is the most important part. So I began to run around the village everyday which is very exhausting. I also kelp learning swordsmanship from father and he even called me a genius at warrior training.
A week past
The sun shine touched my face and I woke up all excitedly as from today I will be learning magic. I got up and when to the kitchen, my mom was cooking breakfast. I sat down started to eat breakfast. After I ate, I started to look at mom with shining eyes as if waiting from my life to return. She turn and look at me and my eyes and smiled.
“Are you ready to learn magic dear?”
“Yeah yeah”
Afterwards my mom took me to the garden and gave me 2 stone one with lighting element the other with darkness. She said.
“There are elemental stone which we bought for you if you absorb their energy into you dantian then you will be able to reach 1D. After that you will need to naturally absorb as much as possible and hope that you can pass 5D in the 4 years to enter the academy”
I was surprised and asked “how long does it take to raise the rank” and she replied “raising one minor rank for a commoner can take 6 months and as the rank raises the ranks becomes harder to obtain but for the riches they have a large amount of elemental stones which can increase the rate of cultivation.”
I frown as it would take a long time to increase my rank, so I asked “can a person do it faster?” She replied “yes, you can probably do it much faster because you are a genius and you have 2 elements. The energy in the air is universal so if you absorb it it will change to both lighting and darkness into your dantian. OKAY WORK HARD”
So the dantian works as an emery conversion device. And the absorption rate depends on the talent.
I started to cultivate energy as much as possible. I absorbed the energy from the stones in a couple of days and reach 1D. I told my mom and she said that I was a genius as it would take a month to absorb all the energy.
After that my routine would be to have swordsmanship training with my dad and absorbing energy all day.
After 2 years
I have reached 5D which is amazing. After today my mom told me that dad would start teaching me how to give elements physical form. He start by explaining which a long one. Short version to give an element a form all you have to do is to have a vivid imagination of the energy and coat it on a weapon or concentrate it in a ball or any form depending on the imagination. The more complex the more energy it takes and the stronger it is.
After this my dad started to spar with me every day in the afternoon.
Due to my knowledge of my last life I have an imagination of a monster, I mean I used to write fanfic and draw it as well so my training was amazing. After learning the basic I started to use complex forms in weapon and form. I also tried to change form in battle. My level also increased to 6D.
For the next 2 years I spend my time training to get into the royals academe’s S class where only genius can enter and you have to have 2 elements. Every year more than 10 million children apply for the academy and they only take 1000 every year so the chances for dual can be found.
