Elemental affinity test
The morning of the elemental affinity test, Jin woke up early, he was nervous about the test and what result he would recive. Jin was afraid he would dissapoint his mother and grandfather, the reason was he was born with an ordinary body and the Yi clan had not produced a mage in the last three hundred years. Jin walked in the dining hall to eat breakfast and was met by is mothers warm smile and caring eyes looking right at him, Jin could feel his mothers care and smiled back, he jumped up on the chair next to his mother and started with his breakfast.
After awhile his mother looked at Jin and and said,
"Jin even if you cant become a mage mother will always love you and wont treat you any different so you dont have to worry about today."
Jin nodded his head, he felt all off his fears vanish. Jin jumped in his mothers arms gave her a big hug while trying to hold his tears back. Jin who never felt a mothers love truly felt grateful at this moment. Just when he left his mothers embrace his grandfather walked in telling them it was time to leave.
Jin, his mother and grandfather all sat in a carriage on their way to the imperial emerald city. They arrived outside the holy church where Jin would undergo his elemental affinity test, just as they arrived Jin saw his father with the second prince and felt a sudden twinge in his heart, he never had this felling before but soon understood he was jealous, jealous of the second prince taking his father.
Even if Jin was more mature then others he never had a father or mother in his previous life. His mother had died giving birth and his father was never around so he never knew what he had been missing. His mothers love and care showed him the feelings he had longed for without knowing he longed for them, and now knew what he had been mising, the feeling of love and care, and the feeling of no longer being alone.
Jin wanted that from his father too. Yi Chu was not around, not because he did not want to, but because of the imperiel family and the second prince. Jin was jealous and hated them for taking his father away, Jin did not think this way before today, but after seeing his father with another boy his age getting the love and care that was supposed to be his own, Jin could not help felling hate and a little darkness.
His father had taken the second prince and not him to his elemental affinity test, Jin was getting more and more jealous.
Jin and his mother and grandfather walked in the church and sat themselves down in the back.
A priest, in a all white dress and robe stod at the podium with a big crystal orb on a small pillar with six identical smaller orbs on a wall conneting the smaller pillar, another nine small crystal shards around the six smaller orbs.
The priest was telling the crowd they will now begin the testing of the five year old childs
The priest started off with the lower families and made them go up to test their affinty next he called my name, "Yi Jin Azeriel." I walked up the podium. The priest asked me to place my hand on the crystal orb.
The priest said "the orb will read your aura and one of the smaller orbs will light up your element and the nine crystal shards around the orb will test your affinty."
" the yellow orb is for earth element, the green orb is for air element, the red orb for fire element, the blue orb for water element, the black orb for darkness element and the white orb for light element" the priest explained

Jin placed his hand on the orb, the orb started glowing and two orbs on the wall started shining, one of the orbs was green and the other yellow, then the crystal shards around the yellow orb started lighting up one, two, three, nine then the crystals around the green orb started to light up one, two, three, nine.
The priest stuttered "dual aura superior affinity."
"Yi Jin Azeriel has dual aura with superior infinty in both elements,"
The crowd was silent, the dual element was not that amazing, but the superior affinty meant that i would become a heaven sage mage at the minimum.
I turned around to look at my mother and grandfather with a big smile on my face, both my mother and grandfather had tears in their eyes i jumped down and sprintet towards my mother giving her a big hug and turned around and jumped with my arms around my grandfathers neck and hugged him till he was blue.
Then we heard the priest "next is Yiu Sei" and the second prince walked to the podium put his hand on the orb, then the yellow orb started shining with six of the crystal shards lighting up.
The priest yelled out "Yiu Sei earth element aura with below perfect affinity," the second prince walked back to Yi Chu and did not look happy, but after a few seconds you could see a big smile on Yiu Sei’s face.
Jin looked up to his mother and grandfather hinting that he wanted to leave, when his grandfather pulled Jin up from the floor put him on his shoulders and walked out the church to their carriage and left.
On the carriage ride home Jin was happy talking with his grandfather about how he should be training as a mage his grandfather was laughing telling Jin not to get ahead of himself as he should first lay the foundation and start preparing his body for the training five years later.
When the carriage arrived infront of the Yi clan residence Jin’s grandfather brought Jin to their ancestors hall which was forbidden to enter without the approvel of an elder. Jin had heard talk about their ancestor hall around the Yi clans residence and it was said they held formidable martial and cultivation techniques.
Jin and his grandfather arrived in front of a massive door that split down the middle and opened outwards after Yi Guo pricked his finger and sent a drop off blood fiiled with his elemental aura on the door. They entered the hall and walked to a little space in one of the corners in the big hall.
In the corner of the hall a big cabinet with thick glass doors was standing there Yi Guo brought his grandson explaining that this was where their mage ancestor had left behind his spells and cultivation technique, both for the foundation and preperation before and after Jin would start cultivating as a mage.
For the next couple of days Jin would stay in his room preparing for the day he would start on his path as a mage. Jin soon learned thet in the beginning he could only meditate a couple ours a day as his meridians was not big enough to take the pressure from the elemental essence runing through his body. He then decided to widen them by putting as much pressure on his meridians as he could without them breaking.
After a couple of weeks he had managed to widen his meridians enough for three hours a day, with this speed it would take him one year for him to widen his meridians enough for cultivating 24 hours a day.
