"Now before we begin these tests, there is one more thing that I must mention." Thomas said before a more serious expression appeared on his face.

"There are three rare elemental affinities that currently exist which we know of and two of them pertain to any of you moving forward. These three elements are light, dark, and destruction."

"The light element is fairly common to see in the Church of Light and is what helps them continue to prosper even up until this point in the Sun Dynasty. The light element can be used in different ways, but its focus is more on healing as well as offensive maneuvers that could change the outcome of any battle."

"Those who have a high elemental affinity for the light element, could be said to others to be equivalent to the best type of doctors one could hope for. Not just that, but if possible, every single squad whether military or otherwise try to have at least one mystic who specializes in the light element."

"That being said, if any of you show a high level of affinity for the light element, it is fair to say that our school will be unable to necessarily accept you into our organization. Rather, I would be forced to have our dean report such a finding directly to the Church of Light."

"If power and influence is what your goal is, the light element would bring you there. Since the Church of Light seeks out those with that elemental affinity, they would pour all of their energy and resources into making you as strong as possible. Along with this, there would be countless opportunities to make your way up the ladder in that organization which would allow anyone's family to stand toe to toe with the top rated clans even back in our city."

"Now, the opposite could be said if any of you specialize in the darkness element. This element is one that most assassins use because it is easy to blend into the shadows of the night to both kill a target or to simply keep an eye on them."

"Our Sun Dynasty frowns upon mystics who specialize in the darkness element, and therefore we have chosen to make a deal with the Moon Kingdom which is the next nearest empire. Like our Sun Dynasty seeks light element mystics, the Moon Kingdom seeks darkness element mystics."

"So not too long ago, it was decided that any child who goes through our testing that is of the darkness element, would be transfered over to the Moon Kingdom and to their Church of Darkness or one of the many assassin guilds within their empire. However, if any light element mystics would appear in their empire, they would transfer them to our Church of Light."

"Because of this arrangement, our forces no longer openly fight against their empire and both their forces as well as ours have been able to flourish. They may be considered to be our enemies, but since there is an open truce between us, we lower leveled experts have no choice but to follow that lead."

'The positive part about this if it were to occur here today, would be that the Church of Darkness would treat you just as well as the Church of Light would treat light element users. The one negative though, is you would want to move your family along with you to the Moon Kingdom at that point."

"Lastly, there is the destruction element. There is not much to say about this element since only about twenty three years ago, it was discovered among individuals who had certain traits and blood. Therefore, if any of you even have a low elemental affinity for the destruction element, you will simply be considered to be one of our empire's top priorities."

"Now, who would like to start us off?" with his speech done and over with, Thomas was ready to begin these tests so that he could quickly call it a day. He was still rather frustrated that such a mission was given to him where he personally had no way of increasing the odds of someone with high potential appearing.
