《Death… And Me》Death... And Me

"For those who don't know, every person has an element they compatible with. Although you can still use all the other elements, your future accomplishments will depend more on that specific element."
Alanda then took out a scroll with a list of names.
"Kalo Inieru, come forward."
A five years old boy then approached the stage with a nervous expression. When he got up in the stage, he noticed a transparent orb in the center. If not because it didn't have a black color, one would have difficulty seeing the difference between this one and the aptitude orb. But that wasn't all. Around this orb, there were also another nine small orbs that seemed to be connected to this main one.
Once Kalo got in front of the orb, Alanda explained.
"Place your hands on the big orb and focus on the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth. Now that you are already five years old, you should be able to feel it. Try to gather that Spiritual Energy in the orb. Once you do that, it will show the color correspondent to the five elements. There are five colors in total."
"Red for Fire;
Blue for Water;
Green for Air;
Yellow for Earth;
and Purple for Lightning."
"The dominant color will then appear in the Affinity Main Orb. The nine small orbs around show how much affinity you have with that specific element. The more small orbs you light up, the higher your affinity with the element in the Main Orb. You can start now."
Kalo was still nervous, but he followed the elder's orders nonetheless. As Alanda mentioned, a kid would already be able to feel the presence of Spiritual Energy at 5 years of age. So Kalo didn't have much difficulty in gathering it since he tried to use that energy before.

Slowly, the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth started to gather around Kalo. It then concentrated around his hands on the orb and entered it. At first, nothing happened, so Kalo gathered even more Spiritual Energy. Finally, the orb started to glow with a Yellow Color.
Alanda nodded.
"Good, keep pouring Spiritual Energy inside the orb. Let's see how much affinity orbs you can lit."
Kalo followed Alanda's orders and maintained the flow of Spiritual Energy.
Soon, one small or lit up. Then it came the second until finally, the third one lit up as well. However, the third one's brightness was a lot weaker than the previous two. It showed that Kalo couldn't do anything better than that.
Alanda put a hand on Kalo's should and said.
"That's enough. The element you have most affinity with is Earth. Also, according to the small affinity orbs, you are a level 3 Earth Element User."
In fact, because of how dim the third small orb was, Kalo should have been considered a level 2 Earth Element User. But the Tribe elders always added a level as long as the next small orb was lit even a little bit. That was to help the kids to have more confidence in their abilities. Even though it was a lie, it was a good one.
Kids are easily affected by emotions, and it also impacts their cultivation. Doing this prevented the kids from slacking and gives them the illusion that they are not too bad. Of course, once they get older, they will find out about this. But it doesn't need to be at this moment.
"Later, you will get a cultivation technique suitable for your element. However, you will only be able to cultivate it after you enter the Energy Gathering Realm. Still, it is good to get familiar with them beforehand. Go there and wait on the side."

Alanda returned his attention to the kids on the field.
"Next, Fabio Valas."
Another 5 years old boy got up and proceeded to the stage. This boy turned out to have a Level 3 Fire Affinity. It's just that the light on his third small affinity orb was a lot brighter than Kalo. Due to the degree of brightness in his third orb, he should really be considered a Level 3 Fire Element User. In that case, there was no need to lie about it.
"Good, you have a Level 3 Fire Element Affinity. Go there with Kalo and wait for the rest."
"Next, Tianka Gulin."
Kalo and Fabio were both Brown Aptitude boys. As for Tianka, she is a girl and the first Yellow Aptitude kid to come forward. She quickly approached the transparent orb and followed the same process as the two previous boys.
The Main Orb lit up with a Green Color, showing that she has an affinity with Air Element. After that, the first three small orbs around lit up as well almost instantly. Finally, the fourth orb's light appeared and brightened with half the intensity of the other three.
"Very good. You have a Level 4 Wind Element affinity, go to the side as well and wait with the other kids."
One by one, the kids came forward to try their Elemental Affinity test. So far, the highest aptitude was a kid with a Fire Element Affinity level 4. Different from Tianka, his Fire Element fourth small orb was as bright as the previous three. So he was really a Level 4 Fire Element User.
"Next, Rivio Jueten."
All the kids and their parents immediately looked at that boy. He was one of the 'four' Green Aptitude Level kids this time around. Of course, he was only 5 years old child, so he was just as nervous as any other kid who went up in the stage before.
He put his hands on the transparent orb and took a deep breath. The Spiritual Energy from Heaven and Earth immediately gathered around his hands. It was evident that he had it a lot easier doing so. Shortly after, Purple Light appeared in the Main Orb.
Alanda couldn't help but smile a bit, seeing that. Lightning Element users are quite rare. It would be excellent already to see one after every hundred kids. Lightning Users are known for having high attack power as well. So the fact that he has a Green Color Aptitude only made things even better.
Not long after, 5 Small orbs lit up completely, but that was the limit. The sixth orb did not. Alanda wasn't sad, though.
"Excellent. You have a Level 5 Lightning Affinity. I'm looking forward to your future accomplishments."
Rivio felt ecstatic with the praise and quickly moved to the side with the other kids.
The tests continued, and soon, 37 kids' affinities were tested.
"Next, Inna Malaka."
It was finally the time for the hidden Blue Color Aptitude girl to come forward.
