Cosec City was similar to Sasamil Capital in the way it was divided. It had its outer, inner, and core regions, with the Core Region being where the most wealthy and strong lived. For example, the three top sects of Cosec Cit had branches there. That's something both the Lukimira and Qianbel Sect could never hope to afford.

The Core Region obviously was the place where the assembly would happen. The teleport formation Kayla brought the twins to just so happened to teleport them straight into the location for it. 

"Is this... a palace?" Rean asked as he looked at the ridiculously big building ahead.

Cynthia nodded as she explained, "That's the City Lord's palace. It is the place where the assembly always happens.. You can find basically everything inside there. To be honest, even our entire sect pales in comparison to the installations inside. Formations, resources, techniques, and much more. You can find more and better quality ones in the City Lord's palace than in our Lukimira Sect."

Rean nodded as their group approached the palace's entrance. There, they could see the queue of sects and other organizations waiting to enter. "Oh, that's where they test the participants."

Rean was right. The participants had to put their hands on what seemed to be a small formation on a table. That formation worked for a few moments before a small light appeared above it. So far, only blue lights have appeared.

"That's the bone age test. If you're above fifty years of age, it will show a red light. If not, then it'll show that blue light you are seeing," Wamil explained as he was beside Rean.

Suddenly, a red light appeared on one of the formations, which caught the guards' attention. "You are above 50 years of age. Therefore, you can't take part in this years' assembly."

The guy was taken aback by that. "So I'm above fifty already?" From the looks of it, even he didn't know. An elder of his organization then put a hand on his shoulder and shook his head. "As you know, you were an orphan when we found you, so we didn't know exactly how old you were. Even though you're above fifty, it's probably a very small thing. Anyway, we brought another disciple since we weren't sure, so step back for now."

The man couldn't help but show a sad expression before retreating. The guards didn't say anything, nor did they give any punishment. Their age test was perfect, so no one above fifty would pass through it to start with. And just like that, the queues continued to move forward until the turn for the Lukimira Sect finally arrived.

Roan stepped forward and looked at the formation on the table. Because he wasn't from the Realm of Gods, he wasn't sure if the formation worked in the same way in his case. 'Well, there's only one way to find out.'

Roan put his hands on the formation, and a few moments later, a dark light appeared.

Rean, who used a formation beside Roan, just so happened to get a white light instead.

'Sure enough, things wouldn't be that easy,' the twins thought.

"Oh! That's quite rare." The guard observing it seemed surprised, and so did the rest of the people around. However, it didn't look like it was a big deal for some reason.

The guard then turned around before instructing his subordinate. "We got two guys with odd affinities. Bring the blood test crystal here to check their age."

Rean and Roan could not help but have confused expressions at the situation, not expecting things to go that smoothly even after their affinities were exposed. Well, it would be exposed sooner or later during the assembly, but still...

A few moments later, an old man arrived with the crystal in his hands. He then looked at Rean and Roan, asking, "Are these the ones?"

The guard nodded. "Yep, they're the fifth and sixth ones to appear this year already."

Rean and Roan were surprised to hear that. 'So, weird elemental affinities aren't that uncommon in the Realm of Gods, huh?'

The old man then made a few inscriptions on the crystal before putting it in front of Rean and Roan. "Just put a drop of your blood over it. I modified the crystal so that it would reject the blood of someone above the age of fifty. If it absorbs your blood, then you pass."

The twins quickly did as the old man said. Sure enough, their blood was absorbed by the crystal, which proved they were within the requirements. The guard nodded after seeing that as well. "Alright, you pass. Next!"

Rean and Roan then went besides Cynthia, who was waiting for them. "It seems like there are more people with odd affinities."

Cynthia nodded, not finding it abnormal. "Odd affinities are definitely rare. However, not that rare. From what I know, you can find one person with an odd elemental affinity every ten thousand people or so. What the guard found surprising was that two of them appeared exactly at the same time. Oh well, that's just about it."

That was really a surprise for the twins. Back in the Realm of Mortals, it would be impressive if one found one in a billion! Let alone two like them. Of course, for the twins, that was perfect as they wouldn't have to care about their elemental affinities.

Sister Orb then warned the twins. [Weird Elemental Affinities are indeed a lot more common in the Realm of Gods. However, you must not forget. Light and Dark Affinities are definitely not. I can guarantee that you two are the only ones in existence.] 

Of course, Sister Orb also had good news. [Well, it doesn't matter that much. After all, you are the only ones who know about that. Others will simply think they had never seen Light and Dark Element Affinity before because of their luck. That's all.]

The twins were still happy to hear that, as Rean could not help but say, "That definitely makes things a lot easier to deal with."
