— So, uh, to summarize... — Air was the type who preferred moving her body rather than sitting in one place, and thus the abundant flow of new information had made her head like a boiling kettle, ready to explode at any moment due to its tightly closed lid. — So, our entire world consists of eight elements: metal, fire, water, wind, wood, sun, moon, and star, and your school is a way to interact with them.
— Our school, — the teacher corrected her, — but yes, you've grasped the essence correctly. Now, let's go over the styles. I remind you that mine is the "Path of the Star", the rarest of all! This, by the way, is an extra reason to remember me every time you look at the night sky.

— In general terms, that's how it looks. — The teacher's long explanation finally ended... Or did it? — But that's not all! Firstly, one person can study only one style, and secondly, the learning speed depends on individual affinity for a particular element.
— How so?
— Well, for example, in your case it works out like this:
Metal: -14% (-6% for endurance, -5% for combat specialization knowledge, -3% for each weapon mastery)
Fire: -36% (-25% for patronage of the fire spirit, -6% for strength, -5% for knowledge of fire magic)
Water: -6% (-6% for intelligence)
Wind: -13% (-13% for speed)
Wood: -16% (-10% for blessing of the wood spirit, -6% for spirit)
