"What about the fighting school and magic school?" John asked Peniel again.
"Fighting schools teach soldiers to learn skills. Magic schools teach spells," Peniel answered. "Similar to you, outworlders, natives received new skills or new spells when they level up. But what skills or spells they receive differ from one native to another. You can look at them as their hidden talents. Aside from these natural skills and spells, they can also learn ones from outside sources. However, unlike outworlders, natives don't learn these non-standard skills and spells instantly by simply interacting with technique books. They need practice and guidance. Thus, it takes a long time for them to learn a single skill or spell."
"Hm… How long do they usually take to learn a skill or spell?" John asked.
