An Eternal Pursuit for Youth

The Element of Lightning wasn’t the only Element with Espers like Yakara, unwilling to comply with the principles of One Daily Tale.

From the Element of Earth, a powerful Esper devoted all his time, energy, and magic to trying to remain eternally young.

He was called Fujimi, and he couldn’t accept the fact that living things have a beginning and an end, and that his own youth and life would eventually fade away.

Of course, the principles written by Kenko, the Shape of Health, had the positive effect of creating healthy lives for all the Espers who decided to follow her guidance.

But the goal was never to stay young or to become immortal.

Such things, with the knowledge they currently possessed, were not possible, even for magic-using Espers.

Kenko would say, “This is why reminding ourselves of Shala, the Shape of Time, is key to the development of our StarDust. It helps us stay in touch with reality, and in doing so, it helps keep our minds healthy as well.”
