In today’s lesson, Vati, the Forme of Wisdom, wanted to remind something essential.

What had made the strength of the Espers until now was neither magic, nor their intelligence, nor their physical strength.

What had made the Espers capable of such feats was communication and mutual help.

    Emotional Fluctuations
