Language

One of the most underrated “skills” to learn is language. For those lucky enough to have had access to education, the use of language in all its forms—be it speaking, reading, or writing—may seem obvious and trivial.

But it isn’t trivial at all. Mastering a language is one of the key skills to develop.

Why?

Because as members of a group, being able to understand others and express ourselves is absolutely essential.

Also, as social creatures, we naturally navigate an inherent “ranking” within our communities—and mastery of language plays a role in this. The ability to write poetry or deliver moving speeches are skills highly valued by society.

How to get better?

By reading books.

It is certainly one of the best hobbies one can cultivate in our hyper-connected world.

    Even though Esperia had finally become a haven of peace, some Espers still remained reluctant to make efforts they had never made before.In particular, for those whose inner Shadow was predominant, the principles of One Daily Tale sounded like reproaches, again and again. “Why do I need to follow these rules now, when before I

Today’s lesson in Eklea’s class was devoted to how easily we can become stubborn and narrow-minded. “Just like lightning magic, we quickly become stuck in

    There was an expression used in Esperia for situations in which opinions were enthusiastically exchanged and discussion was lively: “like the wind blowing.”But it is no surprise to us that the Element of Wind is involved, is it? Empathy can lead to debates that bear fruit, because the participants can tolerate opinions different from their
