Learn to Learn

Guided by the 7 Shapes, the Espers realized that their StarDust was the result of the teachings shared by all of them.

One of the important things they also understood was that, no matter what they tried to do, the will to do it was extremely important.

The funny thing is, in order to learn, they had to learn how to do it!

The Elders taught the younger ones that they must always believe they could learn more.

Why is that?

Because every single Esper was born with their own inner StarDust.

How they would shape it, nurture it, and eventually develop it would depend on their own will.

And theirs alone.

The younger ones often wondered why they couldn’t just use magic to skip this tedious process.

“You should always remember that the StarDust shines its brightest when all the 7 Shapes are being kept in mind,” the Elders would say.

    The world before the Chaos War displayed many symptoms of a sick society, rotten to the core with heightened individual desires. A world where appearances and showing off were the values held up for admiration. Only visible results seemed to matter, regardless of effort or even truth.
