Overflowing Energy

If there was one thing the Espers of the Earth element were known for, it was their overflowing energy.
Kenko, the Forme of Health and the Great Earth element, often reminded Espers around the world that it was not innate.

“It is true that the Earth element may be the most suited to vitality. But even this element, if it is not developed daily, will lose all its vigor.”

“In the same way, all Espers, whatever their element, can develop their Earth element and reach immeasurable levels of energy!”

An Esper of the Wind present at the day’s lesson expressed his opinion:
“But I don’t like working on my Earth element.”

Kenko smiled and answered him gently.

“To be honest, only a few Espers enjoy making these efforts. For the others, it is difficult and requires the will to begin. But if you think about it carefully, it kills two birds with one stone!”

“Two birds with one stone?” asked the young Esper in surprise.

“Yes, because by forcing ourselves to develop our health, we also develop our Fire element: our will!”

“Then we become stronger not only in Earth magic, but also in Fire magic!” concluded the young Wind Esper, now convinced that he could strengthen both his Earth and Fire magic.

    What kind of world are we going to leave behind for future generations?Can we really behave so selfishly that, even though we now fully understand how human behavior has impacted the world, we still choose to ignore what must be done—as if nothing will go terribly wrong if we continue doing nothing? Future generations, not

    The Espers were magical creatures with incredibly potent skills, but the Seven Shapes—and in particular Atma, the Shape of Balance—were there to remind them that the more power they gained, the more cautiously they had to use it. Without considering the consequences, a new magic could trigger an irreversible chain reaction that might reshape the

Every Esper was born with their own fire burning inside them, and its intensity and color could take many forms! Faya always reminded the young Espers that working on one’s inner fire was a task only they

    The reality is that screens have taken over the world—smartphones, tablets, computers—all within just a few decades. We also now understand that, physiologically speaking, it is recommended for young children to avoid screens as much as possible and instead use paper books. It is better for their brain development. And when we consider that our
