Stubborn and Narrow-Minded

At the Great Library of Esperia, the Awareness Department was one of the most animated.
The Element of Lightning was one of the most difficult to master because of its volatility.

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 our own ideas if we are not careful.”

“While it isn’t necessarily a bad thing to have the conviction of being right, as it also strengthens willpower and your Element of Fire, try to remember Balance.”

“Here, the other Elements can be of great help: by using the Wind Element, you can deepen your Empathy and become more able to listen to others.”

A young Esper asked, “I thought this was a class about Lightning magic…”

“It is! By developing the Elements needed for a brighter StarDust, Lightning magic becomes easier to perform as well!”

“If you are unable to listen to other opinions, whether they are right or wrong, and always cling to your own, it will be extremely difficult to train your Lightning Element.”

By remaining open-minded, it becomes easier to understand how to wield this very difficult element.”
