The Basic Needs

Kenko, the Shape of Health, was certain of one thing: unless the basic needs of the Espers were made a priority, Esperia would never know true peace.

The right to proper sleep, and access to healthy food and clean water for all, were the very first steps toward creating a harmonious society.

These fundamentals were the foundation upon which any world must be built.
Becoming and remaining healthy was, therefore, the responsibility of every Esper.

Of course, some preferred to play or use their magic, but reality would eventually catch up with them—no one could eat well or exercise on their behalf.

The Seven Shapes were there to offer guidance, yet ultimately, each Esper had to care for their own health.

Was it difficult? Yes, of course—but only at first, because the habits were not there to begin with.

    Healthy Growth

    The discovery of the StarDust had led the Espers to take a closer interest in how to develop it.

    Simba, our little monkey friend, had roamed across the lands of the different elements.
