The knowledge of the world cannot be instantly acquired

The society before the Chaos War had the unfortunate tendency to highlight those who had succeeded, those great names who had left their mark on history.

Lune Lune, who had started studying again and was eager to learn once more, had become interested in this question.

How did these people reach where they are today?

Many biographies and stories told how it was their excellence, their determination, or their genius that had carried them forward.

And very few spoke about the underlying reality behind their success: the luck they had in gaining access to education, or even having relatives who were in influential positions.

Because the Espers did not possess innate knowledge of everything.

Even the most powerful magic did not allow the Espers to instantly receive all the wisdom of the world.

And this was indeed an important cause of so many conflicts on Esperia.

Every newborn was a blank page. How this page would be written did not depend on them, but truly on those who surrounded them.

A responsibility that was being lost, yet remained irreplaceable…

Because the knowledge of the world cannot be instantly acquired…

And a lack of education, although it can be recovered from, requires efforts and a willpower that are often far too heavy to carry.

The education of the youngest is truly everyone’s responsibility.

    Adapting to an Ageing Population

    The use of magic had greatly improved access to healthcare and had, as a result, significantly extended the life expectancy of the Espers in a remarkably short time. The downside was that the Espers did not seem to have considered the consequences such an achievement would bring. The massive increase in population was indeed creating…

    Doing Your Best

    Even though the Seven Shapes had become symbols that helped the Espers develop their StarDust, none of them was perfect.

    Trust as a Fundamental Value

    Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy, had been entrusted with the extremely complex task of becoming the symbol of a peaceful society, regardless of the element.

    Everything in Its Own Time

    The aftermath of the Chaos War on Esperia no longer resembled what it once had been. The use of magic was now subject to restrictions, which had profoundly changed the course of things: there was far less urgency, and far more contemplation of the present moment. Something that had long been forgotten during the period…
