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.

    A Simple Speck Among the Stars

    The Espers throughout the world had the unfortunate tendency to think of themselves as the center of the world. And with good reason, each one was truly the main character of their own story, so how could they be blamed for putting their choices or their own well-being and comfort first? But sometimes, or even…

    Reflecting on a Global Education

    Before the Chaos War, Esperia had never been so divided over matters that, nevertheless, had previously been understood among the five elemental lands. Tensions were rising, trust was at its lowest, between the elements, but also within some of the lands themselves. Inequalities continued to grow between the winners of an exacerbated globalization and those…

    What Do We Really Need?

    It was a question that often came up in the debates at the Great Library of Esperia, which, since the end of the Chaos War, had served Espers from all over the world as a place to exchange ideas, discuss, and try to find compromises on difficult issues. The Chaos War had indeed brought to…

  • Investing Time Every Day

    Investing Time Every Day

    The civilization of the Espers before the Chaos War had gradually become accustomed to having everything done almost instantly. Waiting was becoming unbearable for many of them, and a long-term perspective seemed like nothing more than a vague memory of the past. Now that the StarDust was better understood, however, it seemed obvious that investing…

    Perceiving Reality

    The development of the civilization of the Espers, greatly accelerated by the use of magic for decades, had gradually distanced them from reality. The reality of a physical world with limited resources, shared by everyone. Some indeed believed that by blaming the other elemental regions, or by choosing not to get their own hands dirty…

    Choosing Is Difficult

    Faya, the Shape of Willpower and a great element of Fire, had chosen this title to lead a debate about taking responsibility and the choices each Esper had to make regarding it.

  • In All Simplicity

    In All Simplicity

    It is very easy and natural to believe that we are the center of the Earth. And in a society increasingly concerned with individual freedoms, this way of thinking can only spread. Yet it is just as easy to take even a few minutes to reflect on the situation as a whole. By zooming out,…

  • Strength in Unity

    Strength in Unity

    The Seven Shapes had become the symbol that there is strength in unity. Each elemental land was represented, and while each element had its strengths and weaknesses, the Espers had understood that the union of the elements could create a force far greater than all of them separately. On an individual level, this developed the…
