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.

    The “Modern World”

    Cha Cha, our platypus friend, was thinking about what the “Modern World” had become—and how paradoxical it was. Thanks to new technologies that turned machines into the world’s new servants, life had become easier for some of the richest countries. But this comfort came at the cost of irreversible damage to the environment—damage that was…

    Moderation

    Before the end of the Chaos War, the concept of moderation scarcely existed among the Espers. They preferred to spend their time wielding magic and battling one another, unaware of the consequences. The birth of Atma, the Shape of Balance, transformed life in Esperia. The Seven Shapes placed moderation as a core principle in the…

    Slowing Down

    Esperia was built and envisioned so that harmony and peace would be its foundations. Nature and all the creatures living within it created a virtuous circle, and the Espers — the magical beings — finally understood that the restriction on their use of magic served a greater purpose on their interconnected and limited planet. This…

    Values

    What we come to see as “good” values and the proper behaviors to follow are learned throughout our lives. As children, we naturally mimic the actions and thoughts we observe — through the words and gestures of our parents, siblings, teachers, or friends we play with. When we are still very young, we hold no…

    A Limit to Willpower

    Faya, the Shape of Willpower, often used comparisons to explain the principles she had to teach. For willpower, her element of fire offered an easy image to grasp—one that clearly showed how willpower has its limits. To keep a fire alive, you need the right amount of fuel. If the fire burns too fiercely, it…

    A Pillar for Life

    Since the collective consciousness of all Espers had finally been reached, health as a pillar of life was naturally embraced as the path to follow. The realization of the existence of both the StarDust and the Shadow within each of them brought about a profound and lasting change across Esperia. Health now stood at the…

  • Collective Consciousness

    Collective Consciousness

    Eklea was reflecting on how Esperia had radically changed since the end of the Chaos War and the discovery of StarDust. “This created a collective consciousness,” she whispered. Indeed, the different elemental Espers had never thought of Esperia as a whole before this event. She believed that even if a few Espers were aware of…

    Singing

    Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy and Compassion, had a beautiful voice, and for the pleasure of every Esper willing to listen, she loved to hum and sing. As the Element of Wind, her sweet melodies were carried gently through the calm breeze, and anyone who listened to her soft and delicate voice was reminded of…
