Since readers would evaluate the newly created poems by comparing them with the past poems, it was inevitable that the poems could not be written without knowledge of the poems that had been read before.

The magic called "telepathy" created by Kyle enables him to communicate with people connected by a magic path with his thoughts even if they are far away from each other.

Once the lead surnames connected by a magic path meet each other and [telepathy] becomes mutually understood, they can talk silently anytime and anywhere.
