"We Dragons would never flee," A male dragon student stated proudly.
"More like he couldn't; both races are capable of subspace travel after all," A third student added.
"You are correct. Since both races are capable of subspace travel, every time Lord White tried to flee, Cthu followed him and this is what caused so many planets and galaxies to be destroyed," Jeron explained before turning to the dragon student and saying, "There is no dishonour in fleeing from a fight if it means saving the lives of others."
"Yes, sir," The dragon student replied in embarrassment while the other students sniggered.
"Good, now, as I'm sure you're all aware, we Dragons are most famous for our breath attacks, but what kind of attack are the Cthulhu best known for?" Jeron asked.
As he asked his question, several of the students raised their hands before Jeron picked one at random.
"Mental attacks, sir," The chosen student answered.
"Very good," Jeron said with a smile. "Cthulhu are best known for their mental attacks. While they also have great physical attacks, it is their mental attacks that you need to be most wary of, especially those of you from the finite races.
The mental attack of a Cthulhu is known to drive those hit by it mad. While the long-lived races have greater protection against this than the finite races, you should still be wary, especially against the older and more powerful Cthulhu.
Cthu, as the Cthulhu Progenitor, is naturally the strongest and most feared when it comes to even these mental attacks, so much so that it is even rumoured that Lord Omniel and the Demon King have to be wary of it.
Thankfully, it is something most of you will never have to worry about since Cthu is currently in a deep sleep."
"Similar to our eternal sleep, sir?" A female Brood asked curiously.
"Indeed," Jeron replied before continuing his story.
"Now, during the final moments of their battle, Cthu was somehow able to inflict a powerful mental attack on Lord White, though we are unsure how it managed it since Lord Whites mind was powerful and resilient enough to resist Cthu's mental attacks up until that moment.
After Lord White was struck by the mental attack, Cthu seemed satisfied because it suddenly entered subspace and left.
Lord White, thoroughly surprised, was thankful that the battle had finally ended and returned home to Devatov Seven for some long-deserved rest.
After his rest, Lord White seemed perfectly healthy and so he, along with the rest of our race, considered that Cthu's mental attack had left no lasting repercussions; we were wrong.
It took hundreds of years, but eventually Lord White began to show signs of mental instability. He saw things that were not there, he remembered things that never happened, and he spoke about things that could never happen.
Eventually, Lord White up and disappeared; he entered subspace never to return or be seen from again."
There was silence in the classroom until finally one student asked, "How can we be sure Lord White is dead then, I mean, if no one saw him die?"
"Because of White Dragon Tephe and the other White Dragons before her, you idiot. Everyone knows that only one White Dragon can exist at a time," Another student answered.
"Oh yeah," The first student replied.
Jeron smiled and was about to reply when a bell sound echoed through the building and the holographic projection of the dragon changed to words saying, "Class dismissed."
"Well, we got a little bit off topic, so we will get back to the subject of Dragon aspects in our next lesson. For homework, though, I want you all to read up on them before our next class," Jeron instructed as students left the classroom while most of them politely greeted Deirlo, who still stood by the door.
After all the students had left, Jeron turned to Deirlo and asked, "So tell me, what about Lord White's final words could have prompted you to travel all this way to speak with me?"
"I wish to discuss with you Lord Whites words regarding his future successor that could change aspects," Deirlo replied.

As Adam reached the mansion, he was surprised to find that the front door already stood open, while a man in a suit stood waiting for him.
"Are you the one who recovered the mistress's belongings?" the man asked.
"My name is Gan and I serve as the mistress's butler," Gan said, introducing himself before adding, "Follow me."
Gan turned and entered the mansion before moving aside in order to allow Adam to follow him inside.
[AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): Well, he made it inside.]
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): First hurdle down.]
As Adam stepped inside, Gan closed the door before saying, "This way, the mistress wishes to speak with you personally."
Adam nodded as Gan led the way further into the mansion.
[MercheadAnderson (Palaxia): Damn, he got a personal meeting.]
[Lizziethetruepower (Palaxia): She probably wants to take ownership of the Yliaster DX Six personally.]
[Puntanghunter69Ver2 (International Space Station): And reward him, perhaps she will offer to dominate him like she did that slave.]
[OrangeeyedStace (Spector): Bitch better not.]
"Any idea what the boss wants to see me about?" Adam asked before saying, "I figured I would just hand this over to someone here and then get back to searching for the culprit."
"I'm afraid I have not been informed of the mistress's thinking on this matter; you will need to ask her when you meet her," Gan replied.
Adam nodded in response as he continued to follow Gan and the two fell into silence as they walked.
As he looked around while following Gan, Adam saw that the mansion's entrance hall was lavishly decorated with expensive-looking furniture, paintings and other wall hangings.
[Sparesomechangebro (Earth): Damn, talk about the lap of luxury. You think she will spare me some change?]
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): She's part of a terrorist organisation; what do you think?]
After walking across the entrance hall, Gan stopped before a door and knocked.
"Enter," A female voice from inside said before Gan opened the door and stepped aside, allowing Adam to enter.
As he stepped inside, Adam found Fiere Lucent sitting comfortably on a large sofa with her eyes closed while holding a glass of drink as she enjoyed the shoulder massage she was receiving from Nogiss.
[Beczontop (Imperial Down): Queen Riniya says: That's her, that'sEytelis.]
[Superherofangirl (Earth): So she goes from being tortured to having to give a massage? That's fucked up.]
[HackerSu (TIS-Starleap): This bitch needs to die.]
After Adam entered, Gan closed the door without entering, causing Fiere to open her eyes and Nogiss to look up.
As Nogiss saw who entered the room, her eyes widened in surprise and seemed to sparkle for a moment before returning to normal.
[Lizziethetruepower (Palaxia): Is it just me who saw that?]
[OfficialRowena (Spector): No, she seemed surprised, happy to see Adam.]
[OracleRomy (Elysium): Not just surprised, but I would also say happy.]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): Is it possible she and the streamer have met before?]
"So you're the one who recovered my property?" Fiere asked while observing Adam.
"That's right, boss, though I'm sorry I couldn't apprehend the culprit," Adam replied while placing the box on the table before Fiere.
"That's fine; you prioritised recovering my property, which is most important. Senator Arisu Kasai is due to arrive here soon and it would have been awkward if I didn't have what he purchased," Fiere answered while opening the box to inspect the Yliaster DX Six.
She carefully picked up the vial and inspected it for a few moments before nodding and placing it back in the box, after which she said, "Well done. It seems to be undamaged."
[OfficialMuriel (Aqua Primus): I guess she failed to notice that the Yliaster DX Six is now inert.]
"Now how shall I reward you?" Fiere asked after closing the box and looking up at Adam.
Adam stayed silent and simply waited while Fiere and Nogiss stared at him.
"You're awfully obedient, aren't you?" Fiere asked after a moment.
"You're the boss; it's not my place to speak unless spoken to," Adam replied.
"Oh!" Fiere said as she swatted Nogiss's hands away and leaned forward slightly to get a better look at Adam.
With her attention on Adam, Fiere didn't notice that Nogiss was wiping her hands on her clothes with a look of disgust.
"You know, I like obedient and well-behaved servants," Fiere stated.
[Puntanghunter69Ver2 (International Space Station): Told you. She's eyeing the streamer up like she's just found a new toy.]
[OrangeeyedStace (Spector): Fucking bitch.]
[OfficialLorelie (Spector): Sigh. Why does this always happen?]
[OfficialRowena (Spector): Our boyfriend might not be the most handsome, but you can't deny that he has magnetism that attracts women.]
[Thewhitesoverign (Spector): I should burn this bitch to ashes.]
"I'm aware, boss," Adam replied.
"All my servants who work in my mansion address me as mistress, so you will as well from now on," Fiere ordered with a flirtatious smile.
