It seems that what Adrian stated has resonated with all of the children there as they seem to have expectations set upon them. Telos is just like them but the difference is that his parents never imposed that he should be good at something. He was just sent there because he needed to learn but the others were sent to school to carry a burden already passed to them despite being children.
Even though some of them were told to steer clear from the hybrid. The children had already had this budding impression that Telos is someone that they can talk to without any judgement. Adrian just said this casually but that is actually what the real Telos has also done. Still, this is his unrecorded history after all as there would be more to the story to follow.
