That sentiment only lasted for a few seconds before Jethro remembered he genuinely didn't care what these people thought of him. Nevertheless, someone else was already answering the question.
"Yes, student?"
A feeble looking girl responded. "At the Mature Phase, a Dreadeater Caterpillar's Nutrient Circuit would consist of wild small meat like Forest Rats. Then, black mushroom pulp, gray sand, insect grubs, decayed vegetables and uh… bone marrow?"
Jethro shrugged slightly. 'She actually got it.'
Professor Aris offered a thin smile. "You were close, student."
Jethro shot a brow. 'What? She was absolutely correct.'
"But you made one critical error." Professor Aris adjusted on the dais, subjecting everyone to her knowing gaze. "You cannot feed a Dreadeater Caterpillar bone marrow once it's past the Infant Phase. It disrupts its neural stability and causes fragmentation in its ability pathways."
The girl nodded, recalling that rule.
