He had been well prepared for the past twenty minutes, and seen fit to just rest until his students arrived. He wasn't sure of exactly what numbers he would get, but at least a reasonable handful of students would be nice. After all, learning to defend themselves against the dangers of telepaths was vital. He knew full well that at least a handful of the Brotherhood were more than capable of telepathy and could easily prove lethal to anyone unaware of its lethal effects.<br/><br/>The classroom was particularly basic in layout today. The desks were cleared away, and he had pulled up a handful of reasonably comfortable chairs directly opposite his own desk. No need for anything too official for this, it would be closer to a talk than a lesson. What he was teaching couldn't particularly be noted down or studied without his help. Focusing on actually experiencing a mind entering their own was the only real way for a student to prepare to defend against it. Of course it was almost impossible to resist a truly powerful telepath for the non-telepaths attending, but some minor struggle was at least better than nothing.<br/><br/>This first lesson of the term would be focused on the real basics. An understanding of the vulnerability of an unaware mind to telepaths was the primary aim for this first lesson. Any student who hoped to  be a field operative would absolutely have to possess that knowledge. An unguarded mind around certain members of the Brotherhood could be as much of a liability as any help. So, for those students comfortable he would allow them to feel the presence of his mind in theirs, and perhaps snatch a piece of information he asked them to focus on. It was for this purpose that he had a pack of cards laid on the floor beside each of the students chairs. They could pick one, so as to have a harmless secret to try to contain within their mind.
