Note:- Dont buy yet. Gotta Edit it.

"Nicely Played," the Oracle commented as he took a sip from his glass of lemonade. As he did, he looked at the dean and noticed that the dean had an expression on intrigue on his face,
"So you noticed," the Oracle asked.
"Hmm," the dean nodded, "The head of disciplinary committee used something strange at that time. I noticed that the young man's will power was pretty strong and would have been able to resist any sort of pressure to fall upon him but the head of disciplinary committee was able to make him do as he asked as if he was controlling a puppet. Either he used some sort of hypnosis skill or the matter is entirely something else," as the dean mused over his findings, the Oracle's smile only grew wider a she spoke,
"You are a sharp kid," the Oracle said before asking, "Do you know about vampire subclasses?"
"Hmm, I do. The vampires have various subclasses that originate form their blood," the dean answered and then questioned back, "Why do you ask?"
"To tell you a secret only a few people know in the whole settlement," the Oracle replied. Shifting to face the dean directly, the Oracle spoke,
"This secret is only known by the Grand Elder, I , Loid and two more comrades of ours. Other than us, no one knows of it,"
"What secret is it? And why are you telling me?" The dean asked in confusion. Although he was happy that the Oracle was willing to let him in on important stuff, he knew that there was no such thing as free food anywhere and so, he wanted to know of the reasons before getting into something he couldn't possibly take care of.
"Simple, I am telling it to you as an insurance that in the future, you would help us. Whether its taking us to your home world or helping us defeat the vampires, I know that you have a lot of potential and also that you are clever enough to sort out a lot of important stuff yourself," As the Oracle said, he stopped for a few moments before asking,
"Tell me in detail what you know of the subclasses, that would be the cost of the secret I will tell you,"
"Are you sure?" The dean asked.
The Oracle nodded and added, "I am sure and don't worry, even though we know about the subclasses, we don't have any detailed information on any of them and so, you telling us about them would be a great help in our fight against the vampires,"
"Okay then, let me start first," the dean nodded and then turned silent for a few seconds. He had actually fallen in thought. After all, dealing with vampires wasn't his first priority back on Earth and so, he had to take some time to remember the information he had read on them.
"So its like this," he spoke after a few minutes, "There are various subclasses of vampires and each subclass is different and unique in their own way and not just that, there are some subclasses that are similar to the vampires but very different in other matters entirely. The most common ones are like this," the dean said and the explained,
"The Wendigo. These are not only one of the most common of the vampire subclasses but also one of the most weak ones. They are usually the cannon fodder of any vampire army,"
"And why is that?" The Oracle cut the dean as he asked,
"It's simple. These are usually those people who lose their minds when turning into a vampire and so, they turn into deranged monsters who have lost all their thinking ability, merely relying on their instincts to survive. There are various legends about them, some saying that the only nutrition a wendigo gets is its first meal after being turned and the others simply say that they live of the stuff they eat and so on," the dean spoke, stopping a few seconds before adding,
"They are weak and can be killed easily but their advantage lies in numbers as most of the times, during conversion, wendigos are formed,"
"Hmm, interesting. To think such a subclass would exist," said the Oracle as he noted down every bit of information the dean told him.
"Now to the next class, the Wights," the dean spoke and explained,
"These ones are line of the most loyal subordinates a vampire could wish to have. Their strength and regeneration capabilities are unrivaled and for most vampires, they are created when a human is on the verge of death but refuses to die and enters the state of transforming into a vampire. It turns their will to live into sustenance and their bodies change. They are almost same as any vampire but way stronger physically. Their bodies are undying as long as they have food available and as for their weakness, its their head. Once a wight loses its head, it dies,"
"Interesting, very interesting. If they have the potential to be stronger than the one that created them, wont they eventually come to rule the vampires?" Asked the Oracle, fascinated by the information being told to him.
"No, a Wight can never surpass the strength of its master and also, they are emotionless and have no such desires of wanting to surpass their masters or taking control of the vampires. They live for the sake of living and do what their masters ask them of," the dean answered.
"Hmmm, thats quite some information. Kid, are you sure you haven't lived with vampires before? Because the information you are giving me is very detailed, as if you have witnessed and experimented on these subclasses yourself," the Oracle spoke, a bit unwilling to believe that these were stories of fiction in the world of Dean.
"I truly don't know how these stories came to be but seeing the apocalypse and everything that had happened to me till now, I wont lie by saying that there can not be anything else that could surprise me. Im sure in the past, there must have been a time when my world had undergone such changes when such creatures of myths and legends must have roamed free," the dean answered, speaking in a frank and casual manner while the Oracle nodded.
He knew that the dean wasn't lying and wondered if there truly was a world that had undergone such things, "In such age and time, anything is possible," the Oracle muttered and then spoke,
"You have already given me enough info on the two subclasses you told me of. Lets hold that thought for now, I guess its time for me to hold up my part of the deal," Saying so, the Oracle turned to the screen, only to notice that the Grand Elder had given everyone a break to go through the events that had occurred.
"And so its like this," the Oracle said and then added,
"The head of disciplinary committee isn't exactly human and instead is someone that is wanted by the vampires even more than the humans. We don't know much of him but he is special, his father was a human and his mother a very strong vampire and when he was born, the vampires had hunted down his parents and since then, the Grand Elder had secretly looked after him,"
"Interesting, can you tell me a bit about his powers?" The dean asked, feeling intrigued about the head of disciplinary committee. After all, the man was a half blood with part vampire and part human blood coursing through his veins.
"He can feel whenever a vampire is around him and as many vampires are around him, the stronger he is. As if the vampires are his source of power. He doesn't require blood at all and can eat normal food as humans do but has all the abilities of a vampire. Almost like the perfect amalgamation of the two. Not just that, but there is one thing he loves and that is killing vampires. His body has these urges to kill Vampires and in the start, it did cause us some issues but now its all settled," the Oracle finished explaining and looked back at the dean, only to find the dean dumbfounded with his mouth open,
"Prometheus?" The Oracle called out as the dean muttered a single word,
"Dhampir,"
