Jethro made a face of curiosity. "Heads of House?" he asked, taking a sip of his sparkfruit juice. "What's that?"
"They're the highest-ranked tamers in our Faction. For Knight Faction, they're called Heads of Knight." He subtly gestured towards the group. "They're basically the bosses. The heavy machinery of our Faction— nobody to mess with."
He pointed discreetly, dropping his voice. "The slim girl with the modded arms is Noa Spark. She laughs a lot, but don't let that fool you one bit. Her mechbeast is Black Rank; an Earthquake Dragonbear. Grade D. She can deadlift much more than that big guy beside her could."
Jethro's eyes moved to the hulking student, the one who reminded him of Pott.
