That was a team of Hunters.
They seemed to have been hired by a secret branch, assisting students in fulfilling a special task somewhere.
Rod suddenly remembered that he also had a Hunter's License, which he had purchased to leave the academy. After completing his journey in the sewers, it had been left in a corner and nearly forgotten.
The Hunter Group was a freelancing collective established by the Royal City to accommodate certain individuals, built to flexibly deploying forces, filling the gaps in official military troops, and lessening administrative pressure.
Rod suddenly realized, isn't this the perfect place for me?
The tasks of the Hunter Group were mostly issued by the Military War Department, various defense zones, or settlements. Occasionally there were personal requests, but no matter who the employer was, there would certainly be a clear goal and intelligence.
In that case, won't I know where there are monsters suitable for my hunting?
