The Adventurers' Guild

The majority of its highest-paying contracts stem directly from the forest, making the local branch a lucrative one.

Ryuji joined after villagers mistook him for an adventurer when he drove off bandits. He spent a year taking quests alone and reached B-rank, then delivered a hobgoblin commander's head to the guild hall as proof and asked for promotion. What he got instead was a bet with a headmaster.
