Other than the new teams and the ones-to-be, the more powerful official mercenary teams had also upgraded and registered in Ferrol.
First, there was the Gaea Chamber of Commerce, which was registered under Ansel's name.
Most of their team members (except Althea and Garan) were there. Many of their employees who wanted to join in—provided they reached the level and strength requirements, as well as a certain tenure length—also joined in.
Of course, there would be a limit, as Class E mercenary teams had a member cap, so they really did comb through applications. They didn't want to be elitist, but they naturally placed those with higher potential and attitude for growth on the priority list.
The benefits of joining the mercenary team were extra resources given away to the members. For example, like guards, members could get their own equipment, potions, and so on. This made the employees of Althea and Ansel's various industries work even harder than ever.
