Everyone has the potential to become a Hunter, and in a time of war where humanity are literally facing extinction, we must assume that nearly the entire populace have been trained in Aura one way or another, so technically even the lousiest of foot soldier, as long as they have their Auras unlocked, count as 'Hunters'. In this case, it simply does not make sense that Hunters are treated as an independent organization, because everyone is a Hunter. Actually, the "everyone is a Hunter" thing is where I was coming from with my comment. Since everyone able to fight was fighting the Grimm there was no need for labels or titles. I am suggesting in time, as they were able to have more secure settlements and stable populations, the people fighting against the Grimm came to be effectively a single united force separate from the kingdoms that were still in development. Eventually, this relationship was formalized and all the emerging kingdoms made agreements and arrangements to insure Huntsmen and Huntresses would be maintained as a supranational force independent of the political structure of any one kingdom due to their common cause against the Grimm.
