2. They are trained to hunt Grimm, specifics such as "while defending an area" or "while helping a group get to some place" are only conditions.

3. Like I said, the only difference is the training,

4. which is not even necesary to be a "Huntsman" in practice as proven with Roman, Neo, arguably Blake.

5. And while "not part of their job", "Huntsmen" can also do more than just kill Grimm.

6. Hunters can also be "Huntsmen" in strength and abilities, since everyone has Aura and it's not like it's a government secret plus it can unlock by itself.

7. And like "Huntsmen", while "not part of their job", they can do other things if they want. Like kill Grimm, or help a group get somewhere.

8. There's also the case of semantics: Let's say I write a man, who is a hunter, but not a "Huntsman". The correct thing would be to call him a Huntsman, but that would create confusion with the other Huntsmen, no? 1. Raven earned the qualification of Huntsman but doesn't go on missions which the qualification allows and is normally expected and occurs with most Huntsman.. She just got the qualification and left.

2. Trained yes, but those conditions are those of the missions they are employed to do.

3. No, that is not the distinction at all. If a farmer decided to do a bunch of research and gain knowledge equal to a doctor eventually, does that make him officially a doctor? Can he use the title, be allowed to officially treat people? No, because he doesn't have the qualifications.

4. Skilled Criminal =/= Huntsman. Just as a self trained criminal with skills equal to a military employed soldier does not make the criminal a soldier for the military.

5. But that's irrelevent to their occupation. Anyone belonging to any occupation can do more than what is involved in their occupation.

6. Being as skilled in something as something does not make you that something. Look at points 3 and 4.

7. Once again irrelevant. I could research how to and then help someone fix a pipe, but that doesn't make me a plumber.

8. No, because you shouldn't call him a Huntsman. He's a hunter, which in the RWBY universe is employed to hunt animals while Huntsman earn a qualification and license which then allow them to offficially be allowed to take on missions.
