This group of five people are the five young wizards of the Absolution Hunting Team.
Unlike participating in campus hunting competitions or school-hosted winter hunts, hunting teams performing Alliance-assigned tasks need to conceal their true identities to some extent to avoid entanglement or retaliation from black wizards, which could lead to trouble beyond the mission.
In the dazzling mask warehouse of the Trident Sword, Zheng Qing was immediately drawn to these cat face masks.
Being standard equipment, these masks were very similar in appearance, all white base with black patterns, with a small Trident Sword emblem burned onto the cheek, and paired with cloaks and robes serving the same purpose, making it impossible for outsiders to discern their true identities just from their appearance.
As for why they appeared in this somewhat secluded pub, that's another story.
