The identity of an adventurer, comes with a side effect of adventurer subclass.
Well if we're arguing that then the contract doesn't say it gives Rudy the identity of an adventurer, it says Log Horizon would provide Rudy with support to accomplish his tasks which includes Rudy's desire to become an Adventurer; the sentence doesn't imply that Log Horizon would provide Rudy with the identity of an Adventurer but that Log Horizon would help Rudy accomplish his tasks, one of which includes being an Adventurer.

Presumably guilds can only be joined by Adventurers meaning that only Adventurers can be part of the Log Horizon guild and the implication in the contract is that Shiroe was "making" Rudy an adventurer by gaming the system; since the contract was enforced by the game to make Rudy a member of Log Horizon, a guild of Adventurers, Rudy had to be an Adventurer in order to join Log Horizon. How that would be accomplished was entirely up to the game's mechanics which opted to provide Rudy the sub-class since it didn't change the fact that he's an NPC instead of a player (in essence quibbling over the difference between Player and NPC vs Adventurer and NPC where Player/NPC is an origin and Adventurer is game mechanics).
