A second meeting

To rank up, the individual was tasked to fight against a student of higher rank, selected by the teachers. After proving he was strong enough after winning the match, a quest was assigned to the member in question, and only if he completed it would he or she get a better rank.

Besides, there was an internal hierarchy between each rank. Basically, a number was assigned to each member of the dojo. The smaller the number and the stronger the individual was.

To increase the internal hierarchy, members had to challenge each other. If the high-ranked individual won against a lower leveled one, nothing happened, while if the lower-ranked one won against the higher-ranked, the two would swap places.

Once reaching level one, the member could ask his teachers to get promoted, and if he managed to win the match and complete the quest, he or she would take the position of the member of the higher rank he defeated, with him or her jumping down one rank.
