The Heat

As a general rule, a student can only refuse challenges 3 times consecutively. After the third time, the next challenge had to be accepted. This was to ensure that students participated in challenges sooner or later.

Also, a student can only challenge once a week. Once a student's challenge is accepted or denied, they have to wait a week before doing so again, although they can still be challenged by another person. This was to ensure the students did not abuse their challenge privileges.

Finally, a person of a higher Rank can not challenge someone of lower Rank. This was to ensure that the top students do not take advantage of the weaker ones and easily obtain subordinates for themselves.

These rules were put in place in order to create a sense of balance in the school. However, here was a student who defied rules, fighting a Ranker on his first week, as the least among the Beginners, Darey.
