The meaning behind Commander Ullyr's words was quite obvious.
He paired Olivia Meradnin, someone from a humble background, against Mirhan Kark, whose family background was almost on par with Jase Irka's, to show that strength was the most important!
With strength, one would survive fighting against the most ferocious dungeon beasts, one could accumulate wealth, and build up connections from everywhere.
Everyone would try to befriend the strong, whether they were from a humble background or a renowned one. One's background might help them have a certain advantage at the starting line, but without the necessary talent and determination, they would still struggle to reach their goal.
Thus, after Commander Ullyr had done quick research that took no longer than 5 seconds, he figured that Olivia Meradnin was the perfect opponent for Mirhan Kark.
