Rima wasn't the first one from the newly recruited batch of disciples who challenged the Silver Rankings. There were two before her.
Because this triangular-eyed man, Midas Burrow, was ranked last on the ranking, he had to accept the challenges of every newbie.
While every win gave him 50 Merit Points, for him, this tiny amount wasn't worth the trouble. Not to mention, every challenge was a sign that the newbies thought they could defeat him. This underestimation was a humiliation for him who dreamt of rising on the rankings and making the entire Inner Hall respect him.
This was why he never went easy on the challengers and always made sure they had to lie in bed for a few weeks at least. If not for the rules, he would have liked to kill them to make a statement and cow the future challengers.
