What deems someone as a 'Senior' in The Gated Arena?
Was it simply time spent? Perhaps those who have survived an Expedition?
Neither. Much like how Borus' creations consider anything closer to 'perfection' as older than them despite the timeline disagreeing--after all Peerless was made last but holds title as 'eldest brother'--the Seniors of The Gated Arena hold a similar system.
A Senior was simply someone who could reasonably beat 'everyone else' in The Gated Arena. Those considered to be the Aces of the Provinces were merely one step behind from becoming a Senior.
There was some room for exceptions. For instance other Seniors did not count under the rule of 'everyone else'. Moreover a lot of members within The Gated Arena willingly give up their chance to compete simply because they know how outmatched they are.
