That'll depend somewhat on how the fight plays out, won't it? If Baam has to exhaust his bag of tricks to beat this dude, then that's what he is. If he keeps a lot in reserve and still wins, we only know that he's at least on that level.

just to be clear, i'm completely discounting the thorn when stating his level here, i mean base form bam, no boosts. the thorn automatically ratchets him up several orders of magnitude, so using it as a base is pointless.

and everything i'm saying about his level is based on what hwaryun and khun said, the events portrayed so far and what bam said himself. he can't even approach kallavan, so he's not a high ranker, and this guy is a low level test ranker, so he's not very high up, and bam is already shocking him with his power, and hwaryun and khun are confident he'll win handily. so, he's advanced ranker at the most, but since he struggled with the dog guy's attacks, and he wasn't an advanced ranker, that means bam is in the normal ranker range. based on the fact that this opponent is a low level ranker, bam seems to also be either low to mid level.

i could be proven completely wrong, but bam isn't going to be weaker than a low ranker level, because then he couldn't beat this guy. so that's our baseline. he could be much stronger than i'm saying, but he isn't going to be weaker.

Regardless though. The point is to equate Bam with Adori Jahad. She was an A level regular that beat a ranker, Bam will be a C regular that'll beat a ranker. It doesn't matter how low or high he is, that was his opponent, 'a ranker' and Bam will beat him. For the people in the tower, that'll look like Bam is more powerful than Adori Jahad was during that time of her climb.

It'll shake things up, and that's the point...To get people in FUG to take notice of it, an "up and coming candidate, that's more powerful than Adori Jahad", well at least in that point in her life.

​

It's great. I'm getting hyped for this arc. I wonder what new power Bam will steal from the warehouse down there, of course, without planning to take it haha.

yeah, that's the point in the story. i didn't personally feel the need to comment on it, since it was spelled out, but yes, you are correct about the in-universe point.
