It took Leon quite a while to understand since he wasn't familiar with any of this, but basically:
In the first city, the rankings of awakeners were divided into three categories:
-Iron-Level (level 1-25): where you end up after arriving here.
-Bronze-Level (level 25-75): the middle point, and where the competition is the hardest.
-Silver-Level (level 75-100): the top of the first city, where only the strongest reside.
"That's nice and all, but based on what I'm seeing I'm never going to the second city, am I?" Leon sighed.
[Why?]
"Because leveling up with your stupid talent takes ages dumbass, it's gonna take me years before reaching level 100!"
[Haha, you misunderstood something, partner, the rankings aren't based on level!] EGO laughed, [The level beside the names of the categories 'Iron, Bronze and Silver' are just a limit!]
"A limit…?"
