Given how brutal the climb to Level 4 must be, it's no wonder that the author largely skipped over that period with Silver Crow and Lime Bell.
On the quest for each next level, Silver Crow had to run into many Burst Linkers for whom a single loss would spell retirement.
Unless he deliberately checked their Burst Points before challenging them. And unless, when challenged by someone who would lose Brain Burst if he won, he always offered a Draw... and if they always accepted rather than stubbornly fighting to the last...
Even if he didn't personally retire someone, he might have left a loser with only enough points left for one loss... and then later heard that someone else defeated and retired them afterwards.
Truly, if the series were set in the first years of the Accelerated World, the lethal fight for Level 3 and over would have been far more important. But in this current era, it's all about Territory and Legions.
