It's because Shu, the leader, possesses the power to draw out Voids that it becomes effective method of delegating authority, since it concentrates the authority solely on Shu, since only he can draw out Voids. In this situation, where the government is slaughtering people, Shu's Void power, which can defeat Endlaves, would certainly be useful from their point of view, thus legitimizing the ranking system, which legitimizes his leadership.

Most students are unfamiliar with voids to start with, nobody really understands them at all even at the top, and there's no reason to believe those with a high value void will have the necessary qualities to do their job - while those who do have those qualities may be stuck at the bottom because their voids are weak.

These concerns are perfectly correct, but in this situation, the mystery of the Voids might mean that no one would question it, just classifying it as a supernatural power and stop thinking from there. The fact that not that long ago, people were being crystallized left, right and centre would certainly add to that.
