I remember Amai Mask decides to stay at the top of A class hero to prevent
another heroes below him to get promoted. Then why is genos suddenly promoted
to S rank and surpasses Amai Mask and other class A heroes just like that?

I couldn't understand the logic behind promoting genos who is just a newcomer
in hero association (I know he's strong) and manages to get into the highest
rank in just few episodes. And I don't see why Amai Mask has to keep his plan
while knowing that there's a rule to promote a hero to S rank in instant.

Why is Genos directly promoted to S rank and surpasses Amai Mask?


_[Genos](https://onepunchman.fandom.com/wiki/Genos/Synopsis) was already
S-rank upon entering the Hero Association._ Amai Mask couldn't stop his
promotion as he was never promoted from A-rank to S-rank in the first place.

**I couldn't understand the logic behind promoting Genos who is just a
newcomer in hero association and manages to get into the highest rank in just
few episodes.** In **Episode 5** , The Hero Association interviewed Genos
about the House of Evolution's destruction and upon confirming that Genos
played a part in it, they made an exception and gave him the rank of S-class
based on prior experience.

**And I don't see why Amai Mask has to keep his plan while knowing that
there's a rule to promote a hero to S rank in instant.** Again, **it's not
promotion**.
[Promotion](https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&q=promotion&sourceid=opera&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8)
is a change of rank from a lower rank to higher rank. Genos is initially
S-rank so no promotion took place. He was not initially assessed as A-rank.
Amai Mask maintains his plan to prevent those heroes initially assessed as
A-rank below from climbing into S-rank. This might not be stated in the manga
but I see this as his way to prevent diminishing the standards on what it
takes to be an S-class hero, although he does acknowledge a few heroes not in
S-class.

It's by his choice that Amai Mask maintains his rank as A-class Rank 1. The
difference in ranking does not immediately mean that Amai Mask is weaker than
Genos. Example being King, who's S-rank but is weak and Saitama who's B-rank
but is probably stronger than most, if not all, S-class heroes.
