Even though it's said by other heroes he should rank up, he refuses as he
feels it is his duty to remain in the number one spot of A-Class to prevent
the unworthy from becoming S-Class heroes, except for those whom he sees
worthy like Genos, fitting Sweet Mask's philosophy about "heroes needs to be
beautiful too"

But how does he plan to stop? Had he not approved of Genos, what power does he
have to stop him from climbing to class S. Isn't that the decicsion for the
association?

How does Sweet Mask (A-Class rank 1) plan to stop unworthy heroes from moving to S-Class?


As mentioned in [this](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/28397/15542) answer,

There is no other way than being #1 to rank up. Therefore, as long as you are
#1, no one in your class except yourself can rank up to the next class.

Sweet Mask is "supposed" to be way too powerful for the A-Class (from what he
says, as we never saw him fight), so there is no way anyone in the A-Class
would ever be stronger than him. Therefore, no one can take over the first
place of A-Class as long as Sweet Mask doesn't rank up.

The only limitation of his system is that he can not decide on who can
directly start as a S-Class, as it is only decided on the tests. This is why
Sweet Mask could not influence Genos' rank
