I thought the favor was for her to betray Baam at the test. I assumed that Baam was the one who was chosen by the tower, but because he was only there for Rachel, Headon needed Baam to feel as though he had been betrayed by his star - Rachel, thus leading him to become the Slayer candidate. The entire set up was elaborate to the point where Rachel was merely a pawn in the hands of FUG, Headon, Coffee Addict (Han Sung Yu) and even Hwaryuun were all working towards making Baam the perfect weapon for killing Zahad. Judging by the fact that they named him Jyu Viole Grace after his parents, they also knew who exactly he was and why he would have both the power and motive to kill Zahad. I think FUG is more in control of the entire tower than the Zahad family knows, and they invited Baam into the tower on purpose. Maybe they even invited/tricked Rachel into wanting to go up the tower for this same purpose. Perhaps Rachel's entire interaction with Baam and her desire to "see the stars" were all a part of the same plan to get Baam to want to follow her into the tower. Additionally, how did Yuri find out about Baam, what is her interest in him and other sub plots might change FUGs plans with Baam. Finally, I think that Baam's real strength is his unwavering quality of mind. He doesn't get easily swayed by others and he is a very honest and genuine person, so regardless of what everyone's plans for him are, he will carve his own path. This is what Hwaryuun figured out and decided to just help him out instead of carrying out FUG's plans. So even when he meets Zahad, he will not just fight him to kill him, instead he will change the tower itself.
