That was actually the point SIU tried to get through : Baam is a "Shonen" hero, while Rachel is "normal", so that lots of us could "relate to that". But one of the bad way he's put it is the words of Headon towards Rachel as she enters: " You know how despicable you are" etc... That doesn't make you "relate", except if at least she had some "reply" beside "Oh, it's so unfair, bouh!" (something like "hey, for the past years I was a part-time foster mother, wana try it before calling me despicable ?").

Zahard and the 10 families have entered and passed 134 floor tests without backing down, the only who seemed to back down was Hendo Bloodmadder, and his family is paying a dear price for it. Urek is literally fearless. Enryu single-handedly killed a guardian, which is, I assume, harder than taking ANY test, and I don't think he did it "randomly". Phantaminum was a trespasser at the most guarded floor of the tower and slaughtered any resistance. Now you're going to say "but they had the power and knew it". And I say : "Now that they succeeded, we know they had, but before they did, can we be so confident in their...confidence ?":p

Now for the "But Yuri helped" part...Just take into account that at the last examination on the 2F, the Guardian knew that Yuri would come with other Rankers to "sweep off" Ren. So much to make the parallel, Headon knew (the Tower itself ?) it would happen. And That's why he requested for the Black March, because he knew the "ignition" would happen. So it was "predicted"/or the Tower provided "help" or "power" to its champion. Wouldn't it be interesting that the tests are to the size of the Irregular's desire, and the power(s) they get to the size of their "heroism" ? That would explain why Evan couldn't detect ANY particularity in Baam before, because he acquired it as soon as he accepted/took on the test. (makes you wonder how badass Urek and/or Enryu were then lol).
