First episode, 18:22 through 19:07. His right as one of the braves is fairly indisputable. Unlike all the others who's selection we didn't see.

The reason he declares himself the strongest in the world and fights the way he does is explicitly so he could be chosen. His master trained him to kill fiends. He uses specific weapons and tactics against specific fiends, as shown in the subsequent episodes. Adlet is trained as a demon slayer.

The awakening was sufficiently obvious to the continent such that Bunny-hime could determine that now is the time to reveal her "selection" as well.
