It is said that the sMerit is charged once.
The whole next Merit is handed out by secret agents?
Yes, some people received some sMerit based on their rank and that is being given away right now. There are also ~30 Merit Sources which get a certain amount of merit each month which they can give away, which then can be given away to others (since every received Merit will grant you 0.5 sMerit).
