Lero-Ro


 * "I'm now going to the 77th Floor. If I go there... I may be able to find the truth." 


 * - Lero-Ro to Quant

Lero-Ro (레로- 로, Rehro- Ro; "Lero- Ro") is a former Examiner of the Second Floor. He is an exceptionally strong Ranker, to the point that even Quant, also a former Examiner (and a haughty one), would constantly boast about his strength. He was supposedly the strongest Second Floor Examiner, and is particularly skilled in the use of Shinsoo. He is also the Light Bearer trainer. He is fairly old, older than Yuri Zahard, as he stated that Anak Zahard didn't live up to a Princess's chaotic expectations like Yuri Zahard did. He and Quant are awkwardly described as a "Set Menu". He is apparently quite famous as his profile can be found on the network Light Bearers use.



Appearance and Personality
Lero-Ro is a tall human-looking individual with blonde hair and two black spots under his eyes that show that he has undergone a special test. His choice of clothing is that of most test examiners: a white lab coat with black trousers and gloves. After leaving his position as one of the Examiners, he is seen in a black tuxedo.

He appears to be a fairly collected and easygoing person. He is somewhat inquisitive about people. According to Yu Han Sung, he had always been seen with Evankhell(Ch 26), implying both of them worked together quite a lot and he was capable and trusted by the Ruler.

He is also very sharp and even realized Anak Zahard was a fake(Ch 18) and called her "Anak 'Zahard' ". As a result, he considered her powers to be "under expectations"(Ch 18), as she wasn't really a Zahard's Princess. He considered her weapon to be "a little bit dangerous"(Ch 18), implying he might've known it was the Green April.

He had trouble considering whether or not he should let Koon pass the hide-and-seek test; although it was obvious that Koon was brilliant, he also considered Koon dangerous. Yu Han Sung noted that due to his intelligence and curiosity he could be quite hard to manipulate. He is a shrewd individual, realizing that his superior is hiding something about the truth of the Tower, the Irregulars, and Baam. It's unknown if he knew Rachel was an Irregular.

Tower of God: Part I
Lero-Ro proctored the tests on the Second Floor with the other examiners. He introduces himself to the Regulars just after they team up, then flings a Shinsoo barrier at them. When Baam was not pushed back by the barrier, Lero-Ro realized that he had "another monster," and agrees to let him pass. He sat with Baam and watched as the other Regulars try to get through the barrier. They made a bet over who would pass through the barrier first, with the winner having the opportunity to ask the loser a question. However, they both bet on Anak and both proved to be right. Lero-Ro conceded the bet to Baam, who asked him what an Irregular was. When all the Regulars had gotten through but three, one of them loudly complained, causing Lero-Ro to shock him with Shinsoo, to prove that he could not advance. Afterwards, he left them to the next test.

He next appears during the Crown Game. He watches Anak's fight and states that although she was strong, she was a disappointment compared to Yuri - although her weapon was a bit dangerous. When Anak attacked Baam to try and get the Black March, Lero-Ro intervened and arranged things so that if Baam's team won the Game, they would get the Green April, if they lost, Anak would get the Black March.

Later, he serves as the trainer for the Light Bearers. He watches the hide-and-seek test silently, and saw Koon's whole scheme through his Lighthouse. He had difficulty deciding what to do with Koon, which Yu Han Sung only made worse by talking to him in a cryptic and menacing way.

Later, Koon came to him to reveal that someone other than a Regular had influenced events in the previous test. Leo-Ro took this into consideration, and spoke to Yu Han Sung about the purpose of the second floor. He notes that "a sea without waves is no different than stale waters. And such waters are bound to rot. I think living while being hit by waves is a better idea."

As of Chapter 78, Lero-Ro has quit his position as an Examiner on the second floor and intends to go to the 77th floor, where the headquarters of the Walhaiksong resides. He tells Quant that there he may be able to find the "truth".

Powers and Abilities
Lero-Ro is incredibly strong for a former 2nd Floor Administrator, and is exceptionally strong for his age. He is held in a high regard by most Rankers, and many fans state that the proof of his strength is all in the Stat Cards; he has the same rating as RED member Lo Po Bia Ren.

Super Hearing:   He has amazingly good ears, being able to listen Ship Leesoo's silent comment from more than 100 meters away. It's unknown whether it's a result of shinsoo or simply a trait of his. The great collection of speakers he possesses suggests the latter.

Physical Strength: Lero-Ro is much stronger than he looks. He was able to hold back a two-handed swing from Anak's weapon with just one hand, without seeming to exert much effort at all. He may have used Shinsoo to do this.

Shinsoo Manipulation: Lero-Ro can create barriers of Shinsoo, which push weaker beings backwards, and will stop those who cannot handle Shinsoo from coming through (in the Regulars' test the only person not repelled by his barrier was Baam, who was shown to have incredible resistance to Shinsoo comparable even to Yuri Zahard). Lero-Ro can also increase the density of Shinsoo around him to incredible levels, enough to shock a powerful Regular unconscious just by getting near him.

Lighthouse Control: Being a Light Bearer, Lero-Ro can control Lighthouses. During his time as a Second Floor Examiner, he and Yu Han Sung were the only Rankers who could view every single aspect of the testing facilities. He has a bright gold Lighthouse, and can manipulate its' form at will, using it to explain Baam the basic structure of the Tower.

Lightning Technician: His statcard reveals that he is a Jeonsulsa (전술사), meaning he holds a special position and is capable of using shinsoo to wield electricity in battle.

Trivia



 * He seems to be an audiophile and enjoys collecting limited edition speakers as well as gramophones.


 * According to SIU, he was modelled after Pikachu and the "dots" on his face are some kind of paint (possibly permanent) and not moles.
