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 Administrator (and a haughty one), would constantly boast about his strength. He was supposedly the strongest Second Floor Administrator, 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, whom he met when they were both regulars. He and Quant are awkwardly described as a "Set Menu", explained by the fact than Lero-ro and Quant climbed the tower together like a team. He is apparently quite famous, as his profile can be found on the network Light Bearers use and he took about 400 years to climb the Tower.

Appearance & 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 Agero Agnis 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 is unknown if he knew Rachel was an Irregular.

Tower of God: Part 1
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 agreed to let him pass. He sat with Baam and watched as the other Regulars tried 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 but three of the Regulars had gotten through, 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.

During the Position Test arc, Lero-Ro serves as the trainer for the Light Bearers. He watches the Hide-and-Seek test silently, and sees 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.

After the Hide-and-Seek Test, Koon came to him to reveal that someone other than a Regular had influenced events in the previous test. After given sufficient evidence, Lero-Ro suggested that there may be another way to get the injured Rachel into the next text. Later, with Koon's suspicions in mind, he 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".

Extra Floor 77
Traveling with Quant, Leo-Ro runs into Hachuling. After Quant is defeated by the Walhaiksong member in a series of comical games, Leo-Ro decides to fight him for real. However, before they can begin, Hachuling recieves a boring assignment* from Wingtree, and decides to admit the pair into the organization if they'll do his work for him.

Archimedes
We discover later that he succeeded in infiltrating the Archimedes ship by being recruited as a guard of the facility which is currently working on Emile.

The Truth
Dressed as guard saves Hatsu from a patrol was trying to destroy itself ,says that Hatsu has made ​​great progress.

Powers & 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. But SIU told that with his position of Lightening user, he is stronger than Ren.

Super Hearing: He has amazingly good ears, being able to listen Koon Agero'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, and is skilled enough to create lightning with Shinsoo.

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.

Notes & Trivia



 * In chapters 52 and 55, Lero-Ro's face can be seen on the vending machine.
 * He seems to be an audiophile and enjoys collecting limited edition speakers as well as gramophones.


 * According to SIU, he was modeled after Pikachu and the "dots" on his face are some kind of paint (possibly permanent) and not moles.
 * In one instance, he and Quant have been referred to as a "set menu." This is demonstrated by how Quant and Lero-ro travel together.

Quotes
''"Looks like we got a monster." ''-Lero-Ro in reference to Baam.

"Do you know what is the most important factor in climbing the tower? That is - luck. Luck that allowed you to be born with a strong body. Luck that gave you a smart brain. Luck that brings wealth. Luck that avoids death. Luck that gave you a team- the reason you all have made it so far- was because of your luck. And you're saying that testing your luck is unfair?" -Lero-Ro

"Don't you think that god is quite cruel? When he first shows you this world- makes us feel we could possess anything in this world...however, with a sudden appearance- he tells you 'that's your limit.' Even though there are so many things that we want still unfulfilled." -Lero-Ro to Baam about an unfortunate regular

"However I do know that there will also be a time when you must stop as well. And at the moment that you do stop, at that place I hope that what you are looking for is there."-Lero-Ro to Baam answering his question in chapter 11.
