Background

Andeno is the Adventurers' Guild's eccentric warrior instructor. He evaluates prospective students through a fitness-focused movement and memorization test rather than a conventional spar, insisting that Yang Yu demonstrate proper form without clothing obstructing his movements. Yang initially mistakes the locked-door lesson for something far more sinister. 12

Yang's extensive fitness knowledge impresses Andeno during the assessment. Recognizing Yang's aptitude, Andeno accepts him as a warrior and grants him [Heroic Vigor] in addition to the skills Yang learns with skill points. 13

When adventurers begin vanishing in Goblin Forest, Andeno personally rallies the Guild to form a rescue party. His appeal to mutual aid recruits 110 adventurers—far more than the Guild expected—and he leads the resulting Rescue Corps into the forest. 19

Appearance

Andeno has an extraordinarily muscular physique and makes no effort to conceal his pride in it. His poses, calisthenics, and frequently flexing pectorals are a constant part of his manner. 12 32

• His clothes burst apart when he braces himself to stop the rolling boulder. 20
• He favors close-range fighting with his fists despite being formally associated with the warrior class. 34
• His muscular build is recognizable enough for Goblin assassins to identify him as a major threat. 27

Personality

Andeno is intensely devoted to fitness and enthusiastically promotes it as a path toward health and strength. His unusual teaching style and dramatic physical displays can be unsettling, but his intentions toward students are ultimately sincere. 12 13

He is compassionate, courageous, and strongly committed to adventurer solidarity. Rather than wait for higher-ranked assistance while missing adventurers remain in danger, he urges volunteers to act before more lives are lost. 19

Andeno increasingly trusts Yang Yu's judgment during the Goblin Forest operation. He repeatedly treats Yang's observations as valuable strategic insight, selects him for scouting, and ultimately gives his orders priority over his own when the Rescue Corps faces the Goblin King. 23 31

Abilities & Skills

Physical Strength and Endurance

Andeno possesses exceptional physical power for a Level 42 warrior.

• He catches a boulder more than fifty meters in diameter and holds it long enough for the Rescue Corps to escape its path. 20 21
• The feat leaves him severely exhausted and dependent on priestly healing before he can return to combat. 21 22
• He engages the Level 30 Goblin King directly, using buffed fists against the King's magic-enhanced longstaff. 33 34
• The Goblin King's corrosive magic and superior combined attributes eventually overwhelm him, leaving him unable to continue the duel. 34 35

Hand-to-Hand Combat

Although a warrior instructor, Andeno fights primarily as a boxer.

• [Annihilation Strike] — A powerful punch augmented by Destructive Breath; its clash with the Goblin King's staff cracks the ground and throws nearby Goblins away. 34
• [Supreme Fist] — A hurricane-like punch used to prevent the Goblin King from leaving their duel to attack Yang Yu. 35

Warrior Instruction

Andeno identifies aptitude, teaches combat fundamentals, and rewards promising students fairly.

• His assessment leads Yang Yu to learn [Cleave], [Intercept], [Sudden Killing Intent], and [Shield Block]. 13
• He awards Yang Yu [Heroic Vigor] after being impressed by his fitness knowledge. 13
• He demonstrates [Shield Counter] before the battle at the Goblin stronghold, allowing Yang Yu to learn it immediately. 32

Leadership

Andeno can organize large groups under pressure.

• He recruits and organizes 110 volunteers for the Goblin Forest rescue. 19
• He maintains formation discipline in the forest, ordering the group to stay together, conserve strength, and avoid unnecessary battles. 20
• After the boulder incident, he helps hold the Rescue Corps together despite fear and exhaustion. 21
• He transfers battlefield command to Yang Yu after recognizing that Yang's tactical coordination offers the Corps its best chance of survival. 31

Story Role / Major Arcs

Warrior Mentor

Andeno tests Yang Yu's suitability for the warrior class through a fitness lesson and movement examination. Yang passes by demonstrating unexpectedly advanced exercise knowledge, earning both Andeno's recognition and [Heroic Vigor]. 12 13

Goblin Forest Rescue

Andeno mobilizes the Adventurers' Guild to rescue the missing parties in Goblin Forest and leads the Rescue Corps into the dangerous interior. He becomes the group's physical anchor when he stops the massive rolling boulder, though the effort nearly incapacitates him. 19 21

After recovering, Andeno acknowledges Yang's role in unifying the adventurers and follows his advice to investigate the magical surveillance beads hidden in the forest canopy. 22 23

Assault on the Goblin Stronghold

Andeno receives intelligence from Yang Yu and Seka Mens about the Goblins' sacrificial ritual, then rallies the Rescue Corps to prevent the possible emergence of a new Goblin Emperor. 27

Upon discovering the Goblin King’s overwhelming attributes, Andeno concludes that retreat is no longer viable. He transfers command of the Rescue Corps to Yang Yu and takes responsibility for delaying the Goblin King in single combat. 31 32

Battle Against the Goblin King

Andeno holds the Goblin King in a prolonged duel while Yang Yu directs the wider battle. Though physically outmatched, he identifies the weakness in the Goblin King's rigid command structure, calling its army a “one-man dictatorship” incapable of adapting independently. 33 34

After the Goblin King's self-destruction devastates the stronghold, Andeno survives and assists Yang Yu in freeing and treating the captured adventurers. 37

Relationships

• Yang Yu — Former student and trusted tactical partner. Andeno recognizes Yang's fitness knowledge, grants him [Heroic Vigor], repeatedly seeks his strategic advice, and transfers Rescue Corps command to him. 13 23 31 32
• Bai Jin — Yang Yu's frail mage companion; Andeno includes her in the rescue force and relies on the Corps' mages during the Goblin Forest operation. 19 21
• Seka Mens — Fellow warrior and member of the Rescue Corps. They exchange intelligence with Yang Yu regarding the Goblin ritual and stronghold. 27
• Goblin King Jane Raji Cide — Battlefield opponent. Andeno stalls the King in direct combat and challenges its authoritarian military doctrine. 33 34
• Tella — Fellow Adventurers' Guild instructor. Tella monitors the Rescue Corps' movements during the forest operation. 21

Notable Quotes

“Don't panic! Those of you who still have strength, come with me and try to stop the boulder! Otherwise, we'll all die!” 20

“Even if I have to risk this old life of mine, I'll hold it back.” 32

Trivia

• The system transliterates Andeno's name rather than translating it, unlike names with directly translatable meanings. 32
• Yang Yu repeatedly misinterprets Andeno's overly physical friendliness and fitness instruction as romantic or predatory interest. 12 31
