Hans

## Introduction

Hans was introduced as servant from the Steelwall family, who's grandmother was the second wife of Count Steelwall's nanny and provoked Zich after he regressed. After Zich left the Steelwall territory, Zich brought out Hans and trained him to fulfill his dreams of becoming a Hero.

## Personality

At first Hans had a very timid and gentle attitude towards others, but as he progresses and gets trained by Zich along the journey, Hans develops more self confidence in his abilities as well as his responsibilities.

Both Hans and Snoc have been with Zich and through his harsh training and through Zich's personality know when to trust Zich's judgement. Even in a dangerous situation, they had firm trust in Zich’s ability to survive. They reached a point where they realized that worrying about Zich was the most pointless action in the world. After Zich regressed, Hans had the longest relationship with Zich. Even though Zich acknowledged Hans’ dream of becoming a hero and offered a lot of teachings related to his dream, some of Zich’s bad personality had rubbed off on him. It wasn’t noticeable since he was usually with Zich, but Hans’ speech had already become very rough.

At first he had been too embarrassed to say that his dream was to become a hero but as his experiences and skills gotten more developed, he was able to say it confidently. Estellade had chosen him as its owner, and even though he considered himself as Zich’s lackey, Violuwin had titled him as a hero. Most of all, Zich had acknowledged his dream. Hans didn’t plan on going out of his way to tell people his dream, but he developted to a level where he didn’t have to hesitate to answer when others asked about it.

## Abilities

Throughout the journey with Zich, Zich had been improving Hans through strict and harsh training as they progressed. After leaving the Count’s residence, Zich had developed Han's swordsmanship as well as taught Hans how to use mana, while increasing his endurance and strength to order him to do more things. Zich had originally taught Hans for his own comfort and half out of a joke just so that Hans has means for self-protection and not being a burden on the journey, but Zich was surprised to discover Hans’ potential. In terms of talent, Hans was above Greig who had been evaluated as an excellent successor, and could be comparible to Glen Zenard.

Zich trained Hans to be composed at any situation in order to not cause panick and allow Hans to fully attack and defend with full capacity. At first Hans was only able to barely beat an orc by himself, but with the training alongside Zich through the adventures, Hans was able to be strong enough to take out seven trolls with the assistance of Snoc mercilessly. Hans' training allowed him to

Upon arriving inside an ancient ruins in search for Tornium for Zich, they stumbled upon the holy sword Estellade instead and were attacked by the robed figures. After Zich and Lyla had been separated from Hans and Snoc, Hans had been able to pull the holy sword out from the podium and wield the sword.

When Hans swinged the sword, there is a bright light that attacks and blinds the enemy. The light was able to intensify Hans' mana and seep into his his whole body and to boost his physical ability.

## Story

The story begins with Hans barging into Zich's room demanding him to wake up which unbeknown to Hans, Zich has already regressed in this timeline Zich beats up Hans. With the antagonistic view of Zich by the Count and Countess, Zich duels the Knight Byner as well as Grieg to settle the fact that Hans had insulted Zich as the heir. With Zich's victory over the two, Hans' fate had been left to Zich, which Zich takes Hans out of the Steelwall alongside his journey, as his servant.

Han's first true battle as a 'hero' was against the berserked Snoc who had been manipulated by the Robed figures and fused with Nowem.
