Manhwa Chapter 14

## Chapter 14: Hero's Plans

**Manhwa Chapter 14** is the fourteenth chapter of the Webtoon serialization of the *FFF Trashero series*.

## Summary

The chapter begins with Han-Soo describing how the future Sword King Alex was a born tanker (someone who has high defenses). He notes that not all people who possess great swordsmanship become great swordsmen. Another prerequisite for a swordsmen is one who protects their allies while killing their enemies over long periods; someone who could still survive even if left behind and can return smoothly as someone with great swordsmanship and endurance. The teen admits that Alex will gain that title because he can both protect his allies like an iron wall but that he was capable of carrying out solo missions. The problem was that there was someone who stronger then him who deserve that title more, the Hero. Back to the present, an angered Alex retorts that Han-Soo could defeat the Demon King with his words alone. The teen admits to himself that the Demon King was actually far better with "words" then him, but this time he will win. Alex interrupts the Hero's thoughts as he adds that they could skip the two days and do Alex's training now, so if the teen want that apology earlier, then shouldn't he look around the market for some tools? An annoyed Han-Soo tells Alex that he wasn't in a hurry so go away, again pissing off the Knight Captain while Han-Soo and a nervous Lanuvel leave.

Han-Soo can't reveal his true level to avoid the Elf King's suspicions, thus he decides not to practice and keep pretending that he was level 4. He did plan for a way to gain an alibi for his present levels: visiting an ancient ruins near a forest then reveal to others that he had leveled up there. He then congratulates himself for practicing his observer's teachings for not rising for Alex's provocations, since he would have killed him otherwise. Lanuvel interrupts his thoughts to asks what he planned to do today; he notices her guarded attitude that most likely resulted from her experience from the Black Market Raid/ Massacre. He instead asks what happened to the slave they brought; he had originally planned to kill him for the experience but decided, thanks to listening to Moral's teachings, to make him into their baggage carrier. He was not in the mood to go explore the world to learn about Fantasia's past like what happened in the first round, he would only go to the places that have what he needed. Lanuvel answers that the moment he learned that he would be traveling with the Chosen Hero as a comrade instead of a slave, he was very motivated to the point where he had been eating large amounts of food and recovering quickly. Han-Soo wasn't surprised thanks to the high level of the slave, another example of how levels in the Fantasia's survival-style world dictated everything, since increasing levels actually increase things including magic power, your five senses, lifespan, etc. Unfortunately, this reminded him of how he lost all his levels, skills and items thanks to his reset. It also convinced him that there was no point on relying on these since powerful beings like the Teaching Staff or any other masterminds can easily take them away. Thus, the only thing he can rely on is science. He will start with greatly reducing the amount of equipment he takes with him and his dependency on them including the Holy Sword, since there was no way the teaching staff will let him or any Hero keep these powerful weapons when returning to Earth after killing the Demon King.

Han-Soo looks around the shops in growing disinterest, since they had nothing for him. Lanuvel, who had been watching Han-Soo walk around deep in thought most of the time, brightens before asking if he was preparing for an adventure and where was he going. He responds that it wasn't a distance that could be walked in a day, and even if he used the Dumpling Kingdom's magical teleportation circle to shorten the distance it will still take two days. They will hurry and prepare for the journey and leave as soon as they receive the payment from the elven delegation. He had no plans on traveling by foot all the time and he won't be distracted by side quests; he learned in his first run that he can buy time and safety with money, thus the goal of traveling swiftly and comfortably. Lanuvel interjects that he would need permission from the Dumpling King to travel that long distance. Han-Soo counters that he knew of a way to get the leader's permission, as long as the teen promises the king that he will return after finishing his business, but the teen was unsure if Alex will follow them as surveillance. Lanuvel then asks if their destination was the ruins, but Han-Soo answers the negative; they were going to meet a mighty being, someone who was his second teacher after Tony, in this case this being was his physical power mentor. He had met him by chance in the first round but this time he can visit this figure now in this round. The curious girl wonders if the being was a dragon but he denies it, comparing them to a dragon was an insult to them. Further intrigued, she wonders why his tone was more respectful and admirable compared to how he sounded most of the time, someone who looks down on others like he knew everything. He responds the technologically inferior people of this world deserve it. The teen then begins to tell Lanuvel what they need for their expedition but is interrupted by the arrival of one of the palace guards who reveals that the Elfheim delegation has just arrived.
