Manhwa Chapter 03

## Manhawa Chapter 03: The Guard

**Manhwa Chapter 3** is the third chapter of the Webtoon serialization of FFF Trashero series.

## Introduction

Han-Soo learns of the reason for his failure but they accidentally give him a clue of the reality behind the scenes. He decides to cooperate ... but he, unfortunately, encounters another figure from his "past".

## Summary

The masked woman reveals that due to the mistakes he made in his first round, he should have lost against Pedonar, but instead easily won against him despite it. Originally, after his loss, he should have reflected on said mistakes and improve himself for the re-test. Han-Soo concludes that she was here to get him to reflect. With another metaphor and saying, she wishes that he becomes a helpful, kind person who will care for his comrades, a deep and wide ocean. She leaves, along with the pocket dimension, adding that his lessons will start now and she will return tomorrow at the same time. Han-Soo grabs his hair in frustration over his "homework", and Lanuvel, mistaking his stress for something else, asks that he lets them know of any side effects of the summoning, since it was her first time doing so. He doesn't tell her about his encounter but concludes that the masked woman and her associates were a group of professors that raises heroes, through kidnapping and training them. He didn't know their purpose but believes them to not be malicious against him. He also realizes that they were powerful enough to send him back to the past and can easily kill him if they were displeased with him. He decides that he will cooperate with the teaching staff for now until an alternative presents itself.

He asks Lanuvel to guide him to the King, his deeply held anger against the blonde for summoning him gone, though he wonders if her fate will be the same as the first round. While walking towards the King's room, Han-Soo thinks of a plan to negotiate with the King for favorable conditions since the useless King needed him more then he needed the King. Another knight that was with them suddenly tells the teen to watch what he says in front of their ruler and glares. Amused that he was seen through, he asks the knight if he will hurt him, the only hope against the Demon King, whether right or wrong. A male voice calls out, liking Han-Soo's spirit and declares that he will hit him before throwing a punch. The surprised Han-Soo barely dodges the right hook, earning a grazed left cheek. But the teen was more shocked that the man, whom he recognized from his first round, was here instead of somewhere else. And it didn't help that with his weaker body, he wouldn't have been able to fight the man. Lanuvel calls the man out on trying to kill Han-Soo, but the boisterous man, the Palace Knight Captain Alex, excuses his actions as a courage test and points out that the teen wasn't dead. Han-Soo thinks back to how the "savages" kidnapped and used violence on people in the guise of the Hero Treatment; remembering how ''he'' was used and thrown away by the Fantasians. But he believes that this time would be different as he takes out a pen from his inner uniform pocket and adds to the masked woman, dubbed Professor Morals, that his attack was self defense.

Han-Soo crouches before rushing between Alex's legs, striking at the captain's crotch with his pen and resulting in a few rips to the man's pants and the crotch ribbon falling off. Han-Soo sees his work and admits to himself that he couldn't do much damage due to his untrained body but thanks to the knowledge he gained in the first round, he could still wound someone. He also remembered the first time he met Alex: it was after meeting the King and the teen was introduced to him in an orientation. The captain had used the sword training sessions as an excuse to gleefully beat the teen up day after day. Lanuvel demands that Alex apologizes to Han-Soo but the surprised yet curious Alex declares that if Han-Soo defeats him then he will, on his knightly honor, apologize. Han-Soo doubts this as even in the first round, when Han-Soo finally beats him, the man refuses to apologize and it wasn't until the man died that he did so. As Alex leaves in a huff, Han-Soo wonders if the captain being here earlier than normal was a means of helping the teen relieve his pent-up stress. He also notes that despite losing all his powers, he still retained the knowledge he gained but it was still ridiculous that someone had made his ten years worth of effort meaningless.

In another scene, the knight that sent a message to the King, instead of stating that Han-Soo wanted the King to come to him, simply stated that the teen was requesting an audience with the ruler.
