God of Tennis

< 4 Steel Battle # 3 >

[Overwhelming Play! Increases the EXP of skills used to win a match.]

[There is an enormous skill train. Significantly decreases EXP gains.]

Hanwoojin checked the notification by turning on the status window that was turned off during the match. As he predicted, the match against Song standard was not much. There was no skill level up, and no stat went up.

Why didn't you just go for Perfect? ’

In a match with Kim Jin-hyun, the agility stat rose by 2 in exchange for a perfect score.

Agility, which means reflexes or impulses, was quite pleasant because I did not know that training could be performed.

It was Han Woo-jin who regretted that if he had achieved the perfect score again, he might have risen again. Of course, if I had listened to this story, I would still have a fever.

I reached out to Hanwoojin's shoulders while trying to organize the status window in my head.

“Are you sleepy, Woojin? ”

With Shin Se-yeon's voice, Han Woo-jin lightly shook his head after just clearing the gap in the previous game. What he needs to focus on right now is not some game that's over.

“My eyes are a little dull. Oh, here we go. ”

It was as Hanwoojin said.

When the crowds returned for a short break, the second round of World War IV began with the host's voice.

Okuda Ryosuke of Fukuda Industries, a moderator who introduced Park Jung-hoon of Chongchun Fisheries, put them on a coat, and the referee bounced the coin to decide the sub-sphere.

"Serve". "

It was Okuda who conformed the coin. He unhesitated to pick out a sub-volume.

Sub is clearly a very effective offensive tool in a sport called tennis. There was even a study that showed that the side holding the sub-sphere had a higher odds.

However, from Han Woo-jin's point of view, the acquisition of Okuda's sub-sphere seemed to be meaningless.

‘Okuda is not strong, right or left. It won't be easy to win a battle with restraint. ’

Speed is the most important element in the serve. The user gives the target more room to catch a ball that isn't fast. Moreover, considering the location of the server that should be hit behind the base line, if I ate the drop shot, I had to run at full speed to the front of the network.

It was sub to take into account the drawbacks of failing as much as there was room for scores. And Okuda was not a strong player in the serve.

In front of Han Woo-jin, who decided to watch the aspects of the game, two athletes started the match with a referee's signal.

“On My Light Okuda Ryosuke! Park Jeong-hoon from My Lefts! Okuda to Serve! ”

The hand of the Judge falls down.

“0: 0! Play!”

Okuda gives a toast at the same time as the start of the judgment.

In response to the rising ball falling, Okuda's body rotates sharply. I took a step forward and lowered my center, not just my shoulders. I took a large step in the rotation as a measure to cover up the short speeds.

Bam!

Okuda strikes the ball over her head, reversing her old body. It was more of an overwhelming acceleration than a stroke with just a torso and an arm.

A ball that flew much faster than expected. Jung-hoon Park lost his vantage point without taking any action.

“15: 0! ”

Hanwoojin was slightly impressed. You think you can get a sub in that way?

The way to solve the shortage was quite fresh by increasing the range of manpower. The problem of restraint will almost go away if you can use such a serve reliably.

Of course, you can't keep playing, but if you mix it with your usual sub, you can change your confinement. It prevented the development leading to a unilateral return ace.

‘And Okuda can put a serve in both hands. When there are two subspheres, the trajectory is divided into four parts. ’

If low confinement is a disadvantage of the switch stroker, it compensates for its disadvantage with the roughness of various trajectories. If only restraints could compensate in any way, it could have the advantage of switching styles. Okuda's probably trying to.

But that's still incomplete.

“Fault!”

The trajectory is unstable. The ball is caught in the net and Okuda's coat rolls.

He picks up the ball with a slightly annoying face and tosses it again.

Re-submit.

This time, Park Jung-hoon also expected to be arrested and brought a racket. The ball bounces off the center of the racket over the net. Park Jeong-hoon also knows that the counters of this precipitation sub are drops.

However, the unexpected happened this time.

Okuda ran as if she knew this would happen as soon as she hit Serve. By the time Jung-hoon dropped the ball over the net, Okuda's body was already inside the service coat.

Fast Sub & Bali. A racket, handed over from the right to the left, hits the ball with a new serve.

Bam!

“30: 0! ”

If the situation you predict breaks down, you will be late to respond. Park Jung-hoon, a professional tennis player, was also no exception. He scored on Okuda's stroke, which turned out to be a left hand back hand.

This is the power of the switch. A player who freely switches sides and sides of a ball plays with the opposing Pokémon's senses.

Even Hanwoojin was not confident that he would react just now.

Okuda seems to have come up with a new style or tactic since her practice that day.

Whether a one-sided hit scratched his pride or an aggressive side to his original defensive style. It creates pros and cons one by one.

Shin Se-yeon, who was watching the rally, pointed out exactly that.

“You're out of balance for the score. You'll never be as defensive as you used to be. ”

Han Woo-jin nodded, empathetic.

Okuda's ability to kick a ball from the center of the coat into a switch peculiar realm was advantageous, making it almost impossible to balance an assault like Sub & Bali.

We could understand that the ability to concentrate on defenses and counters was distributed in an aggressive manner.

Unlike the two men who could be coldly analyzed in the eyes of a third party, Jung-hoon Park, who was able to cope with the arbitrary changes in his condition and restraints on his coat, was crazy.

He loses his cool and starts missing one or two flying balls.

“Game Okuda! 10! ”

In the end, Jung-hoon Park was deprived of the game after redeeming one point. It was a game worth rating if Okuda did it for the purpose of pressurizing the aircraft.

As soon as he changed his coat, Jung-hoon threw the ball with an angry face. In his view, he was unilaterally teased, so he was angry.

Bam!

The serve flies fiercely. As soon as the serve fell to Okuda's right side bounced off, it returned to Park Jung-hoon's coat on the road. The ball flew with such a strong force that it was hit by a lightweight racket.

Jung-hoon Park ran roughly and hit his coat. He smacks the racket as hard as he can toward the ball. Jumping Smash.

The stronger the stroke, the stronger the ball is. In the case of jumping smash or two-hand drives, it is difficult to feed the spin when picked up with a one-hand.

Okuda, who anticipated the power of the ball, naturally pulls the racket in her right hand towards the center of her torso.

It was a peculiar two-hand position that grabbed the grip with both hands.

Hanwoojin who saw it opened his eyes narrowly. No way.

Boom!

Park Jeong-hoon's thrashing ball flew towards Okuda with a strong force. It was a trajectory that wouldn't be weird if I was shot by the body.

But Okuda was not even a little embarrassed.

He pulls his left foot forward slightly to the left and leans sideways. I slapped the flying ball with my two hands in that slanted position.

Bam!

“0: 15! ”

It was his turn to amaze Park Jung-hoon this time.

If I get what I like to call a repentance blow back to the counter, I'll be forced to collapse. He just learned that Okuda's capabilities surpass his own with its rally.

Mental swings are rare when there is not a big difference in performance among professionals. Professional athletes believe they have the determination and the tactics to win in any way.

However, after realizing that the car was clear, it was easier to lose courage than amateurs. After all, evaluating a pro is a winning and losing record.

It was also because if you lose, you have to consider the distribution of stamina for the next competition: losing to 60, 60, dragging you to the tiebreaks to lose, or losing to the total. There was no reason to endure until I got hurt for nothing.

Han Woo-jin noticed a rapid decline in energy in Park Jung-hoon's movements. He said, kicking his tongue small.

“Too soon to give up. Hopefully we'll be able to draw more rallies into the long run than short-term ones with heavy hits. ”

“Huh? Okuda is not weak, right? ”

Oh, shit.

Han Woo-jin wanted to rip the mouth out of her mouth without even knowing it. What he knew about Okuda-style's persistent shortcomings was that his future experiences were no different.

A bizarre two-hand style called the Forhand Double has the advantage of being able to rotate the entire body and fire a punch without compromising it, but it has not been able to withstand the longer strength of Okuda as a user.

There was a reason for his failure to cross the walls of the top rankers in the future.

But that's a story that will be revealed at least five years from now. There was no reason for Han Woo-jin to see Okuda's weakness now.

What's he surrounded by? ’

Hanwoojin rolled his head hard. Shin Se-yeon's gaze at him was overwhelming.

It was Okuda Ryoske, the craftsman, who desperately devised an excuse to save him.

Shin Se-yeon notices Okuda looking this way and shakes her shoulders lightly. The conversation just now pushed to the other side of the memory through the aftermath.

“Woojin, look at the Okuda player. ”

“What?”

Han Woo-jin looked up at Okuda in surprise. The gaze of the two was temporarily tangled from the air and immediately separated. Han Woo-jin felt uneasy from Okuda's gaze, so he scratched his back.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Was it so unfair of you to lose a game of practice at that time? ’

He didn't know about it all his life. Okuda's feeling like a dog who lost a fight in front of an interested woman. It was also Han Woo-jin who didn't know how to tie the top of the coat and the outside.

However, the conversation just stopped the intervertebral arch, not Shin Se-yeon's.

In front of Han Woo-jin, who sighed for relief, Okuda's victory gradually solidified its form. The referee declared a set of winners in a loud voice.

“Set One by Okuda! Score 60!”

As soon as the score is called, Okuda looks at the rainy side again. Now, that's a glamorous look to say, "What do you think?" Then Han Woo-jin could see what his gaze meant.

It was an taunt. The perfect score he'd won, a kind of demonstration that he could do anything.

Of course, it could be dismissed as boring. I could have laughed at saving my health for tomorrow's finals rather than hanging myself from the competition.

But Han Woo-jin couldn't do that.

He pulls only one lip towards Okuda, looking straight at him. It's a joke. The provocation caught burns more than the avenger.

"The future world ranker has targeted me, is this it? ’

Asian athletes on TV, in newspapers, and in major competitions that I've only heard about. How many times have I dreamed of winning against them? Even in a premature age, it was an opportunity to make that dream come true.

Okuda's provocation was successfully consumed. Soon Han Woo-jin said goodbye to Okuda's coat and woke up.

“Are you going? ”

Shin Se-yeon asked with a curious face. Though it seemed to her that there was a connection between the two athletes, the experience was still poor to understand the world of deep men in its own way.

Han Woo-jin nodded once, heavily answering her question.

“I saw everything I needed to see. ”

Okuda's style is still unfinished. In an undisclosed window despite admitting a forehand double The item proved this.

But it was being trimmed at a terrifying speed. He was an unbelievable advance that he had encountered before the full moon.

Han Woo-jin couldn't sit down anymore. I didn't want to dry my hands reaching towards the racket in my bag. He doesn't look back, he talks to her.

“Let's go practice first. ”

Only the movements and movements Okuda showed filled his head. In my mind, there have already been several repetitions of serves and returns, followed by rallies.

Hanwoojin's gait after leaving the stadium was shaken lightly with excitement and tension.
