< Andong Futures Final # 3 >

[Clear 1 of the "Special Skills Smash" Season Conditions]

A few more times, the notification window did not change. Han Woo-jin had no idea what the terms were. The system does not speak kindly to him.

What was the condition? Perfect score or the finals? ’

There was no way to confirm. So far, Han Woo-jin has checked the daily route of what he obtained through the system. Now that the phrase "penalty" for special skills itself had first appeared, there was nothing he knew.

Once this had happened, it was only necessary to win with exactly the same conditions as one set before it could reliably meet the fine conditions.

‘Perfect score 2 in a row against Okuda. ’

If it hadn't been out of one set of shocks, it might have been easy to achieve. But Okuda's unfathomable eyes denied it. He wasn't a player worth breaking down for a set of stolen goods.

I didn't even have time to stand and think. Hanwoojin climbs onto his coat in pursuit of Okuda. Then he burst his voice as if he was waiting for him.

[One set has been completely overwhelmed by Han Woojin, but the match is not over yet! From now on, let's begin the second set of the Ophthalmological Futures Finals!]

After one set was neatly finished with a score of 60, Han Woo-jin again took over. It was like a series of service hells that Okuda went through in one set.

Hanwoojin glances across the net at Okuda. His face sank quietly, unlike the first set. It is a hard expression that does not expose emotional changes.

‘Surprisingly quickly recovered. ’

When a young athlete like Okuda encounters an unexpected obstacle, it's easy to settle down.

But I stood up alone without anyone else's help. I was also a world ranker in the future.

“Love All! Play Hanwoojin Serve! ”

Hanwoojin throws the ball up with a signal of the beginning of the judgment. Even if you fixed the mental health, you wouldn't have recovered the stamina and mental strength you spent in the first set. I had to chase them relentlessly while holding on to the victory.

Another special skill consumed SP 15 was triggered. A twisted, flying sub.

Bam!

The ball flies towards the service coat to the right of Okuda. It was Hanwoojin who enjoyed cheating from left to right in a set, but how about this time?

And Okuda grabs the racket with both hands as if she was waiting. Incomplete forehand double.

Tongue!

“15: 0! ”

You hit the ball in Okuda's racket frame while watching and swinging it to the end. Okuda frowns and touches her frowny wrist.

However, this response was meaningful. Hanwoojin realizes the opposing Pokémon's thoughts and kicks its tongue lightly.

‘I didn't care about winning or losing. That was quick. ’

Hanwoojin and Okuda's cars weren't that big. But it wasn't small enough to turn it upside down with one tactic. Now that one set is perfected, Okuda's odds are probably below two halves.

Instead of rolling my head to win for nothing, I do what I can. He was eager to gain experience through the rally with Han Woo-jin.

In this case, even Han Woojin used to beat moderately, but...

“Damn it.”

I couldn't play the game as long as I was in a position to win the perfect score. I was lucky for Okuda. If Han Woo-jin had grabbed the battle, he would have gone down with nothing.

Han Woo-jin struck Sparrow again. Okuda retaliated with a hand double.

“30: 0! ”

This time, the ball that Okuda hit got caught on the net. The trajectory becomes more sophisticated. At this rate, it would be difficult to perfectly counter the sparrow, but it might be possible to get an okay reception.

Of course, he's not the only one who can see it. The moment it enters the observation in line with the sparrow, it switches to a simple flat sub and pokes at the hub.

Bam!

“40: 0! ”

Subsequent serves are drives.

The ball bends toward the sideline and slaps the coat with a loud noise. Service Ace.

“Game Hanwoojin! 10! ”

The game flowed into an atmosphere slightly more tense than a set.

Hanwoojin's dominance has not changed constantly, but Okuda has relaxed while Hanwoojin's side has stopped. It was inevitable that there was a goal called Perfect Score.

The movements of the two players flowed in the opposite direction from the aspects of the game.

The pushing side hurries forward, and Okuda relaxes and adjusts her skills.

In the end, it was a game that Han Woo-jin won.

He swings his racket with a ghost-like punch, and all the points flow away. I scored 4 points in a shovel.

The rally increases slightly, making it more physically consuming, but the coincidence is steeply inclined toward Hanwoojin.

Is that the result of the struggle?

The game came to the end just over half an hour after the start of two sets. If Han Woo-jin takes even this set, the match ends.

“Game Hanwoojin! 50! ”

Rotten.

Hanwoojin muttered as if to chew it out.

I felt dirty even though I was winning. Every time I hit the ball with all my strength, I could see Okuda's skill rising. It may not be easy now, but it will not be easy when we meet again.

“Play Okuda Serve! ”

But winning this game was still a win.

He won a tournament he hadn't played in years. The most valuable win for the pros.

Hanwoojin's body swells and sinks again, losing half his health.

Breathe deeply and momentarily. It was not a long term option, but it was a kind of trick that showed a brief recovery effect in the grid discipline.

Unlike the angled Han Woo-jin, Okuda's face that holds the ball to serve seemed bitter.

I got paid to continue the game after giving up the victory, but losing is always a bad feeling. He's been a rookie with only good grades so far.

‘Hanwoojin... I'll keep you in mind. ’

Faceless, not big, hard looking, and terribly cold rally proceeding.

As the game went on, everything he had came as a threat. He was an evenly trained athlete with no distinctive points except for serve, but that never meant he was weak.

The style of the original riser is less than a transfer if the user's skills are low, but it becomes more versatile after exceeding a certain level.

That's probably what a Korean named Han Woo-jin is aiming for. Okuda engraved the face and name of the bandit she met in an unexpected place on her head.

Okuda throws the ball to serve the final game.

Recognizing that the overhead serve is unilaterally returned, Okuda has made an anomaly in the underworld style of sub starting around 4 games.

It was a rather innovative attempt to put in only the overhead serve.

Bam!

In the case of an underhead sub, it is likely to be slower than an overhead. However, there were advantages of controlling the trajectory more widely through the unique spins raised from the bottom.

A large spinning ball draws a parabolic line in a oblique direction. Sharp serve you might miss.

Hanwoojin slammed his coat, watching Okuda's sub expand in orbit again, over and under. Instead of slowing down the underserve, the bound snaps to an acute angle. If you can't handle it quickly, it was quick to take two shots of your coat.

A low bounced ball is missed by Hanwoojin's racket.

It was an unintended slice.

Are we going in?

If the reverse rotation is too severe, the ball floats upward without advancing. The stroke just took too long.

However, some of the world rankers also used it to take a picture of the opponent's coat and then use it to bring the ball back to their court.

Barrels!

“0: 15! ”

“Whew.”

The ball barely crosses the net and bounces back into the net without giving it room.

Han Woo-jin, without Bourne, kicked the ball out of the impossible.

Okuda then slaps Serve.

The right hand and the left hand alternately took two points from Hanwoojin, but never made it to the game.

Eventually, the reversal did not occur, and the game was over.

“Game three! Match One by Han Woo-jin! Score 60, 60! ”

The winner was Han Woo-jin.

Obsessed with perfect scores, he couldn't feel the touch of victory or excitement until he saw Okuda approaching.

What the hell?

They don't speak a word. There wasn't much to talk about.

Hanwoojin stares at you puzzledly, and Okuda reaches out his hand with a shrugged face first.

“Thank you. ”

I knew enough about the word Arigato.

Hanwoojin's face rotted. Apparently Okuda thought he was doing everything he could for himself. In fact, I jumped on the soles of my feet to get some special skills.

Why else would he refuse to shake his hand? Han Woo-jin shakes his hand with an awkward face. The crowd applauded them.

It was a subtle victory for him somehow.

[Overwhelming Play! Significantly increases the EXP of skills used to win matches with Perfect Score.]

[For the first time in the Futures League, all stats will be increased by 1.]

[I have additional notifications/clearance of the 'Special Technologies Smash' Season Conditions.]

‘Oh, shut up. ’

In a different sense than during the game with Choi Yeon-hee, the notification sound of the system scratched my nerves.

Hanwoojin with a shivering face, Okuda smiling brightly, and a journalist who was watching the game in the audience took pictures of the two of them on the ground.

Their appearance was very contrasting in the lens as well.

* * *

There were three things given to Hanwoojin as a result of Ahn Dong Futures' victory.

Crystal racket winners are closer to a hand than cups.

27 ATP ranking points.

A prize of $1500.

To Han Woo-jin who touched the cup with a strange heart, Shin Se-yeon talked with a smiling face. It was because he was reacting like a child, a person whose emotions were usually not very well expressed.

At the awards ceremony, he said, "I can't get the cup out of my hand until I get back to the hotel room."

“You like that? ”

“Good, that's a yes. ”

Han Woo-jin smiled and felt bitter somewhere.

I've been craving something that sounds this light for over a decade, and I've never held it. It was hard to fall out of my hands for no reason.

Shin Se-yeon knocked on the laptop that she brought to deal with something, and handed over the main horse.

“Mr. Woojin, 3000 won? Or do you just put it in dollars? ”

“3000?”

He was surprised and asked again. I thought the winner was $1,500. Shin Se-yeon shook her head and recalled the details of the contract that he had forgotten.

“If you win, you agreed to pay an additional 100% of your winnings. Don't you remember?”

“Oh... I did. ”

$3,000. Currently, the exchange rate was roughly KRW 1,200, which is equivalent to KRW 3,000. I couldn't say much, but I didn't say little. At least it was much more than what Han Woojin had received in salary in the past.

“Put it in Won. ”

“… ok, I'm done. Check your account later. ”

“Phew, okay. ”

He replied with a dazed voice. I still can't feel it. Winning, winning prizes.

It was Shin Se-yeon and not himself that drew Han Woo-jin into the road reality who was obsessed with feeling for some reason.

Thump, thump.

“Who are you?”

Han Woo-jin, who was halfway in bed, jumped up and said. Then outside the visit, I heard a cheerful voice of tone.

“Hey, excuse me. This is reporter Kim Sang-pil from Sports Korea. You're Han Woo-jin, right? ”

A reporter for sports?

Han Woojin and Shin Se-yeon faced each other almost simultaneously.

The End
