God of Tennis

Daniel Patterson.

On second thought, nothing came to mind. That didn't mean much to him. The opponent also gains 1 place in the ATP League Qualifier.

The only athletes that Han Woo-jin remembered were those who were strong enough to become top rankers in the future or received attention as unusual cases like Okuda. I didn't remember who the future ATP ranks 50th.

Maybe Daniel was the top ranker he couldn't remember. Of course, it could not be. So it was wise to put this kind of concern to rest early.

‘Andrew... is gone. ’

I scoured the milestones, but there was no Andrew. It was likely that he won and went on to win his first seed. Instead of Andrew Murray, he dug his eyes out again, looking for the name of Choi Hyuk.

How big do you think a march should be? Shortly after, he found a place with Choi's name written on it. At the same time, I know the name of the opposing Pokémon written next to me.

Mark Jeffrey.

It was another name he didn't know. If you read all the status panes of the players gathered in front of the march, you can find out who they are, but Han Woo-jin didn't feel the need to do so.

It was enough to see the opponent's status window, Daniel Patterson.

Hanwoojin looked around to see if anyone was looking at him. It was only because only two Asians participated in the contest, if only they knew the name, would give him or Choi Yeon-hyeok the attention.

And that expectation didn't go away.

‘Bingo.’

A short beard with lightly bleached blonde hair, over six feet tall. A man who seemed to be Nordic was looking at him. The man's gaze was quite blatant, but when Han Woo-jin caught his eye, he did not panic and lifted one lip.

A man who looks like the Viking of old stories smiles ferociously is reminiscent of something predatory. Hanwoojin raises his hand toward the racket bag he was strapped to his shoulder.

Knng.

You can hold the handle without opening the bag. Whether this was recognized as' holding ’the racket, a set of letters and numbers came to his mind.

Daniel Patterson

Strength 61/HP 60/Agility 57

HP 1980/2400 SP 600/600

Forehand: 10/20

Backhand: 8/20

Sub-Level: 8/20

Bali Level: 8 of 20

Smash Level: 8/20

Dropshot Level: 9 of 20

Robe Level: 9/20

Special Skill: None

Strong.

Hanwoojin's assessment was straightforward. That was all I could think of when I saw Daniel Patterson.

A balance-type player with no protruded singularity present. At the same time, both stats and skill levels were compliant.

That would be dangerous.

With his racket in his grasp, he carelessly glanced at some of the players, raising his gaze to the top of the window. Daniel's skill level was, among other things, a saw. Han Woo-jin didn't seem so lucky in the preliminary 2nd round.

Daniel, who was looking at Han Woo-jin, soon fell near the milestone. The user checks who the target is, and the user seems to have no further business.

A palm rests on Daniel's shoulder, looking behind him.

“Hey, we're not together. Thank goodness."

“... I was lucky for the draw. ”

Located in the center of the 16th election, Han Woo-jin and Choi Yeon-hyeok were not facing each other until four of the main players were hidden. The 8th and 9th. The ladder was halfway there.

It was unfortunate that one fell out of the preliminary.

In the second round, Choi Yeon-Hyuk competes first, and Han Woo-jin returns shortly thereafter. It was the opposite of the first round.

What is the health status of Choi Hyuk? Hanwoojin grabs the racket next to him and checks his HP balance.

HP 2130/2600 SP 630/680

‘So far, so relaxed. … SP has decreased. Did you use a special device?'

It was the first time that Han Woo-jin saw a player with reduced SP except himself. It seemed like he and Choi Hyuk had the same effect on reducing SP using special techniques.

And that meant that Choi Hyeon Hyuk had used 'Sliper' since the first preliminary competition.

He was not as easy to play as he thought.

The two of them had experienced the rigors of the ATP tour from the start.

“Everyone, please take your seats. We are now going to run the second round of the Qualification. ”

Han Woo-jin and Choi Yeon-hyeok sat down in the lead according to the word sit down, please. While basic listening was possible through public education in Korea, it was hard to understand all the contents.

It was not a formal sentence that flowed out like an English listening assessment.

So they decided to only care when their name was called. It was impossible to improve my English in a short time period of about a month.

“Then, let's begin the first match. Gutt and Clark, please come up on your coat. ”

The voice of the concierge echoing through the microphone raised two men. Hanwoojin looked at the status window of the two athletes walking to his coat and assessed which one would win. Maybe one of them will compete with Choi Yeon-hyeok.

‘No, that's not it. ’

However, Han Woo-jin turned off the status window that came to mind again.

I couldn't keep up with this foolish business against a Daniel level player. He turns his head and looks at Daniel as he decides to concentrate on his game.

Frizzy blonde, hard-grown, Viking guy. Daniel sits roughly 10 meters away. I grabbed the racket and recalled his status window.

Hanwoojin also recalled his status window and compared it.

Hanwoojin

Strength 59/HP 62/Agility 53

HP 2190/2480 SP 590/590

Forehand: 10/20

Backhand: 9/20

Sub-Level: 12/20

Bali Level: 7 of 20

Smash Level: 10/20

Dropshot Level: 6 of 20

Robe Level: 5/20

Special Skills: Sparrow (sub), Slug (smash)

Hanwoojin was winning by the extent of sub and smash, other than being similar or a little behind. Technically, it is possible for one another to pierce one another's weaknesses. Whether you win or lose, your opponent must be prepared for a significant struggle.

The sound of the Judgment leaps into his ears as he contemplates the rally in his mind. It was still a powerful voice.

“Player Ready! ”

So, the first match of Qualification 2 began.

Time was fleeting.

Three races passed in a heartbeat. A loser and a winner were born for each match, but neither of them cared about them.

As soon as the third match was over, Choi Hye Hyuk stood up. His face stands still beyond the stiffness of a blade. The athlete's distinctive white skin flowed through the skin before the race.

“I'll go first. ”

“Huh."

Whether it was because of the tension, the words between the two were short. Choi Yeon-Hyuk went down to his coat without turning his head once, and he didn't give Han Woo-jin a single glance and became obsessed with Daniel's virtual rally.

The higher the concentration, the more insensitive the person becomes to the situation around him. Hanwoojin's concentration was quite remarkable, and the sound disappeared from his ears in an instant. I was half awake, but I couldn't see anything.

It was Choi Hyuk who returned from the game after 50 minutes of bringing his consciousness back.

* * *

“Hey, Hanwoojin! Are you asleep?! ”

“... Is it my turn already? ”

Choi Hyuk waved Han Woo-jin's shoulders to see if he was sleeping. However, Hanwoojin opened his eyes as soon as his fingers touched his shoulders. The consciousness was in a state of clarity.

He looked at Choi Hyuk with his eyes that sank even deeper, perhaps because he had been closed for a long time. I guessed how much stamina consumed my sweaty, trembling limbs with wet hair. However, his expression was not dark.

Hanwoojin raises the tail of his mouth.

“You won, huh?"

“Of course. It's a little backwards, don't you think? ”

I had to. All the more reason not to think better than strong opponents. If you don't leave a result in any sport, embarrassment spreads. I didn't want to fly to France that far and return with my qualification.

Hanwoojin got up from his seat and once saw where Daniel was sitting. He's already halfway down the court.

“Farewell.”

Han Woo-jin across his shoulders looked at his coat just like Choi Hyuk did. Then I heard Choi Hyuk's voice, who was exhausted but someplace else.

“You're going first? ”

You sound disgusted.

Han Woo-jin thought so.

Unlike the 1st round, the 2nd round was fine to leave the venue as soon as the game was over. Perhaps Choi Yeon-hyeok is going towards the audience with the group.

It is always easier for those who win first, and harder for those who are left.

“I'll see you later. ”

I answered briefly. I wasn't the type to say something like ambition just before the match. Hanwoojin climbs up onto his coat as he heavily sinks. A sharp standing sensation even made me nervous. I like the way Daniel smiles across the street.

I did not.

Whether it was because of tension or boiling determination, Han Woo-jin walked toward the net feeling a faster heartbeat. A single glaring referee bounces a coin.

Ping!

“Front.”

“… Back. ”

Hanwoojin said before the coin fell, and Daniel, who twisted his eyebrows once, was reluctant to follow.

The referee takes his hand off the coin, smiling as if it were funny.

It was the front. Han Woo-jin caught the sub.

Shit!

Daniel strutts his mouth roughly as he walks to the edge of his coat. I was impressed by the fire nature of the original fur resembling the ancient Viking.

If you play the game as it seems, it was welcome for Hanwoojin. A player with an easy to understand reaction can be thoroughly dug into him.

However,

‘I can't shake my eyes. That's just smoke. ’

I couldn't believe my rough-looking appearance or my tone. Daniel's eyes are as cold as ice. A snake-like cold-blooded creature lurks within Viking's shell.

The referee declared the start when the two players took their seats.

“Testing Han on my right! Daniel Paterson on my left! Han to serve test!"

He gets up from the Referee next to Nate and waves his hand.

Love All (0: 0)! Play! "

The beginning was declared, but Han Woo-jin did not move immediately.

‘It's not a surprise attack. ’

Before the voice of the Judge is cut off, the opposing Pokémon lowers their posture to prepare for the serve. It meant that he did not intend to be hit by a surprise serve immediately after the declaration of the match. Experienced and good at it. It was a difficult opponent.

First of all, it's aircraft suppression. Hanwoojin decided to use the sparrow without spare.

Paan!

The ball that was thrown splits the air horribly. Daniel's reaction to the relatively small Asian hit was slow enough to believe it was fired.

“Fifteen love (15: 0)! ”

Again.

Hanwoojin once again strikes the sparrow. A spin serve flying at a terrifying speed strikes Daniel's service coat. The moment you took a picture of your coat, you showed me the power of a blown whip.

However, Daniel did not stand still. He flies relentlessly in the direction the serve flies.

Th...

“Thirty love (30: 0)!"

A loud racket howls at the wind as if it were about to bounce off either side. The serve, which flew to the side, again passed the point to the right side.

Even though he succeeded in successive aces of service, Han Woojin's complexion was not very good. The opposing Pokémon's adaptation to the Sparrow has lightly surpassed expectations.

Hanwoojin had a hunch.

The next sub is also put in a sparrow to be returned. It may not be flawed, but in three laps it was also undesirable to lose the benefits of the ball, Sparrow.

He changed his mind for a moment. It is a flat sub that relies on speed and sharpness, not a sparrow that bends with excessive spins.

Bam!

It was a speed that clearly demonstrated 12 levels of power. With a speed-gun, it'll be over 200 km/h lighter.

A fast sub that steals points in a snap if not read in advance.

And Daniel took it for granted.

Paan!

“Thirty Fifteen (30: 15)! ”

With Hanwoojin, the strongest serve was beaten by rising and returned to a higher speed. No one's getting any of this. The ball bounces out of the coat even before the sub is in an orderly position.

What a nuisance!

Han Woo-jin had to admit it while going.

The Viking man across the net was the most dangerous of all these Mets Open preliminaries. It meant that there were no weaknesses, not only in technology but also in experience, in response to sudden sub spherical changes.

Looking at Daniel's body, which seems to bulge even further, Hanwoojin tosses the ball again.

Bam!

A sharp serve tears through the air, producing a wave that resembles a scream.
