God of Tennis

He was supposed to attend the Shenzhen Open, but even if he won, he could not fill 300 points with one Shenzhen Open. So Han Woo-jin had to choose a challenge league that was a little ahead of schedule and put in an application form.
Shin Se-yeon picked up her cell phone knowing that a low-challenge competition was held in Japan, a very close region. The Asian right, which was also a range that could have some influence with the Korean Tennis Association in Japan.
“I'm Agent Shin Se-yeon. I'd like to talk to you about the next tournament for Hanwoojin. ”
[Han Woo-jin... Ah! You won at the Seoul Open, right? Is he ranked 180th in the world this time?]
“Yes, he's right. ”
I hung up on him for a while. It seemed like he was trying to figure out how to deal with a player named Han Woojin. Too big to be treated as a rookie. Because he has a short career since his debut, which has attracted media attention.
He could not be treated with persecution.
Soon after, I heard him again. Seeing the voice change, someone else seems to have taken the call.
[Excuse me, I'm Lee Jung-hwan from the Korean Tennis Association. You're Han Woo-jin's athlete agent, right?]
“Yes, this is Shin Se-yeon. ”
[If you have anything to say about the upcoming contest, I'd appreciate it if you could find me. It's often delayed when a story comes up from the agents.]
“Very well. Thank you for your consideration. ”
Shin Se-yeon was pretty intense while having a conversation.
She doesn't even know the name Han Woo-jin, so she searched for 5 minutes and waited a few months before holding her cell phone. Now, the man who might be quite a position at the association asks for his name in direct line.
She feels like her shoulders are shrunk, even though she wasn't.
After roughly speaking, a polite voice from across the phone to the end responded.
[Challengers league in Yokohama, seeds of the gay competition. And I'm going to talk about propaganda openings, but I think the results are a little opaque.]
“Thank you. That's enough for me. We look forward to your continued support. ”
Shin Se-yeon hung up on the phone for a long time, hearing Lee Jung-hyun's voice saying that she would take care of the unsolicited propaganda opening. She was treated fairly well, even as an agent, as the responsible player was active. I didn't feel bad.
Is that why you want me to catch the player? ’
No matter how good an agent is, the athlete in charge is nothing. In that sense, Shin Se-yeon was very lucky. I've already got a new recruit in charge of three fingers in the country.
She looked down at Han Woo-jin practicing in her sailing court and thought she should give her the news as soon as she finished practicing.

The schedule in Yokohama, Japan, was very smooth. Reservations of accommodation and Sidwon were also okay to obtain after booking the airplane.
Hanwoojin gained five seeds and went one turn at a little faster time. As soon as they got off at the airport, they headed to the university of Geogizuku where the competition took place.
The University of Gayogizuku was a prestigious private university founded by Fukuzawa Yukichi, which was also painted on a million yen bill in Japanese currency, which was to be hosted on the University's tennis court.
“It's kind of amazing to rent a college coat and have a competition. ”
“Right? But it's worth taking a closer look. Keio University has the largest tennis circle in Japan. It has a huge impact on Japanese tennis. ”
“I didn't know that. I just knew it was a big party or a big club. ”
This environment in Japan was also very envious of students who dream of the sports industry in Korea. Merritt was also large that she could be systematically taught in high school as well as in middle school, and could be accompanied by academic studies.
The route to a prestigious university is also open and a career that makes treating me better when I debut as a professional. It was not something I could hope for in Korea yet. In this situation, you're pushing only one of your studies.
Although it could not be compared to football or baseball, tennis was also of a different size to Korea.
‘Is it too early? Well, you're greedy for football and baseball and even tennis. ’
Hanwoojin watched the landscape as he kicked his tongue out the window because of the lack of inner country. Unlike Choi, who often participated in Japan, including Kyoto Open, he was surprised because he had never been to Japan.
A new vehicle soon entered the Minato District of Yokohama, where the University of Geiguizuku is located. A sea as blue as a port city reveals itself from afar.
It had a different flavor to Busan, Korea. Unlike Haeundae, which has a considerable number of high-rise buildings, there were a few short, thick buildings around it. It's a nice day, and the sunshine is bouncing off the window and shimmering.
Born.
Kieing.
“Tsk.”
As I lowered the window of the car I was riding, I hooked, and the smell of the sea soaked into my nose. Even though the wind was strong, the humid and warm weather was making the smell of the sea stronger.
But it wasn't bad. The warmer weather gave Hanwoojin a gentle tightening. Even the harsh breeze was refreshing because of the sea. I was in a very good condition.
He groped the racket next to him and recalled a few days ago. A window of the most historic status I had peeked at as we were scheduling each other in the fleet.

‘Obviously it's growing more than ever. ’
Don't you think I'm just listening to a genius?
Choi Yeon-Hyuk didn't even possess the same capabilities as the system, but he was increasing his capabilities at a frightening rate.
Although stat rewards and other stats were not comparable to Han Woojin's rapid rise in physical strength, the skill levels and even slightly higher figures proved his growth. Hanwoojin, who was gradually released, was a renewal that was not lacking to achieve consciousness.
But I was not as nervous as before. Maybe it was because I was tired of envy and tension, and things were different from my life. Hanwoojin was able to calmly distinguish what he had to do and delight in the growth of his rivals.
The same was true of not wanting to end the previous days in vain.
Queek.
The car enters the buildings that are quite luxuriously built. European-style buildings were showing off in the sun as if they were proving the location of Gaeogizuku University.
“… is this building old-fashioned for college? ”
“It's one of the oldest colleges in Japan. roughly 140 years ago. ”
If you stay for 140 years, you'll look like an antique. After hearing her explanation, Han Woo-jin finally made sense.
A car that Shin Se-yeon was driving entered the parking lot at the University of Geiguizuku. Then a man who was waiting at the entrance of the parking lot approached and knocked on the window. It looks like you can enter after confirming your identity.
She lowers her window without hesitation.
“What brings you here? ”
“A competitor car that participates in the Gay O Challenger competition. I've come to the reception point."
“Oh, right. Can you tell me the player's name? ”
Painting came and went in fluent Japanese. Han Woo-jin in the back was staring out the window, not knowing what was going on or going on. After the identity check, the man cleared the sign that had been set up at the parking lot entrance.
“Welcome to Keiogizuku. You may enter."
“Yes, thank you. ”
After that, it was a thousand.
As soon as she parked her car in the parking lot, she and Hanwoojin made fun of walking towards the reception of the competition set up inside Gao University. The appearance of college students who were being trampled on by their muscles was impressive.
In Korea, students looked like universities in the ointment age. It was pointless to have the biggest tennis circle, and it was easy to find those carrying rackets around.
At the reception, a woman sat yawning. I didn't think I had anything to do with the situation because I had already received all the worthy players.
“Excuse me. ”
“ Ah! Sorry, are you a player? ”
The employee was furious when Shin Se-yeon spoke to him and corrected his posture. It didn't seem like a dishonest personality. Whether it was a relief or not, Shin Se-yeon nodded, smiling softly.
“Please look for Han Woo-jin from Korea. ”
“Hanwoojin Athlete… Yes, you have been confirmed, you have received Seed 5. Do you have any questions about the competition? ”
She asks a question, gleaming with a glance, whether the group is happy to be here.
But I didn't think to ask. So, while Shin Se-yeon was translating the staff's words, she talked to Han Woo-jin, and some students who were passing by heard murmuring as they looked at them.
“Han Woo-jin? Are you a Korean player in this competition? ”
“Oh, I know him. I made a pro debut this year, but I heard you already rank in the top 100. ”
“ Really? Genius!"
Hanwoojin did not understand the murmur, but she managed to suppress the slightly stubborn mouth. I can't believe it's such a good thing that the guy in charge is doing so well. I felt like I knew what it felt like to be an agent.
Responding to Han Woo-jin's strange expression, she left the reception point and headed for the parking lot.
* * *
“Huh...”
Hanwoojin, who had now gone through the almost everyday briefing, lay down on the bed. My body was thick, but my mind was tired. It was a subtle feeling.
Shin Se-yeon smiled as she saw him crouching. Although she has a bit of a rush, today's briefing was not that severe. It was also because Han Woo-jin's skill increased that much.
The average level of players participating in the Gao Challenge competition was not much better than Kim Choon Open. I mean, a nervous opponent, maybe one Japanese fighter against the top 200?
Of course, it was a level I could face with relaxation in Hanwoojin's position.
“Honestly, Woojin, you're not thinking about this competition, are you? He didn't ask me anything during the briefing. ”
“… I think so. I didn't have a player in mind, and I think it's going to be okay. ”
It is arrogant if someone who is lacking speaks, but if someone who is skilled puts it in his mouth, he becomes confident. At least Han Woo-jin deserved to raise himself at the Challenge League level. In Asia's low-challenge competition, the top 100 in the world rankings are worthy of being considered winners.
“The last Okuda I met was in the United States. Maybe he's just shy. ”
“Then that's all I need. ”
Ryosuke Okuda, who had hoped to participate in this gay challenge, was not in Japan at the moment.
Since losing to Han Woo-jin, he has decided to refine his skills more thoroughly than go around the competition. It was a wise choice to look to the future.
If you complete the unfinished Forehand Double Style, you will be the future world ranker. Even then, Han Woo-jin couldn't stop. Now that the breeze is blowing, we have to row one more time.
The mainline starts in two days. You can't even dream of opening Tokyo if you get caught in a gay competition. Han Woo-jin once again looked at the profile file that Shin Se-yeon imported.
‘Something's different. ’
Despite these senses, the world was no different from before.
The competition wasn't getting any easier, especially not with the other players getting weaker.
It was just that the spot where Han Woo-jin was standing was different.
Even if it wasn't the peak, it was just up the ridge.
It's a long way to go, but you can look down now.
