God of Tennis

Tennis tournaments were opening in Yokohama, Japan, at the University of Geiguizuku.

The competition, which corresponds to the Challenge League, did not use the name 'Open’. It was not named after the region and was named after the venue where the competition was held, namely the University of Gao Challenges.

Hanwoojin was embarrassed by the crowd that had never even thought of sitting around the court. The seats in the Outdoor Court, which was quite spacious, were barely visible.

‘This... is more than I expected. ’

He put out his tongue lightly. Even though things were better than South Korea, Japan was also not able to endure the power of tennis. There were no top rankers to consider, and their entry was comparable to the number or level of attractive competitions.

It was a fairly low rate.

Of course, it was a story so far. Han Woo-jin remembered that there was a top class ranker around 2012. It was definitely Nishimori... What was her name?

“… I don't know. ”

I can't think of anything more. Han Woo-jin couldn't remember the full names of the players except Big 4. Plus, he's a Japanese fighter. Even Asian athletes do not promote Japanese athletes in Korea.

I still remember the ranking. Nishimori was one of Asia's few giants to make it to the top of the world, if not the middle ranking.

6th in the world ranking.

In the next six years, the top man in Asia was Japanese. It is not a country that can be underestimated just because it is a little immature.

‘You don't have to be nervous now. ’

I didn't have to put in any effort. Hanwoojin naturally leaned over the bench and leaned against his back. The crowd members were very heterogeneous. Even though it's the same Asian country, it makes such a difference. The cold gaze of less than 30 audiences

It was very different from Korea when they played the game.

People clapping and rolling their feet looking at coats where rallies have not yet begun.

As soon as the class was over, students came running straight away, gasping for air.

These were the landscapes I wanted to see in my home country.

[Then from now on! The sponsorship of Gaeogizuku University will begin the Gao Challenge hosted by the International Tennis League!]

The cheerful voice of the host resounded in the air of the heated convention hall, not in a cheerful voice. Han Woo-jin didn't understand what he was saying, but he could guess what he was saying. What else does the moderator have to say in this situation?

He takes the racket he left next to him and puts it on his thigh. It is forbidden to be careless and relaxed. In a way, I had to maintain a stance that could be considered contradictory.

‘Let's take a look. ’

Hanwoojin's gaze, holding the racket, reveals the interior of the two athletes' status windows on the coat. His eyes gleam brightly, analyzing their numbers, which are reasonably competent but lacking somewhere.

* * *

It was also a good coat. You made it well in the beginning, and you've been in constant care ever since.

Hanwoojin carefully examined the condition of his coat by looking at his feet a few times.

I heard there was quite a history, but there was no dedication in the coat at all. The paint was also rare, and the bounds were very easy to read because there were no loose spots or irregular bouncing points.

There were no conditions that were not okay for Han Woo-jin. He felt that this gay challenge felt like a meal prepared for him.

And the opponent who's gasping in front of him right now.

Paan!

“Han Test Game! ”

Sharp sub dropped one game at a time. The opponent holds the sub and allows Hanwoojin to brake from the first game.

Otherwise, there were overwhelming differences in physical and technical aspects, and the mental waves led to this outcome.

‘As expected, nothing. ’

Hanwoojin squeezes his narrow eyes and double checks the opposing Pokémon's stat window.

Shinji Ishihara

Strength 54/HP 52/Agility 53

HP 1790/2080 SP 410/410

Forehand: 7/20

Backhand: 6/20

Sub-Level: 7/20

Bali Level: 5 of 20

Smash Level: 6/20

Dropshot Level: 6 of 20

Robe Level: 4 of 20

Special Skill: None

But in a way, this was normal. All of Han Woojin's opponents have been monsters, but it's rare for players in Challenge League to get above average stat 60 and skill level 60 combined.

Shinji Ishihara was also one of the average Japanese professionals. If it weren't for Hanwoojin, it wouldn't have collapsed like this.

However, there was a special alarm that came to mind in Hanwoojin's mind. It was not cliché every time I scored a game

[You have met the requirements. Clears EXP.]

[Skill Upgrade Progress: 4%]

"Upgrade"?

It was literally a flashing notification of his eyes. The skill you're talking about here was definitely Sparrow. It seems that the seal of the Sparrow is a precursor to this upgrade or something.

Han Woo-jin didn't want to be happy, but reminded me of a question. This unfriendly ability doesn't explain anything. what progress is in return, and what conditions we just met. I had to find out thoroughly by my own ability.

First things first, we have to figure out what 4% is settled on.

“I'm sorry. ”

Ishihara, who was panting on the other side of the coat, looked very sad.

After being braked from the first sub-game, he was deprived of another game in Hanwoojin's Service Ace in the second subsequent game. He still looks about 20, 21 years old. His career was not long enough for him to endure.

But all I could say was, From now on, Hanwoojin was going to use Ishihara as a sacrifice to analyze system notifications about upgrading Sparrow.

He didn't know what miserable game content was going to be. The apology was about the tragedy that was to come.

I trembled with frightened eyes as I met a sub-game that could easily score points. The Han Woo-jin that shines in his eyes seems like some kind of predator.

“3 Games! Ishihara Serving Play! ”

Only after hearing the word Serveha do I toast the ball with trembling hands. From the appearance of the swinging green ball, it seemed to represent his feelings. Of course, Han Woo-jin didn't have an ear for that argument.

Bam!

The ball flies, and a man moves.

I didn't even feel the need to observe after spilling a few times.

The difference between Ishihara and Hanwoojin was not appreciable.

* * *

Although the University of Geiguizuku was also a prestigious private school, it was famous for having Japan's largest tennis circle. There were many people who were pro oriented because of the large size, and many who actually made their debut.

Shinji Ishihara, who is currently distributing on his coat, was also a tennis player from Keiogizuku University. He made his pro debut around November last year and was continuing to make quite an achievement.

And today, I encountered a ghost in broad daylight, not on the road at night.

‘Why are you so strong...? ’

He managed to hit the ball into the sideline, preparing for the next rally. Scores lost while relaxing for even a single moment. The ability of a Korean athlete named Han Woo-jin, who had recently begun to make his name known, was as fierce as a blade.

The serve couldn't get its thumbs up after several reports, and if it blew the clumsy serve, it returned to the return ace. He probably thought he was going to win, but he was still learning to live on the ball.

If anyone who didn't know anything saw it, he made them think that the crowd was the opposite.

No matter how Ishihara tried dragons, she couldn't narrow her distinctive skills. Despite giving up the scores and consistently paying for iron, the legs are increasingly burdened and the force is drawn out of the swinging racket.

Soon the balance broke.

Barrels!

“Ah.”

The ball hit the edge of the racket flew high into the air. Ishihara's face turned blue after accidentally floating the ball. It was because I was intuitive of what was to come next.

If they're not right in front of Nate and they float the ball,

Puang!

- Smash.

I smacked the ball with all my strength with Hanwoojin, who jumped on my coat. Otherwise, the system has given him strength that exceeds the limit of his body size. In the case of overhead strokes such as sub or smash, the ideals of that force are clearly prominent.

The ball plunges straight into the sky without a moment's pause. It was strong enough to leave a dirt ball mark on the coat, and it was quick.

“Han Test Game! Set won by Ujin Han, 60! ”

The current Smash has determined a set of winners. Han Woo-jin came down from his coat, expressionless, and sat on the bench for a moment. Despite winning the set with a perfect score, there seemed to be no emotional fluctuations at all.

But it was natural. Hanwoojin didn't want to lose a game against Ishihara in the first place. What he was focusing on was another problem.

Skill upgrades, analysis of the factors involved in their progress.

‘I had a hunch. ’

Hanwoojin took the towel and wiped the sweat off his forehead. He raises his head again until the blue towel is bitter. The dull, sunken eyes stare into the air without shaking.

He's already come to a close conclusion as to what involves % of skill upgrades. It was something I learned by trying and scoring skills several times.

He mutters briefly in his mouth so that he will not forget what he has found.

“… 1% Service Ace at a time. ”

It was a condition that could not be distinguished whether it was easy or difficult. If Han Woo-jin had competed in Future Class, he could have ended almost every sub-game with Service Ace. If that had been the case, we would have made 100% progress in one competition.

But this was the Challenge League. The opponent is not greedy enough for Han Woojin to announce his victory. It was almost impossible to win all the games with Service Aces.

Filling him with 100% wasn't the problem. It was only a question of how long it could be filled. You might have to jump into the blood of the ATP250 league without using a single skill.

‘At least I want to finish before the eighth war. ’

In Hanwoojin's mind, that was the marginal route. The limit to which he can survive after winning without sparrowing. If you don't achieve 100% there, you are more likely to drop out of the next match.

It was the harsh voice of the Judge that brought him back to reality, who had a deep thought.

“Set 2! Player Ready!”

On his feet, Han Woo-jin lifts up the racket he put down for a moment. The opposing Pokémon's physical strength pushes out a strange landscape that catches their eye in real time, and he decides to win and think first.

“Test Han Serving Play! ”

Grab the ball the MCU gave you. A clean green ball without a speck of dust. Hanwoojin presses the smooth surface a few times and throws the ball up.

And the racket broke the wind.

Ends
