God of Tennis

< Gay Challenger # 2 >

In the end, the first round did not leave Hanwoojin's palm from beginning to end. Shinji Ishihara had never played a game, and Han Woo-jin won with an overwhelming score while maintaining his unique expressionless face.

I couldn't take Han Woo-jin's sub to Ishihara until the end. There was that much gap between him and Hanwoojin.

The time elapsed is 37 minutes and 41 seconds. Perfect scoredown, quick wins.

“Match won by Ujin Han! ”

Only after hearing the Declaration of Judgment did Hanwoojin release his strength from the grasp of the racket. Despite his strong differences, the burden of winning the sub-game and his desire for perfect scores were lightly tightening his nerves.

‘It's a nuisance to know. ’

Hanwoojin breathed lightly and approached Nate. Obsessed with Service Ace, the amount of stamina consumed was slightly above the expected range. But now with the loss of a powerful scorer, Sparrow, there's no shortage of service aces.

It was because of Han Woo-jin's skill.

When the two netizens finished the match and shook hands, the audience who were silent shouted because of the overwhelming game.

Oh-oh!

What the hell?

I was really embarrassed. He thought that Korean athletes would not get a good view of Japan and the fact that it overwhelmed athletes from this university. By the way, what is this voice?

Hanwoojin was embarrassed by the unexpected scream and came down from his coat, collapsing to his usual poker face. Capturing his broken face was the sound of the notification system being heard with the end of the game.

[Overwhelming Play! Gain EXP for the skills you used to win 1 turn with a perfect score.]

[Correction. There is a breakthrough for the top leagues. Slightly decreases reward.]

[Skill Upgrade Progress: 19%]

‘19%... not bad. ’

If you have a perfect score, you only get 6 sub-games. If you count the number of times that you've never been returned, you have 24 chances to win a Service Ace. I won 19 of them, so it was a good score for the Challenger League.

Of course, Ishihara thought it would be too much to dig in if the grass could not die. He leaves the venue with comfort that the opponent was still Han Woo-jin.

Hanwoojin's first round ended like that.

Each time you succeed in Ace of Service, your skill upgrade progress increases by 1%. Filling it with 100% will benefit him, whatever it is.

Hanwoojin decided to find a way to make progress to 100% as soon as possible.

But then I thought, there was a blind spot. I need to play many sub-games to record a lot of service aces. But if you score as overwhelming as you did in the first round, the game will end too quickly.

If you exchange some points or games, the number of sub-games will increase as well as the chance of hitting a Service Ace.

You want me to pull a little bit? ’

Why don't we give them points or games on purpose and start the game? Han Woo-jin came up with such a trick. If it worked, it would have satisfied almost every % in the Gamo Challenge, as well as propaganda openings.

However, that expectation had also fallen for a moment.

In the next two rounds, Han Woo-jin deliberately handed over a game to his opponent, and in return, he was forced to frown at the audible alarm.

[Deliberate Practice! Penalties will be added for actions unrelated to the progress of the match.]

[The set of Service Aces where the action was taken has no impact on progress.]

[Reward EXP decreases.]

I wonder if we can't move. When points are awarded due to problems such as stamina distribution, the silent system suddenly thunders. After removing the same tactic, Han Woo-jin also finished a quick two rounds of scoring.

The progress we were able to make was only 8%. The disaster occurred because we were confiscated from one set of progress.

“Damn it, don't play tricks on me. ”

Han Woo-jin had a bitter taste. You have to use those tricks to make progress. The Sparrow was sealed. It was not bad to watch the battle with only pure sub skills. How good is the system?

I was a mutual complement.

Increase skill level by practicing or competing.

Leveling up EXP increases skill.

It was whether the eggs were front or back, or whether the chickens were first. Either way, it results in performance. Winning all the sub-games without any special skills will also be sufficient training. Han Woo-jin decided to take the penalty as an opportunity.

‘We have to try.'

It always has been.

* * *

A quick finish with a perfect score.

One game, two rounds of perfect score, with the exception of deliberate points.

Hanwoojin's game, which is literally overwhelming, attracted the attention of people who were filling the audience with half interest and half curiosity. No, it wasn't enough. They cheered loudly as if they were Korean or not.

I even cheered for Han Woo-jin.

During the third run, Han Woo-jin was able to see that one of his thoughts was prejudice. He thought that people in Japan, like Korea, would be satisfied with hostility toward other countries.

But they weren't. Of course, not without them at all, but most of them acted as if what was the big deal about being Korean. When a national player was pushed by a Japanese, he was somewhat different from a depressed Korean.

The difference between the victim and the perpetrator, or just the depth of each other's emotions. It was a story that even Han Woo-jin couldn't predict for more than thirty years.

Well, it wasn't bad for him anyway. There was nothing to lose because the audience was kind. Rather, the environment was better than Korea, which is hard to find. The irony was all I could express.

Pushing trivia into the corner of his mind, Han Woo-jin looked at the Australian breathless player across the court.

Even though you're new, you're pretty good. I knew you were from tennis. ’

The current score for round three is 62, 30.

It was very good, given that Han Woo-jin scored perfect or close to him in the previous two matches.

Oliver Hanson.

Like Han Woo-jin, he was a newcomer in 2006, that is, this year. It was a few months ahead of time, but the difference was not that big.

“Game 4! Oliver Serving Play! ”

However, it was a point in Hanwoojin where he did not recognize himself as a newcomer.

Oliver and other gods, or audiences, had monstrous skills. He remained in the second half of the 100th place, but he remained in the 100th place, judging by his skill level. More than just regular Challenge League

It was hard to find the variables of.

The Serve is inevitably reluctant to know that it will be returned. Oliver silenced himself that I didn't even know existed. My optimism of winning was long gone.

‘I can't do it, really. ’

He was confident in his skills. As a pro, Oliver from Australia, one of the four major competitions, went even further. I can't believe you would be so miserable in the Far East without a proper top ranker.

The line was unimaginable.

Immediately after the start, I was able to topple over at least a few times by winning a sub-game. Instead of two sets, the serve didn't work as soon as one set entered later.

I still did.

Paan!

Oliver gives the ball a toss as soon as the referee shows an impulse. He jumps up the coat slightly and swings the racket vigorously. The arm that flexed like a whip was impressive.

But he knew. This sub, which flew perfectly as it had been practiced, will return immediately.

On the other hand, Han Woo-jin moved his feet to Oliver's sub, which was 200 kilometers away. Even the stats I got a few times were a result of my work on agility. No matter how perfectly I predict it, if my body can't keep up, it's over.

Paan!

“Love Fifteen (0: 15)! ”

The ball hits the side line of Oliver, flying in a similar trajectory to the boomerang. Oliver, who was completely on the other side, was too far away to respond.

In the end, he scored without using his hands properly.

Once a game is streamed, there is almost no upside down. Especially if the difference in performance was obvious. Han Woo-jin also won three victories with okay grades.

[Skill Upgrade Progress: 42%]

It was not a bad progress. There are four games left in the upcoming gay challenge and two in the final. Filling the remaining 58% of the game with two matches seemed difficult, but the goal of filling 100% before the propaganda opening was achieved.

That was enough. Han Woo-jin was twice as strong as he was at the Mets Open.

* * *

In the semi-finals, which was rather easier than the 8th, Han Woo-jin made enormous progress of 20%. Almost every sub recorded an ace of service. He kicks his tongue at the opponent as he looks down at the coat with a completely frozen face.

Japan was also exhibiting similar symptoms as Korea. There was not enough to call it the Hungarian spirit, desperate angles or anything like that.

The opposing Pokémon can't even get enough support for Han Woojin. I could have won a few games if I had jumped with power and hit the foam without caring.

‘How pathetic.'

It would have been more convincing if it had been devastated by your lack of skills. In case the posture breaks down, is the player who can't run with power because he's unmotivated?

Hanwoojin is offended by the look of his opponent, Ishihara, who encountered him in the first turn. He reacquainted his progress and decided to return to his impaired mood.

“62% …”

More than half the figures made me feel better. Hanwoojin rolled his head to see the crowds starting to scatter after finishing the schedule in two matches.

The final was now a problem.

The final opponent is a Japanese ranker against the top 200, just as he expected. I didn't think I'd lose to him, but it was a completely different story of how easy it was to get an Ace of Service.

I was a little tired. ’

Although it was light compared to the burden posed by Sparrow, the burden of having to win the Service Ace was a kind of pressure. Even the air that would have been more resilient was usually beaten with excessive force. Han Woo-jin is starting to get cold feet.

I checked the condition by rubbing my right forearm.

First of all, it's not an injury. How good can you move around for an hour or two? However, the accumulated fatigue was not found by this promotion. I don't know when it's going to go off like a time bomb, but it's stress inflammation.

You hear a voice next to him, who was troubled by thoughts. It was Shin Se-yeon's voice who was avoiding speaking for a while because of the strange appearance of Han Woo-jin.

“You look very tired, are you okay? ”

“Tired?”

On second thought, I felt like it. Did he not know that he was secretly excited? Only after listening to her did Hanwoojin understand the heavy unpleasantness that remained in his body.

“… I think so. I'm a little tired.”

I've had a long career, but I've never made it through a season like this. Only the competition and the harsh schedule that led back to the competition were engraving damage on the mind as well as on the body.

It was worth it. I live every day just thinking about defeating my opponent.

Excitement or determination, emotion is ultimately consumable. Even the hatred of being so strong melts helplessly in the face of time, but it was difficult to keep the schedule while keeping the beginner's mind.

‘I need to rest after the Tokyo Open. ’

Hanwoojin rubbed a cold towel on his forehead and closed his eyelids. After tomorrow, propaganda openings, after successful completion, the Tokyo Open was waiting for you.

It was not time to stop.
