God of Tennis

Bam! Bam!

A cheerful ball resounds. In one corner of the fairly large gym, Han Woo-jin was punching the ball towards a flat wall with no one there. It was more like squash practice than tennis.

However, what was unusual was its speed and accuracy. I could not take my eyes off the people I had seen before. What Hanwoojin is doing right now has surpassed common sense.

“W-what's that? Why isn't that over? ”

“ It's not slowing down. Can you do that? ”

“Then I'd be running like a pro, idiot. ”

Several Chinese people who had come to use the gym gathered to watch Hanwoojin practice as they roared. It was just repetitive work, but it wasn't boring at all.

Instead of slowing down, it clears up the air perfectly, even if it returns to an unexpected trajectory. It wasn't even a squash. It was close to some acrobatics.

‘It's a well-hardened wall. The bounce is constant.'

However, it was not that difficult for Han Woo-jin. He reads the trajectory of the ball at a peculiar level among the pros. The wall that returns the ball as calculated is just an easy opponent.

If it was a wall that was roughly hardened and had a bumpy surface, it might have been a little rough. But like a well-equipped gym, the wall was not so dense. A 45-degree plug makes it protrude 45 degrees without a slight wobble. Dots against walls like this

It was impossible to pay.

So the rally does not break. Agility readings over the 60s pause for a moment, helping the body. I was able to get the ball that I would have missed before now. The development of the skills felt by the body has been very satisfying.

The feeling of encouragement lifted me up one or two levels. The user releases the ball at an ever-increasing rate in exchange for it being inserted violently.

Regardless of how fast it bounced off, I repeated what I was getting at exactly the right time, and the number of balls had already surpassed a hundred.

Even if I knew the trajectory, repeating the rally without a single mistake was also difficult. Only after finishing 200 battles by floating the ball through Drop Bali, did Hanwoojin take a short breath.

“Phew...”

The hot, boiling air leaves his lungs and leaks out of his body. The body that was working hard lost its heat as soon as the rally stopped. It was also because the air conditioner and ventilator were working hard on my job.

Then I heard a dry applause next to Han Woo-jin, who was wiping off the sweat drops on his forehead with the back of his hand.

Oh, man.

“Wow, 213 times. The last one was deliberately disconnected, right? It would have been great if you went out to the squash. ”

"… did you count them all?"

On the contrary to Han Woo-jin, Shin Se-yeon was truly impressed. It is difficult for a tennis player to make one mistake in over 200 rallies. It's not a man, it's a machine. It's a phosphorus that moves by senses, not by formulas.

Everyone's liver has room for mistakes.

However, the appearance of Han Woo-jin she saw was different. Perform a thorough head drawing and rally. Mechanical movement that is just loyal to it. That's why it's so efficient and scary sharp.

“It's still a meaningless exercise in the game. The opponent is not a wall. ”

He smiled bitterly and replied. It wasn't really humbling.

If you watch the battle by connecting the rally against the wall, how many players will win Han Woojin? But it was a small group of people, a bunch of living, moving variables. No matter how well you make predictions, errors are inevitable.

But she didn't back off easily. In Shin Se-yeon's view, Han Woo-jin tended to lower himself too strongly. It was because of a past that no one knew he had, but she wanted Han Woo-jin to be more confident.

“Woojin is doing well enough. Looks like he's back in good shape, and we can look forward to tomorrow's game. ”

Hanwoojin listens to her encouragement and squeezes his right hand, which was holding the racket. At the end of the gay challenge, his puffy forearms sank down. Resting muscles that were consumed while hitting excessive sub

It became.

‘Faster, too. I thought it would take at least two more days. ’

Moreover, the health readings in the status window were not just pure Stamina. The higher the number of stats representing health, the faster the player's HP recovery. And this is still a hypothesis, but the restoration of dysfunction from injuries, etc.

It looked like a fluke to me.

Hanwoojin

Strength 61/HP 62/Agility 62

HP 2480/2480 SP 730/730

‘62... This is high enough. ’

Compared to Max Müller, who had a ridiculous agility of 67, there was nothing unusual about his figure of 62, representing his stamina and agility. So far, one of the non-world rankers he's met, who has over 60 stats, is hands-on.

I wrote it down enough to be included in the lock.

It was hard not to feel inferiority in front of someone who was better than him. And the driving force behind Han Woo-jin's life is the inferiority and envy of others.

And it was never a negative emotion, but a kind of waxing consultation.

“Goodbye. I've had enough, and all I need to think about is tomorrow's game. ”

Never over-train during a tournament. There was nothing more foolish than practicing the power to use in this match. After a long experience, he knew it was the right line for his body.

The two of them immediately packed up their coats. A man familiar to Han Woo-jin's eyes who was about to leave his indoor tennis court was stepped on. It was Okuda Ryosuke, a unique posture that grabbed the top and bottom of the grip with both hands.

‘I knew you didn't look so good. ’

I had to. Did you know you were going to face a monster ranked 60th in the world from the second round? Victory was not only propaganda, but propaganda.

Okuda was beating two supporters from the Japanese Association, alternately hitting the ball from side to side. Reflection training to respond perfectly in any direction. I couldn't evolve my innate reflexes, but I learned repetitively.

It is possible to cause unconscious handling through.

Bam!

Intense two-hand.

The forehand double pops saturation, dropping the frame corresponding to the cannon. Okuda's complexion doesn't brighten after seeing the ball inserted with a loud noise.

Experience and physics are the backing of a finished style. His body is only twenty but incomplete. You are short on challenging the world rankers. Even with a good weapon, it is meaningless if the user is immature. Okuda Self

There was also a head to perceive that.

“… well, maybe it's time to worry about others. ”

Han Woo-jin looks away from him. Although not Max Muller, he was a participant in the ATP tour. You proved yourself that the difference between the number of stats and skill levels can be reversed. Carelessness has always been a taboo.

After all, a professional has to take matters into his own hands. He gazes at the exit with an indifferent gaze. Hanwoojin was there to see.

* * *

Hours after the propaganda launch began, Castor had finally finished broadcasting the matches of foreign players in a calm manner. And the commentators who gathered to talk about Han Woo-jin's match appeared on TV.

“I'll see you soon. This is Park Sung-jin, an open-and-show commentator, broadcasting on MBS Sports Channel. It's been a pleasure to say hello again so soon since the Seoul Open. ”

“It's true. I've filled the right spot again without hesitation. Shiny commentator.”

“I'm bringing you two to a good competition. Hello, I'm Cha Soo-hyun, the commentator. ”

Unfortunately, it was the same members who were awarded a commentator for the propaganda opening as described at the Seoul Open last time. They continued to talk like people who had already kissed their hands and feet. Forget the PDs I was watching you instruct.

It was admirable.

The commentary flowed around Park Sung-jin, the most prestigious position. It also involved two other people who were not familiar with China.

“There are many areas of concern for China at the propaganda opening. In the ATP250 league, it's hard to get a seed from the top 100 in the world or the top 200 in the world. ”

“Aha, the Chinese Association must have done some good. Japan's Shinyera Okuda Ryosuke has also confirmed her succession. ”

“China was a little warm too. As long as the contest is open all the time, the West takes the cup. ”

The strange pride of the Chinese and Chinese minds has already been widely known. The commentators talked about it briefly and turned their attention to the proposal presented by the host. Instead of looking for Han Woo-jin's name, they started discussing Max Muller's name.

I did.

“Ah, Max Müller has joined the fight! He was a well-known German fighter, I think. ”

“Yes, it is. Unlike gentlemen, he's known for his sensual movements. He reacts strangely quickly and is one of Bali's top athletes. ”

“You could say I'm the best candidate for the propaganda competition. Where's Han Woo-jin? ”

“Oh, I found it. ”

A milestone reflected in the Brown tube closed up one corner. It was where Han Woo-jin's name was written. Ujin Han, three letters of the first name and a few letters of the English alphabet. I felt proud of the commentators.

As soon as they confirmed Hanwoojin's name, they also highlighted the name of the player standing next to him. It was not surprising that it was the main game of broadcast today.

“… James Cooper. You're from the United States.”

“My career is my third year as a professional. ATP tours don't have a very good track record. ”

“The ranking is similar to the ranking of Hanwoojin. However, Han Woojin is more qualified than he actually ranks. I think it's okay to win. ”

Relay must be objective at all times. Of course, it was natural to illuminate and support Korean players, but no one should distort the clear balance. Park Ji Sung was definitely a great midfielder, but compared to Maradona

The soccer fans going to Korea must have been insulted too.

However, even from the perspective of such commentators, this Hanwoojin's advance was quite a victory.

The commentators who were stalling until the start of the match, chattering as they watched the screen change, shimmering. Even though it was a job that was all I had to say, it was hard to keep making up stories. A time when the topic of conversation is clear and over

It was no wonder I was glad to see the match.

And I said, "Oh, here we go. It's a pretty intense first game. Han Woo-jin didn't really know he was going to make it to five runs in his coat. ”

“I'd like to elaborate on all the matches if I could, but I don't think it's going to work until the rotation is more compacted. For now, please look forward to watching the game of Hanwoojin. ”

“Now, coin toss is underway. I think the game is about to start. ”

I saw Han Woo-jin passing the ball over the camera. It seemed to be Han Woo-jin who took the sub. He throws and catches the ball a few times and then walks to the end of his coat. Impressive focusing face with little nervousness

It was.

* * *

Han Woo-jin was recognizing his body as being raised with a calm face. The hot body does not move, but shivers like a volcano, waiting for the time to differentiate.

‘I'm not scared. ’

It was kind of an excitement.

The body that recalled the Mets Open was burning with determination, which had frustrated itself for the first time since returning. This time, my joints and muscles turned without thinking about it.

“Good.”

Hanwoojin looked up at the sky.

The clouds were moderately gathering to cover the warm sun. It was a moderate brightness that was not blurry, but not blurry.

Finally, he throws the ball up.

End
