God of Tennis

When you increase your concentration, your senses lengthen. You can feel nerves accelerating for as long as one second to two seconds, or three seconds. Familiar with volleyball sports, where the movement of the moment determines victory or defeat.

It was angled.

It was the same feeling that Han Woo-jin was feeling right now. He gives a glance at James Cooper as he begins to move across the net between the seconds he tosses the ball.

Robe Level: 11/20

Special Skill: None

‘I am a technologist.’

Hanwoojin was thinking that from the first moment he saw James' status window on his coat.

Dropshots and robes were among the most difficult skills used in tennis. Unlike other techniques where hitting with force is common, it was based on deflection and required a higher difficulty to adjust the point of impact.

But James was at the highest level of those skills. Even Han Woo-jin was the first athlete to deflect the skill level in this way. Moreover, when the two technologies are used in combination, they become incredibly challenging.

Dropshots drop right in front of the net.

A robe aimed at the base line.

Equally implemented in the principle of de-escalation, the range is exactly the opposite: a two-thirds chance to be an archetype who deviates from his prediction, gambling points on a bet.

If you drag the rally long enough, the game becomes the stage for the Christians. Han Woo-jin was familiar with it through experience. And he knew what kind of archenemy the best fighters were. It was a very simple story.

Paan!

Flat, the fastest in the sub. The higher the strength, the higher the sub skill level, the faster and more precise the user is.

Strength reading over 60 and sub skills of level 14.

Han Woo-jin's sub, holding them all in one body, suddenly broke through 210 kilometers per hour.

“Fifteen Love (15: 0)! ”

An uproaring playground was engulfed in a quiet atmosphere.

And the text 212 km/h appeared silently on the screen of the measuring device that was installed in one corner of the coat. The first sub of Han Woo-jin was the moment he lost his best record. Even the commentators kept their mouths shut for a while.

The first person to reclaim his voice was also Park Sung-jin, the longest experienced commentator.

Two, 212 kilometers! Hanwoojin, we beat the speed of the sub we've ever recorded! It's not easy to get over 200 per hour under those conditions, which is amazing.

The other two commentators were also rushed into words. If I let my tongue rest in front of this scene, the commentator did not qualify as a sports journalist.

That's right, and frankly, it's 230, 240 hours in the world record, because 210 is never easy. Among the Asian rankers who are currently playing in the ranking world, you can count them within five fingers.

And Hanwoojin is not only good at flat serve. It's already been proven in a few matches that you can drive or top spin. However, I'm worried that my body will get hurt when I hit the sub too hard under adverse body conditions.

In their own way, they were all commentators with arguments. The worry added to the end of Cha Soo-hyun was also reasonable. Normally, a high speed sub over 200 hours of body weight was a tremendous burden.

However, the exception was Han Woo-jin.

The body that had to be made of myriad training and innate nature, through the aid of the system, was also somewhat pushing the limits of the profession. As strength and stamina crossed the 60th wall, Hanwoojin lost all of his weaknesses except Rich in the physical sense.

It was.

‘The technologists are weak in one blow. ’

Speed, or power. If not, one technique has reached an overwhelming level.

It was a fundamental weakness of the technologists who essentially used difficult techniques to shake and stab their opponents.

There's no room for psychological warfare if you win a Service Ace at a terrifying speed from the start. If you have a ball so difficult that you can't connect the rally, you should only rush to get it.

And now, Han Woo-jin, who is over 210 kilometers an hour, is lightly over James' physical. His face became pale with natural contexts. It was because I had a hunch that it wasn't a ball that I could get.

Before the referee called out separately, Han Woo-jin tossed the ball again. The opposing Pokémon doesn't need to give the opposing Pokémon a moment to familiarize themselves with the ball.

Paan!

Again, the speed dial. The first 212 kilometers was a result of drawing all the power that was present. Hanwoojin, who couldn't find a reason to keep sub confinement at full power, slowed down slightly. Of course, it was a high-speed sub that was going over 200 hours.

“Thirty Love (30: 0)! ”

Since then, the development has not been rough.

Hanwoojin's sub has been playing around with James Cooper's reflexes indefinitely, and since the first game, facing over 200 sub speeds, he has lost all four points of the first game without any hand.

“Han Test Game! ”

Only after hearing the voice of judgment did James' face crumple.

It was an absurdly eaten room.

Shit!

However, James' determination did not falter a bit. Rather, he was trying to repay me. One punch from a shallow Asian tennis player scratched his pride that had grown beyond his skill.

“Game 2, James Serving Play! ”

After handing over the ball, James twists his wrist at an odd angle. It was so fine that it was invisible to Han Woo-jin who was far away. Soon, the ball pops out of James' hand.

Bam!

It was different from the sharp rupture that Han Woo-jin threw out. It was an anomalous sub unique to the technological waves, which differed in trajectory from the high-speed sub focused on speed.

"Oops."

Unlike the fighters I've dealt with so far. A strangely curved drive sub plugged in all of Hanwoojin's predictions. The ball fell into the corner of the service coat.

“Fifteen Love (15: 0)! ”

It is also a annoying style.

With that in mind, Han Woo-jin lifts his hand and wipes off the sweat that began to build up on his nose. As long as you have a physical weakness, I thought it would be okay to look straight at the return… but it seemed a little shallow.

Hanwoojin raised James Cooper's rating to the next level. Then, I unwrapped the pose I had for the return and narrowed my eyes.

Bam!

A bizarre spinning drive that I don't know where to scatter. Maybe that's the secret to James' serve just before he tosses the ball. However, there was not enough information. Han Woo-jin's eyes have yet to reveal the trajectory of the sub.

James' second sub also punched the left service coat, drawing an unexpected curve.

“Thirty Love (30: 0)! ”

It was like the opposite of the first game. Although it was said to be for observation, Hanwoojin showed little movement, only commentators who were talking with the viewers who were watching got on board.

Ah, Han Woo-jin. Loosen up and just watch James' serve. I think I'm just going to give you the game.

It's not a bad way to wait for your opponent's serve to get noticed. It's a bit of a pity that we didn't maintain the upper hand in the first game.

James, toss the ball again. It doesn't seem like he's going to give you any time to think about it.

Almost as the commentators finish speaking, James' racket ignites again. Sound was also colored compared to Han Woojin's sub, but as a result, if you can win points, looks are not an important element.

Not yet. We can't hit it yet. Hanwoojin said he wanted to move, suppressing his trembling body and observing James' drive sub until the end.

Forty Love (40: 0)! ”

The referee unconsciously rebuilt James' Ace of Service. The first game and the flow of points without any error. Han Woo-jin rubs his eyes once as he starts to get warm without blinking. I let go of the eyes that had tears coming out of them.

‘Let's do it.’

It is hard to fully understand just by looking at it. It's time to take on the consumption of stamina and throw yourself down to analyze the opponent's sub. Han Woo-jin leaned forward, placing his weight on both thighs.

Noticing the change, James bites his molar tightly.

You already believe you can fight your own serve? A Korean kid who's been here less than a year?

He thought the reason why Han Woo-jin's ranking rose was because he was a low-level country athlete. He truly believed that if he worked in Asia, he would have been ranked in the top 100 in the world ranking.

Of course, there were advantages to working in low-level areas. Easier, because you can hunt points against weaker players than yourself.

But let's think.

Hanwoojin is a player who has accumulated points in such a sly way?

Bam!

Still, James put more spins on the idea than the previous balls. If the drives he had flown so far had been cleared from the line of common sense, this work was as close to the special machine as it could be.

However, he makes his move. Hanwoojin calculates the ball's trajectory, reducing the error as much as possible. The degree of twist exceeds the expected level, but it is already too late to stop.

Tongue!

The ball caught in the frame, not the net, soared high. James looks rough, but luckily, the ball that comes to Han Woojin is far away from his coat. When the ball knocked outside his coat, the referee crossed his arms and announced the end of the second game.

“Game James! ”

literal daylight savings.

However, the last point of Han Woo-jin was meaningful.

James' serve is no farther than he thought. It was only a few steps away.

“Test Han Serving Play! ”

A tennis ball with a strong grip twists it. When Hanwoojin grabs the ball, James fixes his face. There was still no way to cope with Han Woojin's river lane. The Ace of Service in two games was only a one-game redemption.

“Fuck…”

After a crisis from the first turn, James chewed his lips lightly. It was unpleasant.

* * *

When the sub-game returns to Han Woo-jin's turn, the annotators, who were briefly unhappy, light their mouths again. After all, the relay of propaganda openings was only a highlight for Han Woo-jin, a sub-game that revealed his true worth.

On the other hand, Hanwoojin also pressed James with overwhelming subplay in the next three games.

Paan!

Thirty Love (30: 0)!

“Yes, this is it! Han Woojin, make two consecutive Aces of Service! ”

“James has no hands, no feet. You don't get used to the sub very often. Maybe for a while we'll be able to win sub-games okay. ”

“But here's the weird thing. Do you know what Yun commentary is? ”

The commentators who praised Han Woo-jin because they were excited changed the context of the conversation with a word from Park Sung-jin. I couldn't really figure out what was wrong with Shiny, so I reflexively asked.

“I'm not sure. I'm sure you're curious, but I don't want you to get too carried away. Haha.”

I was four years old. Park Sung-jin crooked his chin above the arm on the desk and put a question in his mouth.

“The peculiar serve Han Woo-jin has been using since the Seoul Open. Do we still have time for that? ”

“Ah!”

Two commentators shouted at the same time. As Park Sungjin's commentator said, Han Woo-jin did not show that strangely broken sub. Why?

It was an unknown story for those who did not know.

Han Test Game!

While they paused, the winner of three games was decided.

Hanwoojin, who recorded two Aces of Service, took a light breath and loosened his stiff neck muscles. I didn't like handing the points over.

"Shall we?"

I got a rough feeling.

End
