God of Tennis

“Game 1! Victor Serving Play! ”

The referee declared the start of the match with a closer pronunciation than Viktor. From the moment the voice came out, Hanwoojin lowered his posture and took all the preparations. As long as you know that your opponent is an owner of a skill separate from your rank, you can relax.

I couldn't do it.

"Shit, are you too relaxed? A player with this level of skill is ranked in the top 200. There are variables. ’

Han Woo-jin changed his inner teeth. Honestly, it was worth it. He thought today's game would be okay. It was because Hanwoojin was in the 200th place and had a lot of stamina and elements that would have been spent coming up from qualifying.

And what the hell is this?

Upon encounter, Viktor did not feel any preliminary fatigue, but rather stopped him armed with stats and skills that surpassed expectations.

During the chaos of Hanwoojin, who was weak in the unexpected situation, Viktor finished the sub preparations and threw the ball up.

Bam!

The ball remains steady and aims for Hanwoojin's service coat in a straight line. The speed exceeded 180 kilometers, and the trajectory also took a close right side. It could have been a disadvantage if they decided to call it a quickie out.

However, even when I was embarrassed, my skills did not deteriorate. Han Woo-jin reads Viktor's sub perfectly and steps forward. As his right foot enters the service coat, a tense right arm swings the racket.

Paan!

Powerful return.

The ball he strikes goes back faster than the speed he flew.

And Victor gets it back.

Both Hanwoojin and Viktor seem to have a particular ability to read the opponent's movements.

What the hell is going on? Viktor is facing Hanwoojin without a step back! Are you sure that player is the lowest ranker at the Tokyo Open, Yoon commentary?

Yes, I'm sure. Victor Craig was a very slow ranker. I could tell by the record that I was earnestly stacking points.

No, but the other story is that you're good at fighting Han Woojin. Even if I made it to the mainland, I'm still an anonymous player after my debut in three years!

The commentators were excited to see the first game, the first rally, and the unprecedented battle. Viktor's ranking was divided into those who confirm and evaluate him, and those who question his skills. And when they do,

During the night, the rally on the coat ends close.

Paan!

“Fifteen Love (15: 0)! ”

Smash falls quicker than Hanwoojin's feet and determines Viktor's point. Both players were expressing their absurdity. I can't believe how violent it's been since the first rally. If someone who didn't know what was going on saw it, even a tie break.

I would have thought you were caught.

"Dangerous. I love the moves. ’

No more than a handful of technologically advanced players, with 10 years of experience and even system calibrated skills, were rare. However, Han Woo-jin did not straighten out his stiff face. That's not what Victor was good at.

Just because you are physically strong is not a good thing. If the force is not adjusted well, the outside will be greasy, and if the feet are fast, the racket will not be adjusted. It was the same for all the drivers who could not control the sports car.

But Victor wasn't very good at it. It was absolutely perfect, showing no waste whatsoever.

Although the stat is a little off compared to Hanwoojin, his body handling skills have greatly surpassed him. Every time I give or receive a ball, a little less time, just hides the previous battle.

Ah, Victor takes the vantage point. Even though it's a sub-game, if you pull a rally like this and take points, it's a bit of a hit. It's going to be a tough game.

Still, it's hard to see the difference in skills. Maybe if it wasn't for the sub-game, Han Woojin would have won.

After all, it doesn't seem easy to break Viktor's sub-game. Don't panic and lead the game calmly, Hanwoojin!

The opinion of the commentators was different. According to their views, Hanwoojin and Viktor's cars were never big. Rather, it was too fine to observe. Depending on who started the rally with the sub, the odds were off.

However, even one paper difference tilts the balance.

A battle is like a delicate scale that is easily shaken by the weight of a single grain of sand.

Paan!

“Thirty Love (30: 0)! ”

The second rally that followed also won a point for Victor. The first thing that creates a loophole is giving and receiving the ball tightly. Serra takes a strong punch and starts a fight against him.

‘I need a trigger to turn this board upside down... I don't see it yet. ’

Hanwoojin sunk his eyes deeply, looking at the disadvantage point of 30: 0.

He had no experience encountering Viktor level players in the past. However, I have fought the opponent of such a fine difference. The current Han Woo-jin is worth the effort, but in the end the game is comparing the performance of two players relative to each other.

There were no problems with the reference.

Just as the elements of the sub-sphere are deciding the victories of the fierce rally, even if the opponent holds the sub-sphere, it still requires elements that could benefit this side. We haven't found anything yet since the game started, but with Han Woojin's analytical abilities, time can solve it.

It was also a matter of line.

Hang in there for now.

Looking at Viktor's sub flying again, Hanwoojin stretches out his racket. It was a more advantageous option in the long run, rather than being aggressively beaten, by saving strength and pulling the rally.

The target remains vulnerable for a short period of time until it passes through the subcontract.

* * *

Paan!

With a sharp sound, the ball slaps the blue coat without cause. The sound of a balloon exploding meant the end of the rally. The referee declared a score only after he saw the protruding ball fly away.

“Han Test Game! 55, Deuce! ”

Whoa!

There was a cheer that did not fit in the tennis court. A fierce duel between two athletes who never missed out on their sub-game was the excitement of the audience.

55, as the score reached Deuce in a snap, the tension rose even more, rather than sinking.

“Isn't this more fun than I thought? I'm glad you came out to see me. ”

A man smiles, looking down at his coat. A man with bright brown hair held out a well-trained forearm outside the sleeve of a short-sleeved shirt. The blood vessels and muscle contours all over the place are unusual.

There was.

And there was a black man standing right behind him, staring at the man watching the game with a shivering look on his face.

“Roger, wouldn't it be better to rest in the waiting room? I don't think it's a good idea to be too relaxed. ”

The trainer, Hudson, said in a worrying tone as he watched Roger fall into a match next to him.

Even Roger Pedro, who was ranked # 1 in the world and guarding the floating seat, did not confirm victory in every match. When the Pokémon is in a bad state, or when the Pokémon loses or struggles depending on who the Pokémon is. The defeat is a domain granted to humans.

It wasn't.

But no one could deny that Roger was the best in the world. That's why Hudson's voice was naturally exhausted. I could be persuasive about the weak voice I felt.

“Never mind. I'm in the best shape. I'm going to get a little sore in my room anyway, but it's better to wait while I watch the game. ”

Roger reaffirmed with a cheerful smile. He looks down at the two fighters who have not lost their ferocity even as they enter the dues. An interesting look crosses Viktor and Hanwoojin.

“Well, which do you think is stronger than the other two? ”

“Hmmm... If I had to choose, I'd be Mr. Han. ”

“Why?”

I didn't ask because I didn't know. Roger was asking why. Hudson ponders for a moment and answers. He was a trainer who managed the best athletes in the world, and he had to be low sighted.

“He was superior to Viktor in terms of speed of growth, level of players he had dealt with, restraint and finesse of the sub. Maybe we have a long way to go to grow up. ”

He climbed from the side of tennis to the Tokyo Open in just half a year. Next year, or just next year, I might have a lot to do with Roger. Hudson's intuition as a trainer has been changing for over a decade.

But Roger didn't answer straight away. He opens his mouth, looking at Viktor, who won the sub-game again with a strange smile.

“Personally, I didn't want Viktor's side to fight any more. I don't think you're right for me. ”

“… is that all? ”

Hudson was surprised and asked.

Roger was as confident as he was. It wasn't arrogance or arrogance, but there was no doubt about your skills. I don't want to deal with him, which means he's a winning and losing opponent.

Roger nods.

“It's kind of a straight poke when you see a gap in a well-balanced subject. Rally may not be the same as Radar, but he's a worthy opponent, Victor Craig. ”

“Does that mean Mr. Han will lose? ”

“Well, that's another story. Just because you're strong for me doesn't mean you're strong for anyone else. ”

It followed a bold explanation. Although Hudson is an outstanding trainer, one opponent is the "emperor" of his peak tennis history. Discussing his thoughts and insights with him was like wrinkling in front of a pupa.

“Did you say Mr. Han? He's more of a pro and cons type than a sub. Viktor and I don't have a crystal ball. That's why you get hit so hard. ”

“Then it's unclear who will win. Which one will be the first to make a mistake? ”

“Maybe, or...”

Roger's eyes widen. He looks at Viktor and Hanwoojin alternately and glances at their movements. He observed how to tease his feet, how to look at them, and even what position he was holding the racket. He mutters in a loud voice.

“You'd better take the first step. ”

* * *

‘It's damn hard. I can't believe I dragged you all the way to Duce, but I can't see a damn thing. ’

Victor Craig, a player similar to himself but with a different style. He had a talent that was different from Han Woo-jin, who had evolved on his back with the ability to be a system. You can run so hard, you can balance so thoroughly, you can get the ball.

I was impressed.

The score was 56. Han Woo-jin pushed ahead of the sub-sphere, somehow gaining points and defeating nervousness. Even if you beat this game, 66, you will get into a struggle with your physical strength.

‘The difference between a stamina stat is only 1, but the opponent's movements are more efficient. You'll need to win a set...! ’

Paan!

Smash by Han Woojin slapped his coat, and the referee declared the score by raising his voice. Despite his unnoticed restlessness, his ball struck the sideline with perfect trajectory.

“Forty Fifteen (40: 15)! ”

With almost confirmed entry into the Tybreak, Han Woo-jin opens his status window, thinking about taking a breath for a moment. It was also to check the strength of the forceps.

Hanwoojin

Strength 63/HP 64/Agility 63

HP 1410/2560 SP 580/780

Forehand: 14 of 20

Backhand: 9/20

Sub-Level: 15/20

Bali Level: 9/20

Smash Level: 11/20

Drop Shot Level: 10 of 20

Robe Level: 10/20

Special Skills: Stinger (Sub/2nd level), Slug (Smash)

It is consuming.

Hanwoojin collected glances lightly. It consumed a lot of stamina, but there were also five Stingers that were used to subdue the sub. The stinger breathes back into the opposing Pokémon. As a result, it was positive minus zero.

‘There must be something we can do. ’

The ball came back to me. Looking at the toasted ball for Serve, Han Woo-jin remembered the thought several times. Even the smallest thing was fine. I needed something to finish this stuffy chicken race.

Paan!

Viktor doesn't move. He thought he would save his strength if he got into the Tiebreaks anyway. Hanwoojin's sub is plugged into the center of an empty service coat.

“Han Test Game! 66! ”

Waaaahhhh!

There was more screaming than Deuce. Tybreak is because athletes dry blood, but it was an interesting examination match for the watchers. Viktor smiles bitterly and looks at Hanwoojin, who is suffering the same as himself.

“… Hmm? ”

Then he made a curious face.

Koreans who were hanging at the edge of his gaze were also looking at him. But I felt like my gaze was floating.

Viktor's feelings were accurate. Hanwoojin does not see Viktor Craig. What he was looking at was a message in the status window that came up with the game he just won. Just a few lines of sentences, it caused Han Woo-jin to laugh in his mouth.

[Level up Forehand by 1.]

[Forhand's level has reached 15. From now on, every stroke in the forehand style is calibrated.]

The End
