God of Tennis

Ka 'ang!

The scream of sharp metal echoes. Rogers' black racket, which was hit by the slug, flew out of the master's grasp and into the air. How many times did the polished, shiny frame part hit the top of the coat?

I bounced back to the base line with a low pitch.

The racket that picked up the ball flew away, and there was no doubt that the right reception had come out. The ball that floated into the air fell in a straight line without giving Roger a chance to pick up the racket again.

Barrels.

As soon as the ball dropped, the referee raised his voice and declared Hanwoojin's score.

“FourThree, test Han! ”

The sound of the judgment spreads through the cold silence. For a short while, the interior of the stadium was filled with silence. They do not understand what is unfolding before their eyes. Obviously, Han Woo-jin hit Smash.

I saw it until, but I couldn't understand the next development.

“Hey, you're flying a racket, right? ”

“I think I slipped... but Roger's not a player for that kind of mistake. ”

“Shouldn't flying racquets only come from cartoons? Is that really possible? ”

“I don't know, man. At least I've never seen a smash-and-grab racket before in my life. ”

The crowd grows louder and louder. Skills that cannot be understood bring excitement and awe. The fire burned while talking to my friends and family next door. There is only one reason to use exaggerated expression in games or cartoons.

Because it's fun!

And now, in front of you, that scene is happening in real time. Anyone who is interested in a word of tennis can learn without getting excited. Even one of the previous fights was the first breakpoint that occurred at the start of this match.

The first thing to crush the opponent's sub was not the world's most powerful emperor, but a newcomer of the unknown Orient.

The commentators who were waiting for the brakes were in a commotion. I had hoped to get it down, but I never thought I'd see such an impressive play! At the same time, a split voice came out of my mouth like a rice paddy during the drought.

4: 3! Hanwoojin, you are finally going to harden your victory by braking Roger's sub! I can't believe the emperor missed the racket, even if he hit it hard!

Maybe it's not just about power. There's a reason Roger got it wrong, or the angle on his wrist was bad. But for that reason, we won't be able to diminish the performance of our opponent!

Unlike an exhilarating crowd, the commentators' eyes were accurate. No matter how strong the ball is, I can't bounce off the racket holding it properly. A ball as heavy and solid as a baseball was too light and resilient.

And the principle of slugs is to confuse spots everywhere. It was the first of the hypotheses proposed by Shin Ki-chan. If there is one difference, is Roger not making a mistake, but it was done with Han Woojin's intentions.

Anyway, one room now meant a lot. Hanwoojin, who had started the tie brake with a sub-point, was clearly one step ahead. One set falls into his hands as long as he doesn't take any more adventures and only protects his sub-points. Definitely. Ooh.

I was able to occupy the top.

But what did he look like?

‘... Is that a real person? You reacted on the spot? ’

Hanwoojin's face was pale as if it didn't have blood in it. It also consumed some of his stamina, but the sights I just saw pressed him hard. Roger's reaction to the slug surpassed Han Woojin's prediction.

Seconds reflected!

With an intense smash in the racket's mesh, Roger loosens the grip of the racket he was holding firmly. With just a touch that was handed to him for a moment, he realized that this was an unacceptable ball.

With a loose grip on what may have been, the racket bounced off. The spectacular scene just before was the result of Roger's peculiar reflexes. It was never what Han Woo-jin expected.

That's more than I expected, Mr. Hahn. Fun, too. '

Roger turns his right wrist, recalling the peculiar weight conveyed through the racket. Thanks to the quick release, there is no damage at all. Of course, if I had taken it by force, it would have been hard on my wrists or fingers.

The winner frowns, but the loser smiles. This contradictory landscape no one understands but the two men on the coat.

“Point 8, Han to Serve Test! ”

However, Han Woo-jin lit another fire on his tired body. The sub-volume came back, and I was able to get one set if I just won 3 more points in the future. Even though there was a difference in stamina between Roger and me, it wasn't as big as a set. First of all, one set.

There was plenty of room to grab it.

‘It all goes to Stinger. ’

This game was over anyway. The ankle that had been consumed in the last match had already started to get sore, and I also told the director to abstain from the fourth round. Win or lose, today is the end of his first season. Whatever it takes, it's over.

It was human psychology that wanted to end with the result I liked.

If you want to defeat Roger, you have to win all the remaining sub-points. The slug a little while ago was just a lucky shot relying almost upon coincidence. I wasn't confident if I tried to succeed in my return. Even if you use all your SP,

I had to get a set from here.

Pa-ang!

Once again, the whole body was torn apart by a rubber rope-like serve. The bruised muscles and heart lungs screamed, but Hanwoojin did not show any discomfort. Physical pain can endure as much as you want. There must be more to fall down here.

Lucky or unfortunate, Roger doesn't move. He watched the flying ball as he watched the strange trajectory that Stinger was drawing. The racket also slightly lowered, noticing that it had no intention of returning from the beginning.

“FiveThree, test Han! ”

2 points forward.

In Hanwoojin's ears, there was not even a shout that was shaking the stadium. Only the opponent in front of you and the ball that fills the palm of your hand feel unique.

‘I watched without moving. Did you read anything? … No, Stinger is not that easy to break. ’

It calms the anxiety of the words that rise. Even if the opponent finds out something, Han Woo-jin doesn't have a choice. I had no choice but to battle because I believed Stinger, who had promised to score unconditionally. Even if you're the best in the world.

He believed that he would not be able to cope with the technology that went beyond common sense.

Hanwoojin's body twists again like a twist, and the racket throws up bullets at an invisible speed.

Pa-ang!

The first movement is straight. At a rate that no ordinary player would react, the serve crossed the net. In front of him was Roger, who jumped a few steps forward.

The scary thing about Stinger was that he couldn't read the trajectory anywhere. Suddenly, the ball that stretches out to the flat turns its head. Moreover, inertia even bounces like a dog.

In fact, the ball that Hanwoojin hit flew in front of him and as soon as he took a picture of his coat, it protruded to the right side of Roger. It was a ball that no one could explain how to spin and how that bounce came about.

I wondered if there was anyone who could show me the moves I had planned against this unconscious sub.

And today, Han Woo-jin was able to solve the question.

‘… What? ’

A world where time seems to slow down, creating excessive concentration. Roger is on the move in front of Han Woo-jin who's down there. As soon as Stinger slaps his coat on his head, he starts making fun of himself at a terrifying speed.

Despite everything slowing down, only Roger is operating normally!

The moment the ball slightly climbs over the waist, Roger quickly turns into a pohand. Although his specialty was one-handed, it did not mean that other skills were weak. Rather, Roger was the most perfect tennis player in history.

To this degree, balance was close to perfection.

Bam.

Drop shot.

Roger draws a light oblique line with his racket on the ball. After pulling out all the remaining power from the ball, he twisted it in reverse. The ball just pushes forward, floating into the air and over the net.

Barrels.

“FiveFour (5: 4), Test Han! ”

In front of Han Woo-jin, who built a half-empty laugh, Roger was always smiling cheerfully.

Speed compared to the flat at full power.

The trajectory changes as you go.

Bounds that cannot be read at all.

There was a man who had jumped three obstacles that were hard enough to overcome at the same time.

The best talent in the world was defeated.

* * *

“SixFive, Roger! ”

Han Woo-jin has been losing points ever since the Stinger was defeated. There was no ball to surpass Roger's return, and there was no way to cope when he grabbed the sub-point.

Moreover, Roger had been hit by a slug once and did not even show any sign of a robe, no matter how Han Woo-jin returned the ball.

Hanwoojin, it's a crisis! Only one point left! One more point and one set falls into Roger's hands. Because if you do that, you're more likely to get caught up in an experienced, physical or disadvantage.

Even so, Hanwoojin is showing a bit of a weakness. Compared to the early stages, the pace forward is much slower. If you give me a set here, the angle that will turn the plate upside down will disappear completely.

According to the commentators, Han Woo-jin couldn't win unless he got one set. Flipping each other's hands evenly does not diminish the skill difference. Rather, Han Woo-jin was getting more and more disadvantageous.

As the game continued, Roger found a way to deal with Han Woo-jin's play, but on the contrary, Han Woo-jin could not find a way to break it even if he watched Roger's play. This is not a talent of two players, but rather the skills

It was a gap from the difference.

And the person experiencing it more than anyone else was Han Woojin himself.

Is this how you lose? ’

There was no weight left in the ball. The user strikes the target with a punch, making it easy to use any move. After thinking that, I still could not throw the ball easily.

It was still not enough to buy me time. As soon as the referee tried to rush something, Han Woo-jin threw the ball up.

The stinger is already broken, and aiming for the ace with the other sub fails 100%. Then I had to watch the battle for the next rally, but the possibility of winning points against Roger was also obstructing.

Paan!

A dull serve, yet still fierce. Stamina consumption makes restraint drop and a precise trajectory falters. If you were Roger good, you'd have a shot at the Return Ace. Han Woo-jin thought that one set would end with this.

Until Roger gets the serve into an unusual robe.

Bam!

‘… Why? ’

Even though he thought so, Han Woo-jin moved. The body longed for victory on the subject of exhaustion. To once again chew the meat from the nostrils, the bent knees lift the body off the ground.

Slug.

Even Roger makes a racket drop, and it's dangerous enough to injure some of the players. It was a technique I had never used before because of its disadvantage that it could not be used if it didn't come over my head. Han Woo-jin looks for the bow with a reflective slug.

The racket reclaims its lost power and breathes fire.

Phew!

A delightful punch that seems to be about to kick the ball first. The ball falls to Roger at a terrifying speed. No matter how light and resilient the tennis ball was, it was a power that remained bloody.

But if I try to get it straight, I get overwhelmed by my wrists and fingers. A slug that changes subtly at the right moment is not a ball that can be obtained by sticking to the old way.

It worked!

Han Woo-jin smiled in the air as he saw the slug inserted properly. In case the reaction is delayed, Roger should not suffer a significant blow to the wrist on the receiving side. That would make the handicap worse than Han Woo-jin's ankle.

I could have carried it.

But it was too soon to be happy. Rather, Roger laughed and took a step back as he watched the ball fly towards him. It was the opposite movement from other athletes who had been hit by slugs.

Originally, it was best to accept the Smash falling towards you like that. You can drop the ball near the net before the opponent even reaches the pose, and a slap to the side leads straight to a score.

However, Slug was a horse's gear that had its teeth bent to aim for that kind of recipe. Roger understood its nature before Han Woo-jin, the user.

Huh?

Before the body jumped back to the ground, Han Woo-jin opened his eyes.

After Roger takes a step back, the slug scrambles straight to the ground and bounces back up at an incredible rate. It was a bounce that seemed to go over your head if you missed even a little time.

However, the opponent is the world's most famous emperor. He must be embarrassed by his speed.

Paan!

One-handed backhand. It was a room that gracefully kicked the bounds coming inside of the body.

“SevenFive, Roger! Set won by Roger Fedro, 76! ”

Han Woo-jin remained motionless until the moment the referee stood up and crossed his arms. No, I couldn't move. Two crystal spheres that have led him to victory so far have shattered the mountain for only one fighter.

“… Roger, Pedro. ”

The creature smiles on the other side of the net.

Just as he was enjoying his satiety immediately after devouring delicious food, Roger was smiling at Han Woojin.
