God of Tennis

In January, it was the earliest winter in Korea, but in Australia it was the hottest time of the year. If the humidity is lower than Korea and you can avoid the sun, you can enjoy the cool shade

Perhaps, but if there was no place to hide your body, it would soon turn into hell.

Still, Sydney was a slightly better place than others. It was because it was rare to taste Australian heat unless the average high temperature was just hot enough to stay around 26 degrees. Darwin or Adelaide

Compared to (Adelaide), he was good enough.

Is that why?

Without a single cloud, the clothes of the athletes who were running on their coats in the sun were only a little sweaty.

Paan!

The sound of the ball kicking away the heat resonates. The ball hit the racket coolly slits the wind and flies off to take a shot at the coat, bouncing right off the racket and then repeating the knock.

Bam, bam!

Two players were exchanging balls on a blue coat that was a little wobbly because of him. The more intense the rally between two athletes, with only a thin net between them. Every time you come and go, it speeds up and moves away from the opponent.

Here we go. Accelerating chicken races until either side falls behind.

Increasing the number of steps between each other, and the sweat drops on the clean face are excreted. No matter how strong the physiology of the body was, it was not how the physiology itself changed.

And if we maintain this tight sphere, both athletes will have to suffer losses. A player who loses points has to be prepared to spend their stamina, their scores, and their points poorly.

However, it might be a little different if we looked at the two faces alternately.

One is relaxed.

One was nervous.

‘… easier to breathe than I thought. Looks like your stamina has increased quite a bit as well. ’

Hanwoojin teased his feet and arms without rest while maintaining a unique expression. A coat that cannot be said to be narrow if you run in person, he runs without stopping for a moment. Breathing in the hot air makes me feel uncomfortable, but it's not okay to breathe.

There was nothing to give.

Beyond 50 is a good thing, even if it's a professional area. 60 is a line close to the wall of talent, and beyond that is a gradual way out of common sense. If 60 is the case, what is the level of 66?

“Phew.”

Basically, if you want to catch your breath with your nose, exhale with your mouth. Hanwoojin takes a big breath and looks at the busy opponent across the street.

Did you say Robert Hermits?

As a young Australian citizen, he shook hands with Han Woo-jin as soon as he climbed into his coat. Apparently, Robert had heard of him, who was also recently making a name for himself.

I was quite impressed with a smile on my face when I held hands without much thought. I also remembered that I was still lighter than a quarter inch tall.

‘I think I'm used to the weather or my coat... I'm too low on weight. It takes its own weight to sustain the game. ’

Robert, who was jumping with a crimson face, was at a glance exhausted no matter who saw him.

And Hanwoojin's cold eyes infer the reason for his lack of stamina. He was moving at a massive height of just 70 kg and his fuel ran out quickly. At least 80 kilograms if you own that size.

It would have been better to adjust the scale.

It was not a good thing that it was big and light. It's like rolling Lamborghini into a cup of gasoline. It was the same as the adage that if I tried to catch two rabbits at the same time, I couldn't take any of them properly.

Kick!

Eventually, the soles of his feet start to pull, and Robert's racket frame screams frantically. The ball that caught the tip of the ball lost its destination and floated into thin air.

“Ah!”

A high-pitched voice rises into the air with the ball, wondering if you were embarrassed yourself. Robert's waving eyes swirled down the ball to meet Hanwoojin's gaze. The opponent's eyes were filled with hopeless prayers, praying that he would make the same mistake.

However, Han Woo-jin couldn't kick the rolling bread like this, and the racket that was pulled out in full swing burst into flames like lightning.

Pa-ang!

A smash that has nothing to do with Robert's collapse in the first place. It pierces the weakness caused by the opponent's mistakes without mercy.

And in the same room, the game was over.

“Han Test Game! 64, 63! ”

The voice of the referee wakes up the crowd that was hovering in the heat. Looking at the reality, it was a game that Han Woo-jin led consistently, but it could be seen as a fairly tense battle in the eyes of strangers. They brought soda.

I put it down and fiercely whipped with sweaty palms.

Peek-a-boo...!

It was still unfamiliar to me. Hanwoojin waved his hand lightly toward the audience. It was because it was not the Oriental world, so it was a little awkward to bow. He was terrified of returning the applause to his audience.

When I saw the shadow approaching, I looked up.

The man in jewelry, a little less than 5 feet tall, was covering the warm sun.

“… Mr. Hermitz. ”

“It was a good match, Mr. Han! Rumor has it he didn't expect to back down against Roger! ”

“Oh, um... thank you. ”

Robert shakes his bandage, shaking Hanwoojin's hand with a wide face, whether it was just the one who lost just now.

Hanwoojin, who was weak in approaching me with such a tender attitude, took a step back and received a compliment. Maybe he wanted to get closer, but fortunately, Robert said a few words, said a few words, and then left the coat on a cool walk.

Gone.

“Whew, he was so cheerful. ”

Hanwoojin wiped off the sweaty drops on his forehead and transferred his back. The person who was big and tall came without feeling distant, but I even felt like the hot weather was getting stronger.

But for once, one round was a winner. It did not consume a lot of stamina, and I did not feel the need to use a slug as well as a Stinger that was consuming too much SP. When you were able to outrun Robert from the front with just pure basics.

It was a door.

‘Good thing it's out of season. All my deviant senses and skills began to fit into the rhythm. ’

Hanwoojin stared at the racket several times into the air and measured its strength. I felt a harmony of increased strength, increased stamina, and sensitivity. I can't say it's perfect yet, but every time I tap the ball, the anglers are getting beaten up.

It was.

It was truly a surprising income.

During the season out, Han Woo-jin did not complete any stroke training using the racket. All I cared about was the right combination of weight and oxygen to keep my body steady. But the relaxation that was close to neglect brought this income.

Sudden increase in power.

Sensitively fragmented reflexes.

Tough ligaments.

Flexible joint.

This rapid growth could not have happened with natural human physiology. So there was an imbalance in and out of the body, and it began to shake due to the accumulation of skills and tactics that had been meticulously trained like machines. Maybe Tokyo Open.

At the end of the day, that wave had reached its limit.

If Han Woo-jin had refused the advice of the former director and continued on his own… he was very likely to have destroyed his body without the minimum adaptation time to clean up the imbalance.

“The sooner we get back, the better. ”

Resting for two months, the body naturally adjusted the imbalance. The deviant senses were beaten through sleep and strength exercises, and the physicality of his strength was also able to change his perception through weight management exercises. Overstacked spirits

It is similar to digesting nutrients while sleeping.

As he climbed out of his coat and into the audience, a number of notifications knocked on his brain.

[ATP250 League for 1 spin accumulates experience for the skills you used to win.]

[Correction. There is a top league achievement. Reduces rewards.]

[The growth of the stat has reached its specialty...]

Hanwoojin turned off the notification in the status window reflectively. I also felt that the last thing I heard was a pretty strange notification, but I decided that I wouldn't be late even if I checked later.

“It's a victory. Good work, Woojin. ”

“Phew, I hope tomorrow will be just like today. ”

The wet towel wipes away the dried sweat. Hanwoojin, who stole his face several times with the towel that Shin Se-yeon gave him, dropped his butt on the shabby seat and took out the linen cap and hung it on his forehead. The humidity is low.

It was because it was guaranteed to be cool.

Han Woo-jin quickly regained his vitality after a brief drink of ice water. It was also due to the lack of power consumed in the game, and the stamina stats were so high that the recovery speed was well above the level of common sense.

“Se-yeon, can you show me the march? ”

“Oh, here. ”

Carefully coated A4 paper was caught in the palm of my hand. He looked forward to finding his name. Han Woo-jin's name was the sixth place behind him. To calculate the order of the matches, it was the third in the back.

However, his gaze was not on the ladder where his name was located. Han Woo-jin looked at the name of the player, who had surpassed exactly four people from his name.

Nafael Radal.

‘Radal... I never thought I'd see you in a place like this. ’

So was Andrew, so was Roger. The four most impressive players in the memory of a future that has now been erased. The encounter with Big 4 was always a sudden approach.

Hanwoojin also knew that he was leaving Claycourt to compete in that competition, but he did not expect to see his face at the start of the second season.

King of Clay.

It was Radar who was the absolute Claycott who couldn't even look over Roger. The only French open that wears a clay coat in Grand Slam was his front yard. Here he reigned with nine victories in his hands, and sometimes

It was unlikely that any other player would ever grab the cup, except if it had been dropped by accident.

Fortunately, Sydney International uses hard coats. Ladal was a mild hard-on among coats that were not clay coats.

‘There's nothing to be afraid of. I'm sure he's still struggling with his hard coat at this point. ’

Since 2013, he was able to win against Roger or Zokovich on the Hard Coat, but this was a time when only the strong side of Claycourt was highlighted. The reason for failing to win the tie was in 2006.

It's because I've been drinking water at the same time.

That doesn't mean it's okay to underestimate Radar. Those who belong to Big 4 are the top rankers left in the history of tennis, except Roger. Their rallies were full of things to see and learn from leaving their constituents or conditions.

‘This is my war. If you both win tomorrow, will you meet me at the 8th river? ’

I thought it would be okay to go early tomorrow and watch Radar's game. Han Woo-jin took a moment to consider tomorrow's schedule for the second round. It was because I wanted to check the status window that I hadn't checked before.

‘Status window.’

The first thing that came to mind was a few lines of sentences listing the rewards of winning the first round.

As always, I check that there is nothing to worry about by removing the 'blah blah blah’ written sentence in return for winning. Normally, he would check all the sentences until they disappeared, and then put the status window in one corner of the back brain.

But not today.

“Huh?"

A voice filled with curiosity leaked from Hanwoojin's mouth. He hesitates for a moment, then faces a line of sentences that comes to his mind. No matter how you look at it, the content of the notification has not changed.

[The growth of the stat has reached its specialty. You must select a stat to specialize in.]
