God of Tennis

< Emperor of Clay # 2 >

After hearing Han Woo-jin's voice that I did not know, Radar was not surprised at all. He understood the feeling in front of his opponent so well, and was one of the few strong people who could not die even with the name 'Roger’ in his mouth.

Radar was just reading him through Han Woo-jin's reaction.

‘You don't seem to know it yet. ’

Two eyes slowly swam in the deep orbit of Radar. Like a fish in the deep sea, the relaxed iris read a lot from Han Woojin's expression. He slowly lowers his arm, which was clutching his chin.

“It's not that surprising. Roger, he's got a lot on his plate. So we had a little chat from time to time, and in the meantime, there was a little bit of Mr. Han's story. ”

It made sense. Han Woo-jin didn't nod his head, but he reasoned half-heartedly. As Radar just mentioned, the top rankers encounter at least a few times a year and dozens of times per day.

‘Not only Grand Slam, but the Masters (ATP1000) series right below it will overlap… at least 10 times to enter the same competition. Plus, if you say Radar, every time you meet Roger, there's nothing wrong with that. ’

Admired by all tennis players around the world, the Grand Slam is a total of four competitions. These contests, held at different times in four different countries in the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom and France, are now the rules of world tennis.

It had a huge impact on ATP ranking.

And it wasn't just because of the 2,000 ranking points awarded to the winners. As with any sport, ranking is quantified from the moment there is a path of elegance. ATP is also the best source of concern

You set a set of constraints on rankers who may be able to enter authority.

There are exactly two types of ATP ranking, commonly known as [ATP Entry System]. However, the aforementioned ‘constraints’ were more associated with settlement schemes other than [entry system].

‘You must have been hit a few times by an ATP championship race. By the way, have you recently opened a series of Masters? Maybe that's when we met. ’

[Champion Race], it was a vicious settlement system that reset all athletes' ranking points to zero with the start of the season.

At the end of the season, the highest scoring athlete was ranked # 1 in the world, and the athlete was only able to add up to the points he scored in only ‘18' of the tournaments that year. Regardless of the level or size of the competition,

It was possible to choose only the competition that I won and add more.

However, because of the only rule that followed, [Champion Race] has transformed into a colony of rankers. Thanks to this, ATP ranking gained credibility, and nobody can be compared to a no-good person who only collected points.

The provisions are as follows:

[Only those who are ranked high enough to participate in the Grand Slam (4) and Master Series (9) of the 18 competitions must be reflected in their scores. If you don't join, treat one of the 18 points as zero, and use the points from the other competitions.

It is not possible to substitute zero point treatment for the sugar competition.]

Simply put, it is impossible to earn points and climb the rankings while loosening the low level schedule. This clause requires top rankers to voluntarily compete with their own or greater strengths.

It was enough. It was literally a stretch of water behind the gladiators.

Especially if you're a top ranker like Roger or Radal. They are fundamental to almost all of the 13 competitions, and the Australian Open was the only way to find out. Four rankers in the top ten, of course, have declared their intentions to run for office.

1.

Nevertheless, I was curious. Han Woo-jin was anxious to hear even the conversation that Radal called "chitchat." He was also a tennis player, who was grave in the gaze or evaluation of others. Pay attention to the Emperor's assessment.

I was interested enough to hear about it.

But he quickly brought out another topic. It was an unpleasant topic for Han Woojin.

“I heard that there was a staff member at the association around evening yesterday. How did you do, Mr. Hahn? ”

“ … Mr. Radar. ”

Hanwoojin's face hardened. Words that don't say that they are certain of their innocence add weight to the rumors. If someone about Radar is in his mouth, the wavelength is not what he would have expected. A poker cafe that was hardened like a mask

Ishmael squeaks and shakes.

However, he looked embarrassed. It was a face that felt like this wasn't it. He hurriedly turns his right forearm upside down and puts it forward. Han Woo-jin was surprised at Radar's sudden actions for a moment.

I took my eyes off it personally.

Huh?

There was a slightly swollen spot on the bronzed skin that caught his eye, like a mosquito bite. As if I had recently gone through a needle....

“Radal, don't you? ”

“Well, it's familiar. Maybe he went with me when he came out to examine Mr. Hahn. I don't have a day or two to go on an unannounced test. ”

Radar scratches his back head with a shrugged face. It must have made him feel anxious to misunderstand him as he acted lightly. Han Woo-jin opened his mouth, loosening his face that had just become stiff.

“Phew, I just thought Mr. Radar thought I was doping. ”

“Oh, I didn't mean to. That's not going to happen. ”

“Hmm? ”

The expression was a little strange. What else do you mean, there's no problem? Hanwoojin looked at Radar with a curious face. Then he added the reason as if it was nothing.

“Roider is surprisingly flattering. The shape, the movement. In fact, the test also corroborates the symptoms, eight out of ten people at the time of the original suspicion. ”

“One or two of us? ”

“Haha! That's the way it goes again. That's not wrong. But that's not the only reason I said that. ”

“Then? ”

Han Woo-jin, who was genuinely curious, immediately said hello. It was a quick question I realized after I talked to myself. However, he returned the answer as quickly as he had anticipated the question.

“There's no way Roger would be interested in such a dull human being. Besides, I'm starting to get interested in Mr. Hahn. ”

“ I don't know myself, is there a reason? I don't think I'm funny. ”

Even though it was self-serving, Han Woo-jin was serious. His observations were not only directed at others. He was also very good at considering himself.

He was clearly aware of his inferiority, the lack of talent, and the lack of socialization that arose from the timing of falsehood. That's why he could not have thought that there would be an element of interest to the geniuses.

“I don't know if it's a coincidence, but it's just like Roger said. Perhaps this is Mr. Han's charm. ”

“What the…"

“" Radal! What are you doing in there? ”

Suddenly, you hear a loud shout. Unlike Han Woo-jin, who was furious, he suddenly woke up on his feet with a drop of cold sweat. Looks like that blond man calling him from the square is pretty scary.

Radar asked me to shake his hand while tapping the racquetbag he was hanging from his left index finger.

“Oh dear, I should go now. Let's finish the story, Mr. Hahn. ”

“F-sure. I'll see you soon anyway. ”

“A short farewell. Of course!"

He runs like the wind, despite his enormous size, and disappears into the distance. Han Woo-jin realized that the shade of the umbrella had shifted in time. He seems to have been more focused on talking to Radar than he thought.

Hanwoojin now looks at Radar's back, which is almost invisible, and mutters in a voice.

“Looks like there's been a storm. ”

It wasn't. It was. Napali Radar, who I met in person, was a strong man, whether on his coat or outside.

Duff, a blonde man with deep pressure on his half-eyed glasses, fires a rapid fire at Radar approaching. It was a little different from scolding a player who acted spontaneously. They began to talk as if they were exchanging something.

“What do you know, seeing him in person? I heard you can't feel anything just by looking at your profile. ”

Duff's voice is strangely agitated. It was Radar who had never said "I don't know" in his video or data until now.

But you don't think there's a single Dark Horse in Korea that can't be beat? The one who greeted Roger and said he'd eaten, but he had a hunch? Even if he's not Claycourt, he's not the kind of guy you'd feel numb to.

There was a reason why Duff, rationalist and principalist, allowed Radar to meet Han Woo-jin just before the game.

However, the answer that was different from what I expected came back. Radar shakes his head, palms facing the sky, with a soft face. It was a gesture where anyone could see what it meant.

“No, I have no idea. ”

“Then why did you go to see him?! ”

“Whoa, don't get so hot. Isn't it even weirder for me to find out that Roger said he didn't know? ”

“ What? Roger? Hey, what are you saying..."

Duff's ears start to murmur, saying he didn't hear it, but Radar's ears, trained in his normal life, naturally flow from one side to the other. He ignored the commotion on the outside and met him just now.

I remembered the Asian athlete who was doing it.

‘Mr. Han, he was definitely a strange fighter. ’

Most athletes have an atmosphere that suits their style and skill. With the emperor's peculiarity of pressure and overwhelming breathlessness, Roddick was wielding a cheerful yet powerful wind like a riverboat batsman. So far, Radar's keen sense of smell is the river.

I was not lacking in recognizing their worth.

But today there was no harvest at all. The player named Han Woo-jin didn't smell anything. Its see-through eyes were amazing, but little felt like plastic with a metallic texture.

Maybe there is a word for "fear."

It was the same word. Ordinary players were naturally afraid or anxious. If you look inside, empty air welcomes you. There's no floor for the unsub to look over. In a sense, it was an unrivaled personality.

But genius has always been synonymous with monsters. In their case, the abnormalities were definitely gradual. Just like Roger before, even a genius named Radar was attracted to the "strange" existence of Han Woojin.

Boss.

You hear a cheerful bone coming from a fist you didn't even know was there. Radar notices that the usual rush of energy circulates at a speed greater than that. A phenomenon in which a heightened mind engages the body to produce synergies.

It was the best condition.

The End
