< Frostbite # 2 >

Even though Han Woojin and Choi Yeon-hyeok definitely stayed in the same city, nothing passed until the day the Brazilian Open began. The security is very bad because he stayed inside the hotel to make sure both of them were safe.

It was because I could not spare enough time to enjoy the tour.

In addition, São Paulo has a larger population than the city of Seoul, but the area was three times the size of the city. As long as my luck didn't run out on me, I was okay even if there was no place I wouldn't meet without an appointment.

‘There's nothing to talk about now anyway. ’

Han Woo-jin thought it was better. As long as it was clear that Choi Yeon-Hyuk was definitely losing his cool, it was counter-effective to look at his face for no reason.

Moreover, after going up to the 8th river, the march was drawn up to meet. Although it is a ragged history in many ways along with physical problems, it was not a skill that could not climb up to the 8th river in this place.

And now was not the time to worry about Choi Hyuk. Han Woo-jin stood up instead of looking at the race in front of him. Scores 63, 51. I thought I would win the next game or the next one.

Shin Se-yeon spoke next to Han Woo-jin, who was going to get up a little earlier and let go. She has been focused on the briefing since yesterday, whether her first clay court appeared unsettled.

“Woojin, do you remember everything I said yesterday? ”

“I won't forget the important thing. And you don't have to worry too much. ”

“Still · · ·. ”

The contest that Han Woo-jin has been in has all been hard-coated. Hardcoats had different materials, but there were no materials that were as dramatic as the difference between clays and hards.

In other words, Han Woo-jin had to meet the best enemies in the unfamiliar battlefield.

But he had his own beliefs.

Knock.

“Ahh · ·”

Just a week ago, just like Shin Se-yeon did, Han Woo-jin reached out for her forehead. I even hear a misconception of her white skin on his coarse fingerprints. A lot of it from the contact surface, not even a hundred won coin.

Silver has been preached. Shin Se-yeon, who was stabbed in the forehead, looked up at Han Woo-jin with her eyes wide open without any resistance.

Whatever he was about to say, he swallowed back the sound that came up out of his throat. It was because I knew that I would only wake up the atmosphere if I had to testify more here. So, Han Woo-jin said something else in a bold voice.

“Se-yeon, will you believe me? ”

Who would say no in a situation like this? Shin Se-yeon was still staring at him dazed. At the same time her finger falls from her brow, she quickly replies with a calm voice.

“No.”

“· · · Yes? ”

Even Hanwoojin's Pokerface shook slightly as if it were a ripple. I saw a lot of things that happened this time as well as my own, so I was stabbed somewhere. Seeing Han Woo-jin blindly, Shin Se-yeon was the usual calm Earl

You smile with a bright face as you collapse the cave.

“I believe you. ”

This time, it was time for Han Woo-jin to be struck by the reverse blow. He couldn't even look at his face for a moment, then sighed without me knowing.

It seemed like it was a long time ago that I took over my relationship with her.

About 30 minutes after that, Han Woo-jin knew his turn was coming back and was teasing his feet toward the red coat. As soon as he exits the waiting room, his eyebrows twitch slightly in the hot wind, but no further reaction is seen.

‘I feel a little better thanks to Se-yeon. ’

I can't help but smile when I think of the answer with her. Hanwoojin stood on his coat feeling refreshed, ignoring even the moisture sticking to his body. Not even the hot air, not even the high unpleasantness index, went up in the clouds.

We didn't have enough to ruin the mood.

Again, Hanwoojin stopped walking in front of the referee, feeling a subtly different texture from his hardcoat as the sole of his shoe. His opponent is standing right in front of him today.

Antonio Saretta.

He was a young Brazilian ranker, rising to the top 93 in the world rankings as he looked forward to the Claycourt Games.

"Let's see if your reputation precedes you. ’

Han Woo-jin is already holding the racket in his right hand. I was able to check the status window of all the players coming into view as soon as I was conscious. Even the people sitting in the audience could be caught watching, so he narrowed his eyes to Antonio.

Narrowed the field of view to include.

Antonio Sareta

Strength 58/HP 65/Agility 61

HP 2380/2600 SP 770/770

Forehand: 10/20

Backhand: 12/20

Sub-Level: 9/20

Bali Level: 14 of 20

Smash Level: 9/20

Dropshot Level: 13 of 20

Robe Level: 10/20

Special Skill: None

It was a fairly compliant ability. Hanwoojin raised Antonio's rating to a new level and opened his eyes; he had two more than 60 stats, and his skill level was clearly refined enough to show his style. Just a little bit of luck.

If I were Ra Joon, I would still be able to see the top 50 in the world ranking.

“Head or Tail? ”

Oops, looks like a new referee bounced a coin. Hanwoojin's reaction is a little late, and Antonio opens his mouth first.

“Tail."

Tail. In this way, Han Woo-jin naturally chose the Head. In the end, it's a matter of luck. It didn't matter who picked it first.

After the referee had confirmed both athletes' choices, he removed the palm of his hand that was covering the coin, and Antonio smiled remorsefully as he checked the coin.

The coin was passed on to Antonio in the back and the sub-books.

Antonio Saretta on my right! Testing Han on my left! Antonio to Serve! ”

The two players turn their backs and walk toward the edge of their coats.

The color of the coat always fills Hanwoojin's vision. The sight of a myriad of white lines running on the blazing floor felt foreign. The moment Han Woo-jin walked to the base line looking down at the ground, the referee thundered.

announced the start of the game.

Love All (0: 0)! Play! ”

Hanwoojin lowered to the signal. As Radar advised, you raise the center of gravity above the previous one by raising your lower back slightly than you did with your hardcoat. In a high-friction clay, it was easy to lose balance if you put on too much weight.

It was a gamble that would fail as Han Woojin, even if he had an ankle or perspective of Radar-level.

Paan!

Antonio slaps the serve, terrified of his posture. The racket swings hard enough to shoot the ball right in the center at a rapid rate. Confinement: 185 to plus or minus 5. Fairly compared to the level of sub-skills

Excellent serve.

‘Antonio has three main sub-styles: Fast flat, large curved drives, and · · ·’

The flying serve suddenly rolls off the air, head bowing. The spin you feed will alter the trajectory of the ball, which gradually reduces thrust. The name of this shit that starts falling rapidly from the moment it crosses the net, people are at the top.

It was named Topspin.

Bam!

“Fifteen Love (15: 0)! ”

The first sub recorded Antonio's point as the sub that fell near the net plunged significantly towards the side. It was a great room, combining Claycoat's features and topspin's strengths.

‘So you're familiar with Claycourt as well. ’

Han Woo-jin stopped not trying to move but secretly shrugged his head. The previous topspin was a ball that would have bounced low to the front rather than bouncing off the side if it had just been plugged into the hardcoat. Then it's hard for Han Woo-jin to run away.

I would have been able to return it without giving up the first point.

But Antonio has masterfully adjusted the trajectory of the Topspin sub. Overall, his ability as an athlete was two steps higher, but the geographical advantage of Claycott was filling the gap briefly.

The moment Han Woo-jin returned to his original position, Antonio's sub flew in succession. It was the doctor's statement that he would not give me any time to relax.

Pa-ang!

* * *

In fact, Antonio Saretta didn't like Han Woojin before the game started. The opening of Brazil this year was not so high that I was looking forward to winning the war, which was unquestionably announced by two Eastern rookies. Uh, either.

Either way, Antonio is a tough man to deal with.

It was also named side-by-side, as if the two guys who only participated in the hard-cote competition were weaving. So you can't feel bad about it. Antonio took a punch and sprayed it on the other side of the Oriental who didn't change his face.

I switched it up.

"Why are you trying to steal someone's bowl? ’

Of course, there was no concept of your land in the professional world. It was just a matter of feeling. The racket in Antonio's left hand replies to the owner's grip and gives an unpleasant friction sound.

But it's bad to feel bad, and reality is real. He didn't expect much from the game today. Han Woo-jin's hard-core video was enough to make him feel the level of difference. Not yet.

Antonio, who has never faced the same high ranker, deserves to lose his confidence.

However, I changed my mind when the first serve cooled down exactly as I wanted it to. The longing for victory, which had been half given up since before it began, grew.

‘Maybe Claycoat wasn't even there. Maybe · · · · isn't it worth it? ’

Antonio squeezes his open pupils and recalls the words he heard from the coach.

His sincere coach closely gathered information about the player, Han Woo-jin, and spent the night trying to come up with a plan. I tried to give up and listen, but my professional instincts don't forget the same possibilities.

Even the emperor is overturned in Napa 'el Radaldo Clay. Then what else can't you defeat that Asian? Antonio regains his dying confidence by hitting the second sub more vigorously.

Pa-ang!

“Thirty Love (30: 0)! ”

Sequential Service Aces. The idea of maybe winning was firmly established. I don't know about hard, but in Clay, he was top of the line. Antonio had a fierce smile on his South American cool necessities.

But why?

Huh?

Hanwoojin's expressionless face, visible from the edge of his gaze, suddenly lost its color as if it were dull.

Pa-ang!

Antonio's body smashes the third sub before it even notices. By the time I felt it, my body had already started to move. Antonio chases after the ball he punched, believing it to be an unfounded insecurity.

Then Han Woo-jin moved.

The body protrudes out of place with a dry voice, hurtling down the red coat.

Push your body away with your toes, rather than stepping big. In situations where heavy hits are being exchanged, this is how you tease your feet if you are in need of quick maneuvers.

‘Serve must have been subtle. It might have been a little difficult to get it from me two weeks ago. ’

Antonio's topspin serve was a technology optimized for Clay. Han Woo-jin, who had spent his entire professional career in hard-coats, was also a difficult ball to cope with there. Maybe they're called Claycott's expectations for nothing, Antonio's basics.

And it was flawless, too.

Yeah, that's about it.

"Napa, this is nothing compared to that monster! ’

Did he take his coat with his toes a few times? Hanwoojin arrives at the turning point of one of Antonio's new subs. It was time to stop and swing the racket.

[In my case, adjust the area of the sole of the foot touching the coat by narrowing or extending it. I think I slipped two steps more than half the time.

I've already learned how to brake. Hanwoojin laid his feet flat, as he had seen several times and replicated. The sole of your shoe screams awkwardly and horribly, frictioning against the sturdy clay coat.

Now!

Hanwoojin felt a sudden drop in acceleration. Assisted strokes, rotating to elbows or shoulders, as well as to hips and knees. The lack of braking at one moment was evidence that the center of gravity was completely restored. Class

Even the inertia caused by the braking is used as a means of accelerating the ball.

Pa-ang!

A one-handed backhand. The entire oblique muscle, which twists like a rope, sprays a powerful blow. The ball caught in the racket was 20 kilometers closer than when it flew back to Antonio's coat.

Of course, Antonio wouldn't be able to get that ball.

“Thirty Fifteen (30: 15)! ”

Hanwoojin's joyful return ace flipped Antonio's face in a single moment.

The End
