God of Tennis

Hanwoojin made it through the first lap on a strange stage called Clay, and immediately after the next day he took two. The Brazilian Open was followed by a fast-paced tempo, and he was assigned a rookie who had been up against Han Woojin since preliminary times. Par

Pablo Portas was a newcomer from Spain.

Of course, even if they did not see the statue they were going to meet, they would know.

Pa-ang!

The ball flew at a terrifying speed and hit the side line of the curved court like a baseball curve. It was a drive that couldn't be thrown if it didn't spin. Until the bounce bounces back down, Pablo is just...

I couldn't move three steps.

“Forty Fifteen (40: 15)! Test Han Match Point! ”

The referee unconditionally declared Pablo's point, and the next few words taught him that the game had reached the end: 6-1 and 2-set scores were 6 to 0, which was an unbelievable beating for Hanwoojin.

Is it because you met Antonio first? It's easier to win than I thought. ’

Hanwoojin was able to intuit his victory 10 minutes after the beginning of the second round, and he was forced to take his assessment of Antonio, whom he defeated yesterday, to the next level.

Antonio Sareta was currently ranked 90th in the world ranking, and even 50th in his potential. Originally, it wouldn't be strange if I became the winner of the Brazilian Open. Maybe Han Woo-jin caused the historian bar

I never would have done it if it hadn't happened.

Well, that's a story you don't know even if you want to know. It wasn't until Han Woo-jin faced that fact with another player that he realized. Pablo was too weak to compare with Antonio.

Of course, Pablo Portas wasn't such a bad player. Rather, he was better than the average newcomer he had just debuted from. It's just that Antonio and Hanwoojin's capabilities and levels were not comparable to Pablo's.

“Match Point, Han to Serve Test! ”

Han Woo-jin's thoughts, which were flowing at a tremendous speed, were cut off by the voice of the Judge who had been heard nearby. He shakes his head a few times and clears his mind with the sweat on his hair.

‘Let's finish the game first. ’

The batter, as I recited it in my mind, his whole body swells up tightly.

[Strength stats increase by 3 for 1 stroke.]

[You have applied to the sub. Increases restraint on sub.]

[One second of stiffness will be applied immediately after stroke.]

It even triggers the characteristic to clearly see the end. I would have had no problem winning points without using them, but I didn't have to wait any longer here. The ball that left Hanwoojin's palm floated in the air, followed by the strongly twisted

The racket breaks the wind with the sound of saliva.

Pa-ang!

[Overwhelming Play! Skills used to win 2 rounds in the ATP250 League will be awarded XP.]

[That achievement already exists. A portion of the acquisition EXP is deducted.]

“Even though the stat has not risen, · · · you have returned to full health. Looks like the odds are pretty good. ”

The status window was no different from that shortly after the first turn, because I thought the stat might have risen again. It was also less rewarding if not for the first time.

If there's one thing that's a little better, is that it's recovered quite well through two rounds of physical strength spent in one round? Thanks to this, we will be in a more precarious state during tomorrow's eighth war.

‘I don't remember much about today's game. ’

It was too easy to win, but I couldn't remember how the second round started and went. Hanwoojin, who was walking up the stairs to the audience, stopped feeling like something was clutching his ankle. Because the second round didn't come up very well.

No, I felt like I'd forgotten something.

Fortunately, I quickly remembered what I had forgotten.

“Oh, a towel. ”

Before the game, Han Woo-jin, who was holding the racket, realized that he had forgotten the handkerchief used to clean the frame in the waiting room. It wasn't that expensive, but I couldn't just abandon what I had in mind. It even has a name on it.

Someone could have found it and added to the effort.

Hanwoojin turned around and entered the hallway leading to the waiting room. It wasn't that far anyway. Just a slight detour from the corridor leading to the coat, you immediately saw the waiting room door.

Then again, Hanwoojin's feet stopped. I didn't think of anything else. It was because I felt popular in the waiting room at the door. Even the slightest noise was not missed by a sensitive sensation like a blade. Wall of Talents

The stent beyond gave him perception beyond the ordinary realm.

Roll your head with a faded breath as you stop walking. There are people in the waiting room. This next game is the second round of Choi Hyuk's career, and if so.

‘There's only one person in the waiting room. ’

I never thought I'd see you in a place like this before a match.

The waiting room was not noticeable because of the placenta of unused athletes. Nevertheless, he could not bite his feet again. I feel like I need to talk to Choi Hyuk for once anyway.

I was.

When I finished thinking, Han Woo-jin turned the door hook. The door to the waiting room opens with a loud hiss.

“· · · Hanwoojin? ”

“Huh."

And in about two months, the two men reunited. It was a very unattractive season.

* * *

After meeting each other, they said, "It's been a while." If you go like this, you two will meet tomorrow on your coat. I didn't have to forget to fight and fight with words like that.

The waiting room, which was so quiet, was disturbed by the words that Choi Hyuk took out.

“Woojin, did you do this? ”

“· · · What? ”

When Han Woo-jin didn't know what he was asking, Choi Hyuk raised his head and met his eyes. Only two eyes were flashing blue in the awkward face.

“At first, I thought it was just a coincidence, but no matter how much I think about it, I don't think Joonseong would make such a fundamental mistake on the part of his brother or our crew. ”

“ · · ·. ”

As he suspected, Choi Hyuk had not crossed the last line yet. The coldness that remained in the corner of my head accurately analyzed what had happened. This intersection of schedules, which seems to be a coincidence, was planned by Han Woo-jin.

I brought it out. Even though his eyes were clouded by curiosity, Choi Hyuk was also the most recurring.

“Yes, I did. ”

Han Woo-jin insisted without a word of rebuttal. Choi Hyuk was already confident in what he had said. It was an excuse and a few words in my mouth could lead to unpleasant misunderstandings.

Then, Yoon Hyeok stretched his back with his face as well. However, there were a lot of unresolved questions, so I quickly opened my mouth again.

“Why did you do that? In this unfamiliar coat, you're gonna fight me on the side of the ATP250 league? ”

He was genuinely curious. It was the two of them who were unable to convince each other of the end of the test league. I was going to settle this one day, but I never thought I'd run into you again in such a sudden situation.

In the end, Choi did not know enough about why Han Woo-jin did this trick.

From here, I had to choose the answer well. Races called geniuses often protruded quite a bit from their original ego.

Just as Choi Yeon-Hyuk reminded me of his lifelong qualifications because of Roger's lightness, if he realized at this point that he had created this stage for himself, it might hurt him deeply. About as much as that.

It was a matter that Ujin had to avoid.

However, he wasn't aiming for anything through this battle with Choi Hyuk. If you can't put the most important reason in your mouth, you have to tell me what it is. That's why it's reasonable to hear about Choi's history.

“The test league, remember? ”

“What?"

“When you went to the Hop House with me, you told me. Point is still 4040. The game wasn't over that day. ”

“· · Ah, I was. ”

The voice of Choi Yeon-hyeok who revived the memory sank. Perhaps even the feelings I felt at that time were revived. On the day you fought fiercely for the first time and were overwhelmed by someone you thought was inferior to you.

And the ratings were shattered along with Han Woojin's horses.

“That was some good shit. ”

“· · · What? ”

Choi Hyuk doubted his ears. I thought the memories of that day would be good for each other, but what does this mean?

However, Han Woo-jin was serious. Over time, he has dug up the memories of those moments that are embedded somewhere in his mind. The conclusion could not be difficult.

“Listen up. I lost to you that day. Setscore is 20. 64, 65. Last time I served or didn't serve, that's all I got. ”

“That's...”

“In any sport, no matter what the circumstances, I do not admit to coming down before the game is over. Fighters are TKO, and other sports are just disqualifications or riders. I lost. ”

The resolute voice did not allow a single rebuttal. I wasn't just saying that as an excuse. Hanwoojin admitted more seriously than ever that the end of the test league was his defeat. That's our history and our awards.

It's a big deal.

Choi Hyeon-hyuk who lost his horse because of a sound he didn't expect, took his eyes off for a moment and looked up at the ceiling. He didn't even think that Han Woo-jin was thinking this. He jumped like a fox with his tail on one of Roger's words.

Hanwoojin was chewing on the defeat of the past when he was holding back.

However, Han Woo-jin's words did not end there. Even before Choi Hyuk finally regained his composure, he put in his mouth what he wanted to get from the opening in Brazil with an octave.

“I made it clear. It would have been easier just to win. ”

The determination that was mixed in my voice without my knowing it made me lift my head even when I was exhausted. Hanwoojin throws a declaration of war at the rival who looks at him with surprised eyes.

“I will beat you tomorrow. If we are truly equal friends. I can't stand to lose like this. ”

Pick up a handkerchief that was placed on a nearby bench. There was nothing more to talk about. Instead of waiting for Choi Woo-jin's answer, Han Woo-jin opened the door of the waiting room he had left open.

I felt the gaze of my friend clinging to my back of my head, and he uttered in a loud voice.

“First, I'll make you a First Win and Lose. ”

The End
