God of Tennis

The voice of judgment echoes, and by the time the echo is gone, Hanwoojin remains motionless. No, I couldn't move. He was not properly aware of the sights unfolding before his eyes.

‘Did you win...? I won?’

His pupils are loosened, and even his tightly clasped lips are numb. It was a typical example of a person who was completely mesmerized. It was unbelievable that it was Han Woo-jin who was always playing in a cold and calm stance. It's been a long time since I could feel the gaze around me.

He deserved it. The power of Han Woo-jin may seem to amuse Jokovich's defenses in others' eyes. However, given the reality, it was still in great danger. The crisis was clearly revealed in the status window of Hanwoojin.

Hanwoojin

Strength (Stiffness) 68 +2/HP 67/Agility 67

HP 1435/2680 SP 270/950

HP is a little over half, SP is at least 3 halves. At present, Hanwoojin's ability to play was as low as half as he had been before the second lap. Jokovich's inability to use his right hand after one set was not a relaxing situation.

Stinger has almost run out of power, powered by his sub-game so far. Even more powerful than Zokovich is consumed as a one-sided attack, making it almost parallel. If Jokovich goes two sets too far, he'll be at least half as strong.

I would have heard.

As I was preparing for the second half of hell, the victory that fell was severed by Hanwoojin's nerve cord, which was pulled tightly.

Of course, Zokovich and the others didn't know it when they woke up dead.

However, there were those who interpreted Hanwoojin's reaction in a different way, those who had been broadcasting his match with an unrelenting voice for over an hour. The appearance of Han Woo-jin in their eyes was delightful.

Hey, Han Woo-jin? There's not a step in the coat right now. I don't think there's a problem here... I think he's just mesmerized.

Haha, you look a little old. Have you ever seen a face like that before? I don't think I've ever done that before. That's how hard it must have been to fight Jokovich. Isn't that right, Kim?

I feel the same way about Yoon. In fact, given the context of the game, it was okay to say that Hanwoojin had the advantage except for 12 games. But for the first time, as soon as we succeeded in counterinsurgency, the battle was won. It'll be relaxing.

The commentators were even happy to see Han Woo-jin's stupidity. No matter how good a player was, it was hard to feel attractive without human beauty. I used to worry about him because he didn't have a good look for his age, and I saw his face like that today, and it was raining.

I even felt like I saw the real Rosso Han Woo-jin.

However, he could not always ride the Earl. At the end of the game, the two players were polite to each other and left the court as directed by the referee.

Suddenly, a little noise started to flow through the MBS station's speakers.

P-p-p-pot... p-pot...!

Hmm? What's that sound?

There must have been some sort of mix-up with the radio reception.

No, I don't think it's just noise...

It sounded as if the wingworms were flapping their wings as a group, making noise on the radio. The commentators looked at the station executives, including PD, with a silly face, but they had no idea what the sound was.

However, their question was quickly solved.

At first, the sound that was small enough to be heard by the noise created a snake that was long enough to fill the inside of the stadium and remain soft.

Bam, bam, bam, bam!

Waaaahhhhhhhh!

Even a simple act of applause, the number of audiences close to the waterworks, was not enough to turn it into a huge wave of sound. Some people rolled their feet, and some unhappy audiences whistled. The landscape of the Jamsil Olympic Tennis Court has just been completed.

I trembled.

And the sound, the vibration, remained while awakening the spirit of Han Woojin who was standing at the edge of the coat.

‘Really... I won. ’

The loosened pupils are corrected and the waving focus returns. The excitement in Han Woo-jin felt his victory through the fierce cheer of the audience. The lid that was covering somewhere in my mind felt like it had bounced off the strong water pressure.

even though it wasn't at its peak.

I've overcome all odds rather than the differences in my skills.

It's a coincidence that the sails of victory and defeat are tilted.

You defeated Jokovich, who was literally a being in the sky!

I couldn't wait any longer. Hanwoojin hides the boiling emotion under his skin and takes a step. Beyond the net, Jokovich awaits. It was a long story, but his face was quite different from that in the memory. It's the face you have left.

It was like the reason Han Woo-jin won.

“That was a great play, Mr. Han. I've never received a ball so intense. ”

“I agree, Mr. Jokovich. If you see a backhand player for a while, you'll think of him first. ”

The two of them exchanged virtues with a strong grip. Hanwoojin couldn't help but wonder at Jokovich's cheekbones. His deep, tranquil eyes did not waver at all after a surprise defeat. Unlike Han Woo-jin, he's really young, but he's still mentally challenged.

It was proof that it was right.

‘Even at such a young age, Jokovich is still Jokovich. ’

Even to Han Woo-jin, who has a lower rank than that, he lost because of his strength and not his purely skill difference. Even a proud young man of that age would have had his face blushed and frowned, there was nothing strange about it.

Jokovich left without losing his gentlemanly attitude until the end. He gives a light funeral to Han Woo-jin, taking his racket and slowly pulling away to the other side of the corridor. It was a perfect backdrop to be an example for others, not only good skills, but also good mindset.

Both players look great. Hanwoojin and Jokovich! Isn't that what makes a gentleman's sport worth fighting for and respecting?

It's true. Even Han Woo-jin was 84, Jokovich was 87. But either way, it was professional courtesy. Very impressive.

And today's victory is pretty significant. The odds of beating Jokovich weren't so great after all. The other players probably anticipated that Jokovich would win, and they devised a strategy, and it all got tangled up. Surprise is a powerful weapon.

Are they enjoying the joy of victory now? The commentators once again started casting their own opinions and arguments.

However, their voices never entered Han Woojin's ears. It was because his ears were still busy enough.

[You have barely won a victory over your opponent. EXP of the skills used will be settled.]

[There is an ATP500 league entry record for Wage 4. Your EXP will be subtracted slightly.]

[Stamina stat has increased by 1.]

[Backhand level has increased by 1.]

[The sub's level has increased by 1.]

[You have reached level 1 in Bali.]

* * *

At the end of Group B, Hanwoojin and Zokovich, a fairly large number of spectators got up from their seats as they didn't even know they were going to the bathroom for two hours or so.

The number of spectators that are filling the audience is close to the waterfront. Even if only some of them move, the flow of waves lightly exceeds a hundred orders of magnitude. With over a thousand people moving, the whole dome quickly became noisy. Even if someone shouts, it's hard to hear.

It was such a commotion.

And there was an old man dressed in a suit at the end of the audience who was strictly guarding his seat. His gray-haired eyes were cold as frostbites, but it seemed to melt briefly as he looked at Han Woojin's back leaving his coat.

A voice that walked next to the old man's seat entered his mind.

“Are you satisfied now? ”

“Hmm."

The old man, Chairman Jo, once nodded, not easily shaking his head, returning the answer to the director's question. Robin Jokovich, today's triumph over top-notch timber, was almost inexhaustible, even with a few compliments. The opponent was that strong, and Han Woo-jin won

Victory was an unexpected result.

“Did I say Zokovich? That young man is a real monster. It'll be hard to find an enemy after 10 years. ”

“Maybe so. ”

I didn't deny the director. Chairman Jo's eyes were superior in some ways compared to his eyes. His ability to recognize his vessel or his potential as a human being was a gift that made him chairman of NK products.

However, even if someone other than Cao Cao said so, there would be no denying. Even in the eyes of the former director, the potential of Zokovich was uncovered. At best, he was different from other athletes who were just pools and ponds. It wasn't even a lake. The sea, the vastness of it.

It was comparable to sheep.

However, the outcome of the battle remains unchanged. Even though Jokovich's potential was great, the winner of the two rounds of the Seoul Open just passed was Han Woo-jin.

Chairman Cho now choked with a bold voice, reflecting Hanwoojin's back that had disappeared from his sight. It was a voice with a strange resonance that seemed to satisfy the growth of my son or grandson.

“By the way, I've only taken off one sheath. ”

“… did you know? ”

“Of course. Just how you look doesn't hide your true nature. ”

I don't think anyone's a ghost.

The director sticks his tongue out. From time to time, Cho even pierced areas he could not see, which was the case.

The subtle inferiority hidden inside Han Woo-jin was a secret even recently discovered. Obviously, there was a peculiar tendency to lower myself on the subject of moving toward the world at an overwhelming rate compared to other athletes of his age. I guess it was a good thing they didn't have a sense of self-interest.

That inferiority helped make Hanwoojin's cold situation judgment, but it was also a foreign body that needed to be removed to be reborn as a true strength. How can a player who doesn't believe in his own strength aim for the climax?

But those deep roots were meaningless if they could not lift themselves up. That's why I was just standing back and watching the director.

And finally, the chrysalis peels off.

“Fables rather than shifts. This competition will grow a lot. ”

“Chairman, you asked me to win...”

“Nothing is more meaningless than knowing the answer and putting it in your mouth. Don't you think?”

Only after listening to Pinzan did the director keep his mouth shut. Chairman Jo glanced down at the coat behind his tracks with a relaxed look as if he was satisfied around it. In his view, the two young men who were still exchanging the ball fiercely were good. Until last year, I had a dream.

And there it was.

‘Hanwoojin... That's more than I expected. No, it's more than that. ’

To be honest, I didn't expect much, but if I go on like this, I have a real chance of winning. This day there will be no shortage of success. Challengers who defeated the strongest were less likely to rise above their usual capabilities.

If Han Woo-jin really wins at the Seoul Open...

“We'll need a new contract. ”

A good sword requires a proper blade.

A smile spread across Joe's creased mouth. It was a smile from my heart that I had built for a long time.
