God of Tennis

< fable # 2 >

The day after winning the battle with Zokovich, Han Woo-jin got up early in the morning and went to the racket room outside the vehicle. It was because Hyo-nam Kim agreed to check the racket used in yesterday's match. Every time I played a game, it was such a hassle to go through this sequence.

Hanwoojin was well aware of the importance of full vigilance.

And Han Woo-jin had to face Hyo-myung Kim looking at him with a silly look there. No matter how peculiar the racket was yesterday, Hyo-nam Kim accused him of being a ridiculous face.

“By the way, how did you manage to get Throat in one day? I saw the video of the game yesterday, and I haven't held it in both hands in a while. ”

“Barely. ”

Hanwoojin was silently accepting and reassuring. His strength level was 68 and he faced a wall of 70, calibrated by super-strength. Moreover, when the ‘striker’ characteristic is applied, it suddenly reaches a level outside the specification of 73. Even if you hit it with one hand, you can't afford to put too much pressure on the racket.

The grip, the power.

‘This is absurd. ’

I also understood the awkwardness Kim Hyo-nam gave me. Other athletes sometimes say they change or tune the strings, but they couldn't find any metal distortions in a single match like Han Woo-jin.

Moreover, the racket was made of titanium, renowned for its durability. It meant there was no alternative.

“Probably not in the next game, right? ”

“Of course, it's not grommets, and if the throttle or shaft is damaged, it's hard to fix. I don't know if Rim (RIM) is a bit harsh... ”

I got a quote as soon as I saw the end blur. Areas that are not easily damaged are difficult to repair. It was often because the racket's lifespan had run out at the time it had to be destroyed in the first place. In fact, unless the metal parts of the racket have been bent or dented and neglected to manage,

Part of it was a lifetime problem. If you hit your coat with a racket, it's a different story.

However, that was not the case for Han Woo-jin. Despite their normal play, the racket's lifespan reached rapid alertness. It was absurd as a racket stringer, so it was not understandable.

“I can't help it. I'll use a spare racket for the next match. ”

“Hoo, I'm going to need a stronger model. so that Han Woojin can swing comfortably. ”

“Yes, please. ”

“Please cheer for the next match! ”

After finishing the story, Han Woo-jin left the room with a spare racket stored in the maintenance cabinet. The cool March air came and tickled his skin.

‘Tsk, it's still a little bitter. ’

The body you burned yesterday was screaming everywhere. He ran all day and hit Zokovich, forcing himself to take the lead, and his muscles were pretty wasted. To the extent that the pressure I felt when I grabbed my hand as hard as I could was significantly lower than yesterday.

It was, too. It was not consuming enough to get better with a good night's rest.

But it wasn't just weakening. Recovery speed was accelerated as the stamina stat increased by 1, and the skills were greatly enhanced as the level of the three skills increased at once. If only the HP consumed could be recovered, it would be more advanced than Han Woo-jin before the battle with Zokovich.

Hanwoojin, who was going to enjoy the warm spring weather and headed to the outdoor coat, encountered Shin Se-yeon, who was piling up files on the way. She doesn't seem to have noticed him yet.

Hanwoojin gently approaches her and snatches the file from her walking arms. Heavy weights have been crushed on your palms, even as you can prove that the weight will come out when you gather them.

“Huh? Oh, Woojin! ”

“Why are you so busy in the morning? I can't even see. ”

“Ooh, give me back the file first. What's the guy doing tomorrow with the game? ”

“I don't want to. Se-yeon is going to fall down with it. ”

Maybe her destination is the audio-visual room. There was a CD or video in between the files telling me about it. After switching lanes and taking a step, Shin Se-yeon was restless and followed behind. It was because pulling at the bottom of the cloth could break the balance.

Moreover, she was taller than Han Woo-jin, but she had to be smaller than Han Woo-jin. It was impossible to hijack the files as he did.

“Phew, I'm stubborn. ”

“Oh, I want to tell that to anyone. ”

“... I don't know why. ”

Shin Se-yeon tilted her head and looked at Han Woo-jin's face. No, the atmosphere was a little different. I mean, I've got a little more room than I ever had. The atmosphere that was someday tense was relaxed gently. Similarly, she had not noticed his approach. Whether it was a rigorous effect of self-care or not, there was an atmosphere of sorts that made approaching difficult.

But what about him now? A naturally ascending buyer painted a smooth arc line. It was a strange smile for her, too.

Shin Se-yeon, who looked hot for no reason, swung her head. It was because I couldn't hear my voice well when I looked at it like this.

“By the way, where were you going? Looking for a racket?”

She guessed when she saw the racket bag on Han Woojin's shoulder, but unfortunately slipped away. He shakes his head and holds firmly to the shaky file. A video and a CD case intersecting the page gives a rattling sound.

“No, I changed my racket, and I was trying to unwind outside. ”

“Is it okay to move already? Maybe you should just take a break. ”

She looked at aunt Hanwoojin with suspicious eyes. Yesterday's game was a blood clot that drew sweat from even her hands, who had played many games with him. As soon as one game is snatched away and won, Shin Se-yeon has a few times to wet her dry mouth.

I inhaled a high water bottle.

“What can I do? I couldn't get a soft sound out of anyone. ”

“Really, do you keep doing this? ”

I hate it today. Shin Se-yeon glanced at him slightly. As usual, Woojin looked at her sober face and smiled. In the end, it was Shin Se-yeon who turned his eyes first.

The two of them who were walking without realizing that they were going to have time, arrived in front of a new audio-visual room. When Shin Se-yeon opened the door, Han Woo-jin picked up the file and followed behind. After clearing all the imported files and putting them on the table, the conversation between the two of you continued.

“How are you feeling? I'm going to practice. Can I assume I'm fully recovered? ”

“Well... I guess it's a little further down than yesterday. ”

Surviving Zokovich was a miracle. Even if he fought again, he could not be sure that he would win. I couldn't go back to the original state in one day after I had a thrombus against such an enemy.

However, Hanwoojin's complexion was not dark. He nodded his head again and reassured Shin Se-yeon for worrying about his body.

“Don't worry. I'm good enough as it is. ”

“Do you know who's next? ”

“Luis Horman, 34th in the world. Left-handed player from Switzerland. The dropshot is artistic. ”

I proved that the answer flowing like water was never known as a watermelon. However, his attitude made Shin Se-yeon confused.

In 34th place in the world, Louis Homan was ranked 20 places higher than Han Woo-jin. He was nothing compared to Zokovich, but he was never a worthy opponent. Especially now that she's not in a full state of mind.

However, Han Woo-jin's attitude was completely relaxed. He doesn't budge at all after familiarizing himself with the opponent's ranking and abilities. It was completely different from the previous look of being too cautious and cowardly.

“Seyeon. I learned a few things from yesterday's game. You know what? ”

“… What is it? ”

At the moment Shin Se-yeon's reflex, the air around Hanwoojin that was gently loosening sank heavily. A completely human transformation. If you were holding a racket, your grip grips the air until the handle breaks.

It was definitely different than before If Han Woo-jin's past resembles poisoned flesh, he is now closer to a tiger.

The Great Lakes make the whole mountain tremble with a single roar!

“I'm still lacking a lot. You can still be stronger. And…”

Lift the eyelid that was closed. Deeply silent eyes reflect a frightening glow. The beast that was sleeping inside Han Woo-jin opened its mouth tightly.

“─ I'm stronger than I thought I would be. ”

* * *

[Game Bernet! 62, 64!]

With the sound of the referee's declaration of victory heard through the speakers, the three commentators begin to talk in earnest, as Cedric's victory in the third race of the Eighth Precinct is confirmed, followed immediately by Han Woojin's next match.

“Sedrick, who's also a great Balinese player today, played a really good match. Isn't that right?”

“Yes, it must have been hard for the viewers to leave in front of the TV. Please go to the bathroom quickly while we have a boring conversation. I really don't want to miss the next game! ”

“Oh, it's his turn again, isn't it? Who was it this time? ”

Kim Hyung, who was quite familiar with one of the new broadcasts, mysteriously finished what he naturally remembered. The conversation continued after the commentators pulled out the march and filmed the march and floated the video over the brown tube.

“Lewis Homan, Switzerland. I've never heard of it… ATP Single Ranking is ranked 34th. ”

“I remember seeing it sometimes. He was an amazing dropper. Lewis Homan, although his playing style is not particularly noticeable, he is a very strong player in nature. ”

“I'm also a pretty imaginative player with Han Woojin. The stronger the ball, the harder it is to use the drop shot. With such delicate qualities, there's definitely room for an aggressive long-term player. ”

Whatever they said, Luis and Hanwoojin's imagination was good. From Han Woo-jin's point of view.

Being able to give and receive balls near the baseline, the quality and dropshot was a dramatic technique for the base liner. Dropshots that plummeted as soon as they crossed the net were due to cut off the flow of rallies.

And a high-quality dropshot talker could take a punching motion and flick the ball for a short time, and reverse bounce it back to the net. Moreover, in parallel with Rob, he was able to stand one step ahead in a psychological battle. In fact, its depth

It was an unseen condition.

However, there is no technology that has only the advantage of any sport. The same was true of the qualities and dropshots that were possible to perform magical tricks.

“Well, drop shots often pop up in a relaxed rally, don't they? ”

“It's hard to make out. If they find out, they're more likely to get hit by a reverse attack. If you do that, it's almost defenseless. ”

“That's right, and Lewis Homan uses Drop volley very well, and he probably won't see it in the game today. ”

Hanwoojin's bludgeoning stems from a strong hand, and boasts fearsome restraints. Most of the time, I couldn't even give a shy thumb before I bound it once to my coat. It's too much of a risk every time you try Bali. No matter how skilled Louis Homan is at Drop Bali,

Even though it was hard to put my foot inside the service coat.

The monitor emits a pale light in front of the three commentators making hopeful observations. It meant the camera was now connected. It also meant that Han Woojin and Louis Homan's Eight Commandments were about to begin.

Gu Woong... Gu Woong...

A strange sound comes from the microphone on the coat connected with the camera. The cheers, applause and loud cheers conveyed inside the stadium have crossed the microphone's sonic limit. Even the broadcast room was fluttering with one ear, and the commentators comfortably cut off the flow.

“The heat on the Olympic tennis courts is amazing again today. As soon as Han Woo-jin appeared, the sound went out. Next time, I'm going to put the microphone a little bit further away. ”

“But it'll be quiet when the game starts, right? Until then, I'm going to play an ad for a while. ”

“It will continue in a moment, viewers. Coming soon to 8 Seoul Open events broadcasting on MBS! ”
