Grand Slam

After returning home, the quartz quickly began to read.

‘Forehand, One-hand Backhand, Two-hand Backhand, Sub, Bali, Smash, Abomination……. ’

It was an introduction to the study of each movement, with athletes' movements stretched to steel cuts.

The marble focuses more on the legs of the players than on the hands and arms. It is now 91 years old, so I cannot watch videos on YouTube as before. In this way, we have to study how normal people play tennis.

“Huff!”

After seeing all the mouth documents and pulling out the magazine, the quartz couldn't help but look at the page and be shocked.

- Fast ranking in the National Sports and Sports Association

Ranking/Name/Affiliation/Total Score

5 Hyunwoo Lee, Korea Dae OB 230

8 Hanminji Korea Daewoo 180

10 Young-ae Lee, Korea Dae OB 175

“Oh my……. ”

I thought I was doing well, but this ranking was imaginary.

Normally, even Dongho people have the upper hand in tennis that they played or were educated in when they were very young, which meant that this level of ranking was unusual.

“Yes!”

Quartz moves away from his companion ranking and comes up with a trick.

The next day.

School was still a boring and terrible place, but it came to the time of education when marble had been waiting so long.

When it was elected, the supervisor and the deputy commander filled the teapot with water and drew a fur coat on the field.

The PE teacher threw a ball of blood and sat on the stairs, snatching yawns and watching the children.

‘You're eating life for a living. ’

The quartz kicked his tongue and approached the PE teacher and spoke to him.

“Teacher.”

I answered the question of marble with a clear annoyance to the teacher.

“Huh?"

I was irritated by the serenity.

"Was I this irritating? ’

However, I said as politely as I could, because I have a favor to ask.

“Sir, you know tennis, right? ”

Of course you do. I need to know.

If you were in gym education, you'd have caught a racket.

“Tennis? I know. ”

The gym teacher's eyes flashed. The child asked me about a sport that even adults don't know, and it was fresh.

“Are there any national student competitions in Seoul? ”

“What? ”

Curiosity was also a gym teacher who was often annoyed by the question of marble.

Nevertheless, marble did not erase his smile, but spoke beautifully.

“My parents and I play tennis, and they asked me if I had a competition. ”

“Parents? What do your parents do? ”

The PE teacher said grudgingly, wagging his pinkie finger.

“The test.”

Follow-up horses from the marble caught the PE teacher flinching in the marble's eyes. However, he pretended not to know, and kept a single smile on his face.

“Hmmm, come to the office later. ”

The teacher pretended to be calm while clear-headed, but he answered with a joyful tone.

“Thank you!! ”

* * *

“Hmm……. ”

On the way, he looks at the print in his hand and thinks: It was funny because I remembered the teacher who threw it away like it was nothing special in the office. The content is written in detail, like a university paper.

“What's that? ”

Jinhee, who was standing next to the marble, asked her.

The house is also close, and my parents have been together since they face-shaped.

Jinhee was holding the hand of a marble like a child.

“Huh? It's a tennis competition. ”

He answered with his gaze fixed in the print.

“Tennis? Oh, the last workout? ”

“Yes.”

Quartz raised his head and stroked Jinhee's head.

Now it became my habit to stroke my head every time I saw it because it was cute. Jinhee also felt like a cat when she stroked the rock to see if she was used to it now.

On the way back home, I chatted with Jinhee.

Can you beat him? ’

Even when I came home, I continued to worry about marble.

The competition was held out of my mind. I think it was part of Seoul.

Most school tennis players are expected to compete in these competitions. It says that horses are under the age of 13, but most will be crowded in fifth and sixth graders. Competitions of course have performance, so I will die at my own risk.

He is now in elementary school, but according to his birth year he is seven years old. Can you afford a coat with this little body? I opened the opening document of a book shop not long ago and looked at the racket for no reason. The house was big enough for the marble to run around, so there was no interference.

* * *

“Competition?”

I asked my parents as if they were surprised by the words of marble sitting across from my parents after dinner.

“Yes. I looked it up and it opened up a lot. ”

“Can you apply? ”

“We should ask the teacher to apply. ”

“Yeah? When? ”

“It's happening this Saturday. Come with me.”

My parents shrugged their shoulders with the bold attitude of marble.

“Yes, I'll call the school tomorrow. ”

“Yes. Why don't you invite Jinhee to come with you? ”

“Okay, got it. ”

Not long ago (?) After the ambition announcement was stiffened, she and her parents didn't know how to talk to each other. So there was this dry conversation. It was awkward, so my father turned on the TV and lay down. Mother picked up the marble and took it to her room.

“My son. My sweet boy. ”

He kissed and put down the marble and said.

“I believe my son. I want you to show your dad something cool this time. I'll convince her. ”

The quartz smiles a little.

“Yes, I'll show you. ”

* * *

The weekend is coming.

“Where is the competition? ”

Jinhee's mother asked the mother of marble.

“It's an Olympic stadium… I'll be there in 30 minutes. I know the way, so just follow me. ”

Jinhee was excited like a child having a picnic without even knowing what tennis was.

“This is going to be fun! ”

The marble smiles quietly, puts the racket and tennis shoes in the bag that the young lady gave me, and climbs into the car.

I didn't know where I was going to win, but I felt comfortable bumping into them first and measuring them afterwards.

At the entrance of the luxurious villa complex, Benz and Audi Medium-sized sedans quietly escape without a word.

* * *

“Wow…. ”

Jinhee, who got out of the car, resilied to the magnificence of the dominant stadium.

‘It's been a long time... …. ’

It's the second home for marble, more than a hundred times. Nevertheless, I didn't bring a wheelchair, but I felt new because I was standing firmly on my legs and looking at the stadium.

Tennis courts show extremes of inefficiency.

There was a staircase of pebbles surrounded to see just one side of the tennis court, and a few of the court in that way shortages the site. Nevertheless, it is unknown because it is as popular as football in the world.

“This is the Final Court, and the Qualification is there. ”

My father naturally leads the group.

Seeing that his face was reddened, he seemed quite nervous. My mother laughed and followed me with her bare hands. Jinhee didn't know the way, so she followed him without saying anything.

“Here.”

It was led by my father where the preliminaries took place, with the coat stretching 10 sides.

It was noisy with students, parents, and faculty who had already arrived first. Not many children were as young as elementary school and high school.

“The competition is here to the semi-finals. ”

My father recited the rules of the drinking competition.

“Thirty-two people have applied, so it's fast to the 8th river in the morning and lunch is served. From 2: 00 p.m. to the semi-finals, the final will be played in that court at 5: 00 p.m. It's gonna be hard. ”

The quartz asked.

“What are the rules of the game? ”

“There are three sets to the semi-finals. There are also three sets of finals. There are fewer sets per day. If you want to save your health, you should win 1 or 2 sets in a row and move fast. Oh, watch out, the morning game is a self-judge. You know what I'm saying? ”

As my father tested, he stared at the eyes of marble and said,

The stone gives way to suspicion with a glancing smile.

“Of course.”
