God of Tennis

The game was paused without a chance to be happy that Han Woo-jin had won a point. It was because there was nothing unusual about Daniel complaining of pain. The referee paused the match and called in a medic to examine his wrist.

Meanwhile, Han Woo-jin was watching the situation on a bench near the referee.

It wasn't that big of a ball. ’

Obviously, the speed of the slug was great. The power carried by Smash's principal thrust, which plummets from top to bottom, must have also been substantial.

But it was never enough to let a strong man like Daniel miss a racket.

A tennis player's grip greatly surpasses that of a typical adult. The weight of the racket weighs 300 grams, but the weight of the air resistance generated by the volume is not a joke. Why the swinging racket falls out of your clutches even when the grip is a little blurry

was there.

Tennis players trained with thousands, tens of thousands of rackets have firm, thick wrists. Getting smashed hard is not a level that can cause problems.

So I was even more curious.

Daniel's expression distorted like he was suffering from sharp pain, whimpering as he rubbed the ice pack. At least it didn't look like a thumb.

But time didn't just wait for him. In the event of an injury caused by an accident during a match, a one-time break may be requested.

In other words, after three minutes, I had to get back on my coat.

Should I come up?

Positive half, negative half. As with any sport, tennis players do their best to avoid injury. There were those who would withdraw even if they had some symptoms.

Who wants to end a player's life in the ATP250 Qualifier, even if it's the Grand Final?

At the end of Medical Time, however, Daniel climbed onto the gear coat. He seemed determined to pursue the game.

The referee looked at him with a worried face, but there was no way to stop him because he claimed the player was fine and that the injury was not enough to stop him immediately.

“Daniel, serving play!"

Daniel throws the ball and crumples his face to make sure it hurts just by gripping the racket hard. However, he managed to swing the racket and beat the serve.

Of course, the state of the serve was a mess.

Bam!

The bespoke serve was coated and bounced by the ferocious return of Hanwoojin. The balance that was antagonizing was severely damaged by Daniel's wrist injuries. Perhaps there will be no balance until the end of this match.

Hanwoojin realized he had secured the victory.

“Love Thirty (0: 30)! ”

It's done. Daniel must be feeling it, too. So it's not enough to sit around and gloat? It was only when I was cornered that the toughness that matched his appearance was revealed.

It's good for a player to bring it down with all his best efforts. Hanwoojin hesitates. He quickly makes fun of the flying sub.

As the sub snaps his coat and bounces, Hanwoojin's racket awaits.

Paan!

I reached out my racket to get it somehow, but the pain from my wrist stopped Daniel's arm.

You grazed the racket tip and hammered the ball.

Love Forty (0: 40)! Set Point! ”

Finally, one set came to an end. One point left.

The end of this set also meant the end of the game. Daniel's wrist gets worse as the game gets longer, it doesn't get better.

Daniel punches the ball with a furious face.

The last serve has flown.

Tongue!

The terribly fast and sharp serve turned dull and aesthetic. This is because the wrist pain prevented the racket from exerting its power.

Hanwoojin thoroughly returned the ball to a place where Daniel could not retrieve it.

Bam!

“Game set! Set won by Ujin Han, Score 75! ”

One set and the declaration that would be the end of the game, Han Woo-jin listened to the notifications in his head.

[Fierce Play! Get 1 free stat in return for winning your first Duse game in the ATP250 League.]

[Fierce Play! Significantly increases the EXP of skills used to win a set in the ATP250 League.]

[You have reached level 1 in Bali.]

* * *

The game ended as he expected.

Daniel eventually declared a withdrawal, with even more pain on his wrists, and Han Woo-jin was able to finish the preliminary round two with a victorious victory. The breathing and muscles that were to be consumed were screaming as they demanded nutrition.

‘I've lost power too much. ’

The cause was simple. I met someone who was too strong. If Daniel had not been injured by the slug, he would not have known. Hanwoojin trembled at Daniel Patterson's skilled skills.

It was fortunate that the match would continue tomorrow. It seemed obvious that half of this skill would not work if we had to pay up to three times.

And after the game, Han Woo-jin went up to the audience and was greatly cheered by the group.

“What if you win so closely? You scared the shit out of me! ”

“Is that my fault? ”

Hanwoojin also spoke in a playful tone, punching into the abdomen of Choi Hyuk who was tapping his back. No matter how hard I tried, I felt energized after winning. Shin Se-yeon handed him a towel and water and searched his bag, but there was nothing to eat.

With all the calories she could spare, she glances at the tribute...

I said, "Hey, did you eat the nut bar over here? ”

“Khh, Hmmm. Woojin is so urgent that he stops... ”

It was that he ate it all. Like chewing popcorn watching an interesting movie. Avoiding Shin Se-yeon's whimsical gaze, the former director quickly switched sides.

He clears his throat a few times and speaks in a solemn voice toward Hanwoojin. The weight of the horse was already gone for a long time with the previous hazing, but it was as serious as the content.

“Well done. I think they were pretty good at this, but they won too. ”

“Yes, sir. ”

Han Woo-jin replied with his compliment. The compliment was even more joyful because it was a tribute to the praise. I was a director, but I said,

“You know you're not good enough yet, right? ”

It was a painful thing to say, but it was undeniable.

Hanwoojin nods quietly. Daniel Patterson was the one who saved him the shortage of skills. Had it not been for 'Slug’, we would have left the battle to chance.

“Smash was odd enough to make a decision. Why did you hit me like that? I don't think he was after it. ”

I couldn't reach it even if I was a director. Han Woo-jin was not a physical hitting the ball enough to injure the opponent.

It's not enough to hurt a pro ball player's wrist that he hit with all his might. It was hard to cause ligaments or muscle damage to the wrists, even if the body shot was shot straight through. A ball breaks a bone and a racket breaks in a cartoon.

It's happening.

However, I couldn't say that Han Woo-jin didn't want to. Whatever the ‘slug’ was, it knocked Daniel's recipe down from the front.

When he doesn't answer, the former director tilts his head and opens his mouth again. Silence would have been a positive.

“Let's go to the lodge first. Go eat your fill, get warmed up, and grow up. I've already recorded the march, so we'll go see. ”

“Yes, let's get up. ”

The group moves quickly, just waiting for Han Woo-jin to arrive. They immediately boarded the rental car that they had parked outside the venue. The accommodation was not far, but it was not necessary to make the players walk immediately after the match.

As soon as I got in the car and leaned on the seat, two athletes' eyelids fell off. The fatigue that was accumulated at the same time as relaxation was overwhelmed all at once.

Probably have to get back up in 10 minutes, but for a quick break from both of them, the director gently stepped on Axel.

The vehicle began to move with a slight tremor.

The 2nd round of preliminaries made their day go down quickly.

When they arrived at the inn, they did not overcome the hunger over tiredness and went to the restaurant. I could spend as much as I could on food as I could on full support. The pair of them had the opportunity to fill their insides luxuriously.

A special dish in Europe is the traditional Christmas food and calf-headed dishes.

Called TETE DE VEAU, it has a chewy yet distinctive flavor that captivates the taste buds of Hanwoojin and the most timeless. Even with wine, it would have been perfect, but drinking during the competition was insane.

Less than 10 minutes after emptying the bowl, they chewed the well with a couple of Quiche lorraines, a specialty of the Lauren province. Chopped bacon and egg tarts were mixed into the cream and gently slid over the neck.

“Thank you for your meal. ”

“Me, too."

The group sees plates stacked up by two people with bored faces. I said I used some stamina for the game, but can I suck like this? I ate fast, but chewed twenty times in one mouth to avoid disturbing my digestion.

The former director said as he wept over the beef. My pronunciation was a little blurry, but it wasn't hard to hear.

“Don't leak anywhere else. Go in and rest. I don't care if you sleep, but I'll put you to sleep for an hour. ”

When you sleep immediately after a meal, the secretion of gastric fluid slows down. The former director delicately advised them not to have bad conditions. The two of them also knew and answered and stood up. The group's meals take an extra 30 minutes to complete.

After opening the restaurant door, the two of them shivered for a moment in the cold night air. August in France was a little different from South Korea.

“Ugh, it's cold. That's a little short for an armband. ”

“I would've brought a Jamba. ”

Fifteen degrees? The two of them rushed to their quarters. As they were about to enter their rooms, Han Woo-jin turned his head and spoke to Choi Hyuk. There was one thing I shouldn't have done without him.

“History.”

“Uh, why? ”

He was halfway through the visit, and immediately responded. Han Woo-jin thought it might be a lung, but it's also a digestive exercise, so he thought it would be okay. He suggested a hand gesture to swing the racket.

“Do you want to go practice lightly? I have a ball I'd like to practice on. ”

“Um... Let's go in 10 minutes. I ate too much and the bathroom is in a hurry. ”

“You don't have to say that. I'll see you on the porch. ”

“Sure. ”

Luckily, I accepted Choi Yeon-Hyuk as if it was nothing. Han Woo-jin went into the room and closed the door. As you turn on the light, you see a racket waiting for him with a lump on the table.

You grab the racket. A status window pops into your head, revealing Hanwoojin's current condition.

Hanwoojin

Strength 59/HP 62/Agility 54

HP 1650/2480 SP 410/600

Forehand: 10/20

Backhand: 9/20

Bali Level: 8 of 20

Smash Level: 10/20

Dropshot Level: 6 of 20

Robe Level: 5/20

Special Skills: Sparrow (sub), Slug (smash)

‘You've used a lot. ’

It consumed a lot of HP or SP. After eating and recovering, about two-thirds. If it had been normal for two sets, it would have been exhausted.

Hanwoojin paused checking the status window and gathered attention to the Special Skills section at the bottom. It took three letters: "Slug."

The ball that broke Daniel Patterson's wrist.

Smash.

Jumping Smash?

Bodyshots.

Several thoughts and guesses came to mind and were broken, but no conclusions came out. It was impossible to know the details of the ball I had hit in the first place. That's why he asked Yeon-hee Choi to practice to observe the slug.

Of course, I didn't intend to break Choi's wrist. I just wanted you to make me an excuse to hit Smash.

‘Let's see. ’

The power of the new weapon.
