Chapter 43.3 - World Rank Hanwoojin # 3 (End of Volume 5)

It was only three days after Han Woo Jin appeared on the air. It has been over a week since the end of the Shenzhen Open. It wasn't a break, I felt like I was in any medical treatment.

'Thanks to my condition, I have improved a lot.'

He alternated his left and right shoulders to check his condition. The information in the status window was too brief. Mild muscle pain and subtle condition hunting were not revealed. I needed to move myself to check.

And I had to embody what I gained by winning the ATP250 league, the Shenzhen Open. If you can't adapt to the stats you've climbed, you can't. That's why Han Woo-jin was on the court as soon as he got permission from the director.

He grasped the racket with his hands on.

Iii.

The grip on the racket that was replaced with a new one was quite stiff. The handle, originally wrapped in rubber, is tamed with sweat and grip. In order to find the right taste, I had to pay attention to it until the Tokyo Open.

When I closed my eyes and focused my mind, as usual, an achromatic status window popped up to inform me about the current status of Hanwoojin.

[Hanwoojin]

Strength 63 / Stamina 63 / Agility 63

HP 2470/2520 SP 770/770

Forehand: 14/20

Backhand: 9/20

Serve: 15/20

Volley: 9/20

Smash: 11/20

Dropshot: 9/20

Lob: 10/20

Special Skills: Stinger (Serve / Step 2), Slug (Smash)

"You've climbed a lot."

I admired it without knowing.

1 point increase of all stats, level up forehand and smash skills.

It was a very satisfying price for winning the ATP Tour. Now, more than 10 levels of skills are more than skills. If you accumulate a little more experience, volley, backhand, and drop shots could have crossed the level 10 wall.

Level 10 was not just two digits. At least as far as Hanwoojin understood, there was more meaning. In stats, it was a point of reference, equivalent to 60.

'The number symbolizes the wall of talent.'

The types of players Hanwoojin met so far were diverse. These are the geniuses who remain in the middle and lower ranks in Korea, the geniuses who will be known worldwide, and the veterans who are mature.

It was a hypothesis based on them. If the physical wall is 60, the technique wall was 10. The good example was Okuda Ryosuke, who stood out with a forehand. The moment you go beyond level 10, the skill turns into a weapon that will be used on the world stage.

If you go like this, the strongest climber who reaches the ultimate in all fields will not be a simple dream.

But he hopefully ended his thoughts. The system didn't seem to be that slim.

'Achievements achieved with duplicates will be reduced or eliminated. It means that no matter how many times you accumulate, you will never get anything. '

What if all the achievements are over in the best situation?

Can you try again from there with a simple spirit that only depends on the system?

It would not have been an answer until then. So Hanwoojin opened his eyes. The numbers and letters that roamed my head fell in vain. A blue coat and white net filled his sight.

At that time, a strange voice jumped into my ears.

"Hey, are you Woojin?"

"… By the way. "

Han Woo-jin responded by looking at the man who spoke in a gentle tone. It was happening that I got used to in the last few days. Not only the old players but also the new players tried to walk to him.

It's been something I've been through since appearing on the MBS Sports Channel. Unintentionally he was raised. There were several times when I was walking around the squad and asked to sign. It was rare for a tennis player belonging to a non-mainstream player.

"If you don't mind, can you play a game? I was looking forward to hearing that you were in NK. "

His face and voice were quite young. Hanwoojin was able to see his name and ability because he was holding a racket. I'm talented on the drop shot side, but it's nothing special for a pro. If a game is not a practice but a game,

Can you win without losing?

I wanted to give a positive answer because I was also full of body.

"Hanwoojin!"

"Director?"

Out of nowhere, the ceremony appeared in the exercise hall shouted. In a voice looking for himself, Han Woo-jin raised his body reflexively. Maybe today was not the day.

"I don't think it will be today. Let's do it next time. "

"Ah yes! Thank you!"

It wasn't a proper appointment, but the other side bowed. Which seemed to clearly show which side was up.

Leaving behind that unfamiliar yet, Han Woo-jin stepped forward to where the former director was waiting.

The former director did not explain why he called Han Woo-jin. He strided toward the squad car park where his vehicle was parked. Han Woo-jin, walking silently along the back, was able to face a familiar face.

"Seyeon?"

"Ah, here it is. Have you been resting well? "

It was my first meeting after breaking up from the station. She waved with a gentle smile. Han Woo-jin asked with a half-welcome face and half a question.

"What happen? It's not yet a date to get back to work. "

"Yeah? Do you not know what's going on today? "

Shin Se-yeon was surprised by his question. Han Woo-jin nodded because there was no straw. She opened her mouth somewhere shameless.

"Woo Jin won the championship in the ATP250 League. right?"

"? Yeah."

It was a quick question. He replied. Shin Se-yeon, however, broke his face even further. Even though I told you so far, it seemed that I didn't know anything. In the end, she explained the whole story.

"You were in the contract. If you achieve a runner-up on the ATP Tour, there is room for a renewal. I'm going to take care of it today. "

"… Oh, there was something like that. "

I forgot about it. At first, it was hard to even think about the game. In just half a year, he made his name in the world rankings and exchanged the ball with players he had seen on the air. In such a situation, I had no time to reconsider the provisions of the contract.

But for the agent, it was ridiculous. Hanwoojin scratched his head with his face, forgetting his contract.

* * *

"Oh, welcome. It's a long time to see your face like this. Isn't it, former director? "

"Isn't it faster than I thought?"

"Hull, I think so too."

President Joe's face, which had been encountered for over half a year, was even more vibrant. Despite her mature white hair, her skin was taut, and her regular eyes seemed to miss the years.

He got up from the podium and approached Hanwoojin and knocked on his shoulder. I felt a demonism that was not suitable for the old man. Chairman Cho made eye contact with Han Woo-jin with a young face.

"Very good! In fact, winning the ATP250 in half a year was a growth that was faster than Nana had expected. I can only say that you underestimated your potential! "

"Go, thank you."

The exalted voice of the old gentleman rang in an enclosed room. Hanwoojin, embarrassed by the grip of his shoulders and the heat in his voice, trembled without knowing. I couldn't have thought that someone like Joe would be so welcoming.

Former director was also pretty face. No matter how good he was than he had walked, President's butt was a heavier thing.

Shin Se-yeon did not know the situation was far more. In the end, he was nothing more than an agent. NK C & T, who is in charge of the leading domestic conglomerates?

All three were embarrassed, but, as evidenced by the record, only Sang-sik took off his lips.

"President, first talk about the contract… "

"Huh, yes. I tremble my book. It's not a matter of calling young people and taking time as a governor. "

He returned to his seat and beckoned Seth to sit down. Only after everyone was seated could the story begin.

"You don't need long words. This is my new contract. Please read along with the agent lady. "

"Okay."

Han Woo-jin politely accepted the documents he delivered. Shin Se-yeon, who was sitting next to her, shook her head and looked at the contents.

The contents were like this.

Affiliation: NK Corporation

Contract period: 3 years

Down payment: 100 million

Annual salary: 100 million

Travel allowance: full payment

Winning allowance: 100% / 150% of prize money (ATP Tour)

Runner-up allowance: 50% / 100% of prize money (ATP Tour)

* At the time the contract is concluded, NK C & T will provide unlimited support for the life of the player, including the operation of the dedicated team of the contract player.

* NK Corporation will make every effort to provide support for the contracted player's participation in the competition.

* NK C & T will fully support the expenses related to the competition or the medical treatment of the athlete.

* This contract is concluded for three years and can be extended or revised in the future if the performance is met.

"Ah… ! "

Shin Se-yeon's round eyes were astonishingly loud. That was because the conditions were huge.

Unfamiliar people might have thought that they would only earn 100 million won against a world-ranked player. But the income of tennis players comes in different ways from football and baseball players. The prizes won by going through dozens of competitions at a time

That was it.

Even Hanwoojin did not know the details of the amount of money attached to the down payment, and took a deep breath. Winning the Shenzhen Open earned as much as 300 million dollars, but it still had to beep at billions.

"Ujin, take it as it is. It's so good that I can't ask for more. "

Shin Se-yeon whispered in the ear of Han Woo-jin. It was a robbery that demanded better conditions than this. There is no room for negotiation, and it is not possible to extend the palm of the hand.

When he nodded and signed the contract at the bottom of the contract, he handed it back, and President Cho received it and put it in the drawer, as if he knew it. At first, the contract was justification and there seemed to be something more to say.

"Well, how are you preparing for the Tokyo Open? I recently had a tight schedule, but I don't know if it's okay. "

"No problem. I've been resting for a few days. "

Han Woo-jin responded by turning his head lightly. If you take a long break after a severe schedule or training, you're better off than before. It is a concept similar to the initial recovery, and that is exactly what he is now.

But the following words had to harden the body.

Chairman Cho brought up a topic that Daewook Hanwoojin was disregarding.

"Roger Pedro, I heard that man was coming to Tokyo. I wonder if I'm going to sweep the championship in both East and West. "

"… … . "

Emperor Roger Pedro.

From 2004 to 2008, a monster that has stayed at its peak for four and a half years. No one before him appeared, but after him, he did not destroy Roger's record. The emperor proved himself uniquely.

World ranking 91 after half a year. Even Hanwoojin, who raised his capacity at a terrible pace, was too early to encounter him. But President Cho had an interesting look. It was a look forward to the expectation of the world's strongest expectations.

Expectations were heavy, but Hanwoojin laughed. Previously, he wasn't even looking at his name. But now it is possible to name the same competition.

"You won't be able to win yet."

It was natural. Who can guarantee victory against Roger Pedro?

But Chairman Cho laughed with his grisly eyes. 'Yet is Eun', a word that told Hanwoojin's determination. Chairman Cho raised his head and turned toward the window.

He looked out the window. The sun shining through the clouds was quite warm. Asphalt which was overheated cools and autumn which cool wind blows is approaching.

"Good. It's a good time. "

Is it talking about the weather or Hanwoojin? The meaning was unknown. The three watched the president's back, but he said nothing more.

Hanwoojin's first season out was approaching the Tokyo Open on the 8th.
