Chapter 57.2 - Lord of Clay # 2

Radall was not surprised at all when he heard Hanwoojin's voice. He understood the feelings of the opponents in front of him very well, and he was one of the few strong men who could not die with the name Roger.

Radal was calmly reading him through Hanwoojin's response.

'I still don't know.'

In Radal's deep orbit, both eyes slowly swam. An iris wriggled like a fish in the deep sea read a lot from Hanwoojin's expression. He lowered his chin and shook his arm.

"It's not such an amazing story. Roger, I have a lot of things to hit with him. As a result, we talked about each other occasionally, and in the meantime, Mr. Han's story came out a little. "

Indeed it makes sense. Han Woo-jin did not nod innocently, but he was convinced about half of his heart. As Radall just mentioned, the top rankers were very often encountered at least a few times a year and as many as ten times a year.

'In addition to the Grand Slam, the masters (ATP1000) series below will overlap. At least 10 times in the same competition. Besides, if it's Radal, it's not strange to meet Roger every time.

Grand Slam, the premier stage for all tennis players around the world, consists of four tournaments. The tournaments, held at different times in the four countries of the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, and France,

It would have a big impact on the good ATP ranking.

And it wasn't just because of the 2000 ranking points given to the winner. As with any sport, the quantitative rankings deteriorate from the moment the crossroads exist. ATP is also concerned about such side effects

We set a series of constraints on the top ranking players.

There are exactly two kinds of ATP rankings, and the general ATP rankings that people know are called [ATP Entry Systems]. However, the above-mentioned "pharmaceutical" was more related to the settlement method than the [entry system].

'You must have hit it again and again because of the ATP champion race. Did you have a Masters series recently? I may have met you then. '

[Champion Race], a vicious settlement system that resets all players' ranking points to zero as the season begins.

At the end of the season, the player with the highest score was the world's number one player, and he was able to add up points from only 18 of his competitions that year. Regardless of the level or scale of the competition, the highest point

It was also possible to pick and add only the contest that was won.

However, the only provision that followed turned Champion Champs into the Colosseum of the rankers. As a result, ATP rankings gained credibility, and no one can compare No. 1 to an arrogant who collected only points.

The provisions are as follows.

[Only those who have a high ranking enough to participate in the Grand Slam (4) and the Masters Series (9) of the 18 tournaments will necessarily reflect the results of these 13 tournaments. If not, one of the 18 points will be treated as 0 points.

It is not possible to substitute a zero point treatment for the tournament.]

In short, it's impossible to collect points while taking a leisurely round of tournament schedules to improve your rankings. Because of this clause, top rankingers must voluntarily compete against those who are equal or better than themselves.

Only did. Indeed, gladiators put a drain behind the price.

It was even more so if you were a top-ranker like Roger or Radal. It is basically that they participate in almost all 13 competitions, and this is a story that can only be seen from the list of participants of the Australian Open. The big four, as well as the top ten rankingers have expressed their intention to participate four or more.

to be.

But even then, it was a curious thing. Han Woo-jin wanted to hear even the conversation Radal called "chit-chat". He was also a tennis player, who was on the lookout and evaluation of others. Listen to the Emperor's evaluation.

W I was interested enough to hear.

But Radall quickly picked up another topic. For Hanwoojin, it was never a welcome topic.

"I heard that the association's staff went around last evening. Did you get well, Mr. Han? "

""… Mr. Radal. "

Hanwoojin's face hardened. Words that say you aren't sure of your innocence are rumored to add weight. If a figure about Radal puts it in his mouth, the wavelength would not be what he expected. Poker Fe that was hardened like a mask

Isma even squeaked.

Rather, he looked embarrassed. It wasn't like this, but it seemed to me. He hurriedly flipped his right forearm forward to Hanwoojin. Han Woo-jin was surprised at how Radall wasn't upset.

His eyes fell privately.

'uh?'

On the copper skin he touched, there was a point where it was slightly swollen like a mosquito bite. It's as if you had recently gotten a needle. .

"Radal, don't you?"

"Well, it's a familiar thing. Probably because I came to check Mr. Han. It's not a day or two that I've been tested unexpectedly. "

Radal scratched the back of his head with a hazy face. It was a shame that he misunderstood him by weighing and acting for nothing. Han Woo-jin just loosened his face and opened his mouth.

"Hey, I just thought Mr. Radal thought I was doping."

"Well, I didn't mean to. I wouldn't be able to. "

""Well?""

The expression was a bit strange. What did you say that there was no problem before? Han Woo-jin looked at Radal with a suspicious face. Then he added the reason as if it weren't much.

"'Roider is teeming unexpectedly. Not only looks but also moving. In fact, the test also convinces him with physical evidence. Eight out of ten people are loyal when they first suspected it. "

"Are we the other two?"

""haha! That's what happens again. It's not wrong. I didn't just say that for that reason. "

""then?""

Han Woo-jin, who was really curious, threw the door immediately. It was a quick question that I realized only after speaking. Radall, however, anticipated the question and returned it at a rate no less than that.

"The player that Roger might be interested in can't be that kind of human. Besides, I am also interested in Mr. Han.

"I don't know for myself, is there any reason? I don't think I'm a funny person. "

Even though it was magnetic, Han Woo-jin was serious. His observation was not only directed at others. He was also very good at considering himself.

He was conscious of the inferiority he possessed and the lack of sociality that resulted from the lack of talent. Therefore, he could not think that there would be an element of interest to geniuses.

"I don't know if it's a coincidence, but it's no different than what Roger told me. Perhaps this is the charm of Mr. Han. "

"What is that… ""

"'Radal! What are you doing there? "

Suddenly there was a loud shout. Unlike Hanwoojin, who was frightened, Radal woke up from a cold sweat. Perhaps the blond man calling him on the square was pretty scary.

Radal asked for a handshake by tapping the racket bag that was hanging on his left index finger.

"'Oh, I have to go. Let's talk about this, Mr. Han. "

""… Yes. I'll see you again soon. "

"'A short farewell. then!""

Radall ran like a wind despite its huge size and disappeared far away. Han Woo-jin realized that the shade of parasol had moved to a certain place and realized the passage of time. He seemed to be focusing more on talks with Radal than he thought.

Hanwoojin looked at Radal's back, which is now almost invisible, and muttered in a quiet voice.

"It looks like a storm passed."

Duff, a blond man wearing Vante's glasses deeply, fired his gun at Radal as he approached. It was a little different from scolding a player who behaved freely. They started talking as if they were giving or receiving something.

"What do you know when you meet? "I can't feel it at all by just looking at my profile."

Duff's voice was frowned upon unknowingly. Radall has never seen the word "I don't know" once upon seeing his video or data.

By the way, do you think there's a sound to the bottom of a Korean dark horse? The guy who said that he had eaten but caught persimmon when he met Roger? Even if it's not the main clay court, it's not a feeling that will make you dull.

That's why rationalist and principled Duff allowed Radal to meet Hanwoojin just before the match.

But the answer, which was not what was expected, returned. Radal shook his head with his weak face and palms to the sky. Wherever anyone sees the meaning of the gesture was.

"No, I don't know at all."

"Then why are you going to meet me ?!"

"Wow, don't be so furious. Isn't it strange that I found out at once that Roger didn't know? "

""What? Roger? Hey, what are you saying now? ""

Duff started yelling that he hadn't heard such a sound, but Radal's ears, which had been trained for everyday life, naturally spilled the sound from one side to the other. He neatly ignores the outside turmoil and just faces

I recalled the figure of the Asian player.

'Mr. Han, it was definitely a strange player.'

Most players have an atmosphere that suits their style and ability. Roger had the unique pressure of the emperor and the overwhelming air of his breath. Roddick had a light and powerful wind like a strong sub. Radar's keen sense of smell so far

There was not enough to appreciate their true worth.

But there was no harvest today. Han Woo-jin did not smell anything. The sharp-eyed pupils were amazing, but they felt almost like plastic with a metallic texture.

Was there an unknown word fear?

That was literally. Normally afraid or anxious was a natural player. When you look in, empty air welcomes you. The floor is not visible to the culprit. In a sense, Han Woo-jin was a unique character.

But genius has always been synonymous with monsters. For them, the ideal is natural. As Roger did before, the genius of Radal was also attracted to the "weird" being Han Woo-jin.

Crunchy.

A light whistle comes from the fist that you do not know. Radal noticed that his usual vitality circulated through the body at more speed. A phenomenon in which a heightened spirit is engaged with the body to achieve synergy.

Best Condition.
