Chapter 57.3 - Lord of Clay # 3

In the dark room, a man was watching TV, even though it was daylight because the lights were not turned on. Occasionally light bursting out of the CRT was the only light in the room. The man's face was sloppy and sluggish, and the TV was adjusted low.

Only the volume of his and his chosen breaths were mixed. It was about to be reminiscent of the race called Hikikomori, which became a hot topic in Japan.

Game Ujin Han, 3-3! … Love All, Radal Serving Play!]

The room was so quiet that even the TV sound almost dropped on the floor was clearly heard. As the man suddenly reached out to a nearby bucket to quench his thirst, the bluish hues of tennis courts

Stripped the darkness that was hidden.

A potted ball.

Vivid cheekbones.

Black shades cast around the eyes.

Choi Yeon-hyuk, a man in the room, had a face that seemed to bury three letters.

'… Hou, I'm tired. '

Not really, but he was really tired. I couldn't afford to take care of myself because of my participation in the Australian Open. If it is a competition where you can go around domestic and overseas and accumulate points, you have submitted an application form. I'm

He finished the week earlier than Hanwoojin and gave him a break. Fatigue had to build up.

But only his eyes were shining blue. As if to eat two players moving inside the TV, the brown iris moved around on the blood-stained eye.

Then suddenly the door opened.

"History, you'll be tired, don't you sleep? Why did you turn it off? "

Choi was a dedicated agent, Choi Jun Sung. He looked in the dark room and looked at Choi Yeon-hyuk leaning on the sofa with a puzzled face. Choi Yeon-hyuk returned to his voice without looking back.

"I turned it off because I had a little tingling. If you don't turn it on, you won't have any trouble watching TV. "

"If you do that… But what are you up to?

As Choi approached with a stupid look, Choi Yeon-hyuk pointed to TV with a light glance instead of an answer. Choi Jun-seong, who followed his eyes, soon discovered why he was watching the broadcast.

"Sydney International? Oh, this is Woojin's game! Let's see Your opponent… La, Radal ?! "

"Would it be worth taking?"

Radal's name went everywhere.

Choi Joon-sung naturally came across the sofa and hung his butt next to Choi Yeon-hyuk. Han Woo-jin's game was also an interesting factor, but it was hard to be indifferent that the opponent was Gradal, the king of clay court. Two people side by side

Sit and gaze at the dizzying TV screen.

Therefore, Choi could not realize. Choi Yeon-hyuk's eyes staring at Hanwoojin in the screen sinks darkly. He alternated between Radal and Hanwoojin, reflecting on previous humiliation.

Kuwook…

At the moment Choi's fist was firmly shut, Radall was preparing for the third serve of the seven games in CRT.

* * *

'Damn, it's hard when Radal starts holding the serve.'

Hanwoojin swallowed dry saliva by sweeping sweat bubbles down his cheekbones. As the large clouds passed, the shadows that had been cast for a while cooled off the already damp hair. He's already got Radal all three sub-games close

I allowed it with a luck score.

"… Isn't this the same thing? "

I was aware of the reason for the allowance. Hanwoojin knew how notorious Radall's serve was, but this was the first time he had experienced it. In addition, Radal's video he referred to was mostly from Claycott,

Bound on the site had one more float than clay.

Although the rebound ace is one of the most cushioning materials in hard coat material, it's not much of a clay coat. Radall's powerful serve was lower than Clay but bound faster.

It was not enough to penetrate Hanwoojin's gap.

But that's not what Radal's serve is all about. Maybe it's an unexpected income. In Clay, the bizarre height bounds change the shape from hard to high speed low bound.

Again, the serve was shot from Radal's racket. It was a smash hit hard.

Paaang!

Outstanding muscular strength and incomparable muscular strength proved how ridiculous Radar's physical performance was. The average player didn't know that the GangServ would lose power after one or two strokes. Just service ace

I've never aimed, but the score rolls freely.

But what time is it this time? Han Woo-jin wasn't willing to be attacked by orthodox attacks during the three games. The points taken away were only paving stones for subsequent rally.

'I can see it now.'

Bound error, change of track due to top spin, slow down of ball due to material of coat. Hanwoojin, who observed several games of Radal, famous for being the strongest top-spin sub-user, wasn't a normal player.

Paang!

The bounds were so fast that there was no time to deal with complex technology. Hanwoojin dropped the racket as soon as he read the track. The recoil, which bounced off the ball almost at the same time as the arm extended, rang the wrist.

phut! Paang! phut!

A tangled ball adds speed. I might have slowed down at least once, but neither knew how to back off. The fight back and forth because of the damage to the first step back.

"큿."

Between the lips of Hanwoojin exhaled exhaled unknowingly. Too fast Some of the opponents were more than just Radal to compare the speed of the serve, but this was the first time that a sharp bounce with no gaps flew in succession. Radal

The reason for being strong in the rally will be evidence that it is not only because of strength.

Huung!

In the 11th stroke, Woo Woo-jin's racket split in the air. The ball gushing out of the coat and missed his range a few steps.

"Forty Love (40: 0)!"

The voice of heartless referee declared Radal's goal. Han Woo-jin headed to the corner to wipe away the sweat that had not been wiped out. I rubbed my forehead and nose with a towel, and then took a sip of water from the bucket. Usually maintained in 2 or 3 game units

Rally with Radal was intensely exhausted, so that Hanwoojin can drink water from time to time.

'It's really crazy. It's an iron wall with no holes for one needle. '

I wanted Radal not to be the strongest player in defensive tennis. Even if I stab a coat anywhere, I jump quickly and kick it, and I do not give a room of words here. Is it because you are convinced that you will win if you keep sticking to it? A final blow

I don't write a ball that I can call once, but I get points easily.

This is probably Radal's unique style. There is no need to shake your opponent by force. If you replace it, you won't fall first, so just keep your pace, waiting for your opponent's suicide.

"This is also malicious in a different way than Roger."

Hanwoojin, who swallowed the water, laughed bitterly and mumbled. Perhaps because they had faced both, his feelings were alive.

Roger, for example, lets the other person feel the difference between 'the rage'. The person who feels it loses his motivation, realizes that he has no chance and loses his confidence completely. Unshakeable mentality is essential when dealing with Roger.

Was the reason.

Radall's style was completely different from Roger. He even gives the impression that he is surprising. As the rally goes on, I continue to give and receive the ball, and I lose points with a feeling of 'unfortunate'.

'The problem is that the development repeats endlessly.'

The result is the same no matter how many times you try. Without the means to break down Radal's rally, points are lost in the same way, a hundred times a thousand times. It didn't take long to realize that the gaps that looked tiny were absolute. The difference between a sheet of paper that is not narrowed is absolute regardless of its width.

Radal took a stance with no time to clear up his thoughts. He lowered his body and tossed the ball up.

Paaang!

Still a hard shot hit. However, Radal's serve was not a difficult kind. He was the type that favored the subsequent rally through the serve rather than the service ace.

Hanwoojin also returned Radal's serve neatly this time, and the rally unfolded like before.

2, 5, 6, 8, 11 Psychological warfare is indisputable physical confrontation. Striking and giving up a two-handed blow, battering hell does not stop hitting until the opponent collapses. And as before, Hanwoojin side first showed a gap.

Paang!

Driven like a snake, the drive swung down the sideline on Hanwoo's side. The ball, which bounced like a boomerang, bounced in the opposite direction from where he stood, and there was no room for response.

"Game Radal, 4-3! Court Change! "

Defending each other's own sub-games thoroughly defense. No matter how aggressive you go, you can't talk without breaking down the walls of Radal. From the moment I got Radal's top spin serve, I'm not going to come back.

It is.

'It's not a ball you can hit as a slugger.'

[Stranger] was a character who aimed at a big room. It wasn't a good fit for something like Radall's serve that could be breathed out. I've tried it already, but it's as if a ball from a lightly racquet hits a home run.

Flew to the stone floor.

Special technology was not much different either. The stinger was a serve and the slug was not given a chance to use it. Radall struck out the forehand backhand thoroughly, and Bounce bounced low. In fact, this game is a smash

The poem never came out.

It was the voice of grim judgment that cut off the thought of Han Woo-jin who continued to bite his tail.

"Game 8! Ujin Han Serving Play! "

His serve game is back. Han Woo-jin fumbled over the handed ball and grabbed a good feeling. Anyway, like any ball, the players had their own habit of having Jinx.

'Where are you now?'

Hanwoojin's eyes subsided. He has kept the whistle score while exchanging sub-games until now, but he realized that it was difficult to continue the confrontation structure from the 6th game.

Radal even started catching up with his trumping stinger and almost catching up at the last point. Losing the Stinger's obvious scoring ability, now believes in the sub game's advantage, but it's a bit burdensome

It was.

But there was one technique I hadn't tried yet.

'[Struck].'

[Increases Strength Stat by 3 for 1 stroke]

[Applied to the serve. The restraint of the serve increases.]

[1 second stiffness will be charged immediately after stroke]

No matter how many times I use the rising message, it's always the same.

Now, after passing through three lines of text that can be read without reading, Han Woo-jin has been prepared for the technology that has supported his sub-game so far.

It's a combination of a slugger and a stinger that I only thought of in my mind.

Then the first reminder came to mind.

[Applied to 'Stinger'. SP consumed is doubled.]

[Currently, cool time applies to 'Stinger'. "Stinger" will be disabled for 2 points.]

[If the service ace is established, the penalty applied will be reduced to 50%.]
