Chapter 57.4 - Lord of Clay # 4

'Penalty.'

The work was done as he thought, but there was no room for joy. System abilities seemed forever uninterested to hide themselves. Han Woo-jin was flipping on the floor because of an unexpected penalty item.

I caught a ball and was in trouble.

The Stinger consumes 40 SP. When it doubles, it is 80. Skill level is steady thanks to the SP reached 870 even if Hanwoojin over 10 times the floor was a visible consumption.

Even now, even if the stinger only need to care about the formulation, the slugger was added, so even if you use it quickly, you can't handle the future.

Still, there was no breakthrough. The last reminder message mitigated some of the negative reminders that came up earlier.

Service Ace.

It was a case where the receiver could not respond because the server's sub went so strongly. It's also seen by players who serve excellent speeds and pitches and is a good way to make them feel helpless.

It is.

Hanwoojin had a high percentage of service aces in his own way. Because strength was strong, the restraint was fast, and the level of the sub skill is directly connected to the level of the sub skill. Not only fast but also difficult to make a ball, service ace conditions

It was.

Besides, if it's not a normal serve, it's a special technology called "Stinger." Roger, not Radal, or whoever comes, isn't it hard to accept?

"Okay, let's do it."

If you step away anyway, you're done. Han Woo-jin prepared. Radall was one of those players who once took the lead and never missed until the end of the game. If he steps back and tries to see the situation, he will walk forward without hesitation.

Ordered. Then retreating was not an option to choose.

barrel. barrel. barrel.

Exactly three times. The ball bounced off the same orbit without any shaking back to Hanwoojin's grip. The moment he hit the palm of his hand, he changed his posture and threw the ball up to the sky.

Pull your right foot back a little longer than you normally would, and turn your left knee forward with your toes diagonally. Stinger, a special technique that smashes the entire body, needed a solid central axis to withstand its intense rotational forces. Jun Woo Han was drunk

Visa was exactly that condition.

The muscles of the whole body were screaming, perhaps because of the synergistic effects of [Strength] and [Stranger]. Hanwoojin endured the power as much as possible, rotating the whole body at the best timing. If the timing goes a bit, unconditionally

It was a fault.

'now!'

Shortly afterwards, one of the most powerful hits ever beat Hanwoojin.

Paa Aang!

The sound didn't hurt. Han Woo-jin's gaze moved along the trajectory of the ball, which surprised him. The ball, which cut through the air, shook its head this way and the other, distorted in an oval shape. The shape of the snake looks like its prey

It reminded me of girly.

But the opponent was a superman who did not get out of his finger even if he looked around the world.

Naphael Radal, his physical wasn't clunky enough to miss a quick ball. If it's only 10km per hour and 20km per hour, you can rush to move accordingly. Of course it was never easy, but for Radal enough

It was possible.

Radal glanced at Hanwoojin in a slowly flowing world. An hour of congestion until he is used to it. It was a space created by the harmony of concentration and reflexes. Hanwoojin's serve was extremely fast, but somehow

It seemed to be able to enter within a distance.

'Surprising, Mr. Han. Are you still saving your energy? I didn't see anything like that. '

Radall, who caught the attention from the serve he judged, turned his attention to Han Woo-jin who was hiding this serve. He had no choice but to feel a strong interest in Han Woo-jin, who continued to deviate from his instincts or eyes. Watch the magic show for the first time

I felt like a kid to come.

But Radal's interest soon turned to amazement.

""… What ?! 」

Usually, the faster the object, the narrower the change. As there is a limit to the angle at which a strong cold shot is deflected, a powerful serve usually draws a trajectory close to a straight line. But Han Woo-jin's serve had deviated from the common sense.

Go straight and draw a parabola to the side out of nowhere. No matter how you spin it, you can twist the track along the way, but that makes sense?

Paaang!

In the end, Han Woo-jin's serve fell far beyond Radal's range. As expected, the error was so wide that even Radal could not cope with the provisional response. He gave the first point of eight games as an ace.

"… Fi, Fifteen Love (15: 0)! "

Emotions were mixed in the voice of the referee, who had been hard as a machine until now. However, Hanwoojin listened to the notification message that was heard before the voice.

[You have succeeded in service ace. Penalty will be reduced to 50%.]

[Special skill "Stinger" is sealed for one point.]

'After, success. If it had failed, it would have been a lot of damage since. But I put a bite on it. '

The success of this serve didn't end with just one point. Any serve that is commonly used against Radal is eaten against anyone. Although the disadvantage is that the stinger is sealed for one point afterwards, it is also a combination of pitches.

Could dissolve. In many ways, it was a room that greatly reversed the situation.

Applause was poured toward Hanwoojin who launched a service ace against Radal. It wasn't as loud as it would be in a concert hall, but it was enough to give power to the person passed to it.

Han Woo-jin, who felt better, stopped trying to smile. He was able to recognize Radal's expression over the net with his outstanding eyesight.

He was smiling.

Rather, Radal was really happy. Since the room was hit properly, even the excitement of cooling was on fire.

'Hahaha, this was it! Did Roger have eyes on Mr. Han? '

He was feeling some kind of discomfort while playing with Hanwoojin. Radal was hoping for Hanwoojin through his conversation with Roger. However, as I faced and exchanged the ball, I could not feel much better than I thought. Roger

There would be more if he was interested and watched.

Hanwoojin's skills were now used to some degree at the world level. Even if you remove all the special skills and characteristics, you can talk about the top 50 in the world rankings. At this level, it was hard to find an enemy in Asia.

Nevertheless, Radal's eyes did not occupy. He was a little disappointed by Hanwoojin just before he saw his previous serve.

"Good, very good. I'm sure you'll meet this kind of person in a contest. This time you're lucky. "

Radal laughed happily and brainwashed. In fact, there was a reason why he stepped on Australian soil at the beginning of 2007. Whatever the history of Sydney International, the level was just ATP250. It is aimed at the ranker of the world's highest level such as radal

Was inferior to.

His main goal was of course the Grand Slam, Australian Open.

Honestly, Sydney International meant nothing more than warming up. It's good to win, but it doesn't matter. The competition was held for the purpose of releasing the body in moderation. Sincerely enjoyed the opponent did not expect.

Paang!

"Forty Love (40: 0)!"

The third point is given to Hanwoo Jin's serve coming in with bitterness. Radda lightly kicked his tongue as he watched the ball go out of the racket at a close timing.

But he did not lose sight of what he saw as he became increasingly disadvantaged. What does it mean to play without having fun? It is advantageous and disadvantageous. It was a player whose sole purpose was to win Radall.

He would never have escaped clay court.

Soon after, the combination of the slugger + stinger, whose cool-time came back, struck straight into Radal's court.

"Game Ujin Han, 4-4!"

As Han Woo-jin took his sub-game, the game returned to the origin.

The score was a thorough whistle. But the reality was a little different. As time passed, Hanwoojin side was getting a little bit more. And the reason also did not have to be found so far away.

Paang!

'… Win! If you go like this, you can win! I don't know why, but Radall's defense is tight. It also becomes clearer. '

Han Woo-jin won eight games and was on the same track. It was often called flow. In addition, he began to discover subtle gaps from Radal's play in eight games.

It was hard to see the development of pure Hanwoojin. Radall's close defense to perfection was due to external factors.

phut!

""Well.""

Again my toes went out slightly. Radall frowned upon this unpleasant discomfort. The sun-heated coat hindered his movements.

The footwork was different from clay coat with stronger friction. If you're a professional player, even the slightest differences between courts can affect your skills. It was even more so for a player who specialized in one type of court like Radal.

Fully tamed sensations offer the disadvantage of being vulnerable to changes in the situation. Radall's present sense of error was just that type. He missed the ball again and again, which would have been easy without Claycott.

As a result, even the sub games that were brought into the table were braked.

Paa Aang!

After handing over the serve ticket, a unique harness popped up again. That serve, which Hanwoojin suddenly started exporting from the 8th game, had no countermeasures yet. Radall wasn't able to lose his tight balance and quickly got into trouble. In a hard coat

Weakness was a shortcoming that was revealed under one hundred days.

"Forty Fifteen (40: 15)! Set Point! "

Eventually, the first set fell into Hanwoojin's hand, which pulled out a plaque to reverse the situation at the right time.

* * *

"'Hua… Cool.""

Radal sat on the bench and took a breath. He took a sip of water as usual and swallowed it to cool down the sultry. He did not seem to get tired of his peculiar superhuman strength, but he was also a man. Like crazy

You couldn't be fine as if you were running.

After a while, he cooled his face with a towel soaked with water. There was a sense of spying, even though it was a hard court, I wanted to see the opponent who pushed me.

'I thought it was a power type, but my stamina is pretty good. I sweated but my breathing didn't get too rough. '

There was a lot to find out about it. Radal realized that it was never easy to dry a person sitting next to him.

Then, let's leave it to the emotions and play the game. Radal recalled a new party he had heard from his partner just before the match began. Unlike himself, Duff, who has a thorough computational mind, faithfully fills up what he lacks.

This was.

[Nafa, I know you're looking forward to the game against Mr. Han. But the competition we aimed for is Australian Open, not here. Once you've pulled out of here, it's hard to make two rounds on the main track.]

'Well, yes. Duff, what do you mean?

[That's the most important part. Napa, if the game is in lull for a long time, or if you lose one set and you're going to be exhausted all three. ]

"Resign, please."

abstention. It was a strange word for Radal, who didn't know how to get off the court for anything other than an injury. Although face allocation is important, he was not well known for his strength. I felt as if I was feeling low.

'Let's see you.'

Radall looked up and looked at the lower left corner of the stands. There was nothing to find here and there. Duff always settled around it.

As he glanced over, a friend with a fat look as always sat. Duff's face was no different from usual. There was no sign of saying something. If so, it's still acceptable. I was glad.

"Set 2! Player Ready! "

I still wanted to fight more.

Radal rose from his seat and looked back naturally. There stood Han Woo-jin, who inflated his arm by striking all the way through one set. I would be tired. Another problem is that the muscles get tired even when breathing remains. Supportive

I noticed that my calf is shaking.

But the eyes were different. The eyes that seemed to wait were not enough to inspire Radal.

Was there a saying that you should hear your palms as well?

'Ha, then this is a high five?'

Radal smiles with a thoughtless thought.

Han Woo-jin is just expressionless from the beginning.

Once again, the hot summer rose between the two who faced the court and tangled up.
