The Sekai Taikai was all anyone could talk about after being informed they were being considered to attend as a dojo. There were links being shared, information being passed and if it was a school project they would all be passing. 

Cherish had yet to figure out if she was going to compete, and Miguel had asked her but all she said was she didn't know. She looked up the rules and it stated the dojo had to be entered into the competition first and once it came for the tournament the roster of the students must be given. She had time to decide but there was also no time because if she was in for the ride then it starts now, with practice.

Miguel was really the only person who knew she hadn't performed her best at the All Valley because her heart wasn't in it. Daniel only knew that competitive fighting was not her thing, but other than that he didn't know what she had done at the All Valley. No one really knew she'd lost her spot in the tournament for her well-being rather than continuing for everyone else.

"Dude, did you catch that video I sent you of last year's Sekai Taikai?" Eli asks Miguel catching him as he walks to the back of the dojo hand in hand with Cherish

Somehow the couple had matched without even trying. Miguel wore a mint green hoodie while Cherish wore a long mint green sports bra that could be seen under her unzipped burgundy sweater 

Having watched the video Miguel knew exactly what Eli was referring to, "Man who knew people could kick that high?"

"Or that hard." Robby chimes in having been walking next to them

"Dude, seriously," Eli says no longer holding any animosity toward Robby

More of the members of Miyagi-do, having been listening, join the teens in talking about what's been on everyone's mind. Sam greets everyone with a smile while saying, "That's why it's the biggest competition in the world."

"I heard last year's winners did a car commercial in Taiwan," Eli mentions with a grin knowing there were opportunities with being in the competition 

"Imagine being in a commercial." Mitch speaks up looking around "What would you do with all that money?"

"Buy a yacht with a hot tub. Fill it up with Smarties and hotties." Chris answers while doing a little dance move that makes the teens gathered around laugh
