And before Klaus could notice, the day of the trip to the NIST Tournament finally arrived.
Since all the competitions needed to take place in one place and most of them promised to draw a lot of attention, especially since they had the biggest talents in the country, it needed to take place in a place that could support the high demand of public and sports arenas without hindering the dynamics of the city.
Therefore, the place that best fit all these minimum requirements was Los Angels, California, a city used to many events and many people.
New York was certainly a good choice too, but weather and traffic were determining factors for Hónghé Holdings and NIST choosing not to host the event there.
So Klaus and all 500+ New York State Special Program students who were going to compete or be part of the organization had to travel to the other side of the country to compete.
