"Aren't you going to participate in the tournament?" Miguel was confused because Dominic has been an undisputed champion since his participation in the Del Valle karate tournament, and his participation is the most anticipated.
Hawk, who was also surprised by the news, said, "You must be joking; are you really going to let go of what could be the best tournament of all time?"
"We've been champions many times; people want to see new things," Dash said while braiding his hair.
Devon, who was beside him, said, "It's not dramatic; we'll fight again in the secondary group of our dojo... We've decided not to get injured to be in the best condition and win the Senkai Tankai."
"That's insane." Tory couldn't believe what he had heard.
All the other students from the larger dojos after Sakura Bushido had been easily defeated. No one other than Dash would have a chance to beat Danny, prove he's the best, and win the tournament championship.
But now that they knew they wouldn't participate, they were shocked. Does that mean the new Cobra Kai would be the tournament champion?
No one wanted to see this, not even Dash, so he would train only the stars of each dojo if the Senseis agreed to it, of course.
"Don't take it the wrong way; believe me, it will serve you well to fight strong fighters. The reason you didn't win is that you're not familiar with street fights; random attacks tend not to follow a pattern, and you don't have experience in that," Dash explained.
Miguel, who heard this, asked, "Who here has fought on the street?"
"Devon did."
Devon looked at Dash and asked, "Wasn't that because you were getting your butt kicked?"
"Well, that gave you experience."
"I barely remember how the fight went; weren't we only eleven years old?"
Dash also didn't remember when they fought, but the important point here is the experience of street fights. "Everyone is focused on karate fights and not open to other combat styles."
"We're training Karate; how would we know about other styles if we don't plan on being professional fighters?" Hawk made a valid point in this conversation that indeed made sense.
"Danny is not an unbeatable fighter; he just won because of his experience in street fights." Dash stood up after finishing braiding his hair.
Now that he thought about it, he looked much better than Dre, who had always worn this hairstyle very impressively. At least now he didn't have to bother with his hair every time he finished training.
"If we follow Mr. Terry's plans, who took over the dojo in the easiest way possible, I'm afraid he'll start acquiring students en masse." Dash looked at his friends and began to tell them what would happen next.
To start, Terry had to buy all the Del Valle Karate dojos to increase not only the numbers of his students but also to be an extremely profitable dojo with his image.
At this point, no one could prevent this from happening since there was no possibility of stopping Terry at this moment. This involved the lives of adults; they, as students, only had to move forward.
Obviously, it's painful to lose the dojo they had always fought for to grow both in fame and quality, but now that they couldn't continue with this, it was best for everyone to forget it.
"Well, guys, good luck with all your problems. Don't forget to tell your Senseis that Sakura Bushido's doors will always be open if you want to integrate with our policies. We'll respect the price you're being charged, and for the best, there's no charge at all," Dash said as he said goodbye to his friends.
Devon, who left with Dash, asked, "Are you planning to go now?"
"Of course, I love how you can read my mind," Dash said as he put on his motorcycle helmet.
Devon smiled, put on a helmet, and after securing her backpack, got on the motorcycle to go to that great new dojo they had been talking about a lot lately.
