Focus

Despite the speculation, Klaus knew he needed to focus on the Individual Archery Tournament. He could not let the rumors get to him, for his performance depended on his mind.

As he prepared for the competition, Klaus took a moment to reflect on his journey thus far. He never expected that his actions in Rise Online could blend with his real life in this way, because he created Kaizen as a way to escape all of this, as a way to hide. However, he never hid his face when he didn't have to, so he didn't regret it so much, because the way out of this situation was not to reveal to the world that he played RO, because maybe there was another way.

Anyway, Klaus didn't have much time to think about it. Backstage at the Staples Center, in one of the private rooms with a holographic shooting booth, Klaus was training hard for his next and main challenge of the NIST Tournament.
