Minoru smiled back. “I mean, if you’re being technical, what I do is more freerunning than parkour. But, eh, it’s all fun!”
Parkour was more efficient, focusing more on clearing obstacles than on the body’s ability to move. (The latter was definitely Minoru’s primary motivation.) Both arts had a lot of the same techniques, but any fancy acrobatic tricks belonged to the freerunner. As in, why take time to hop on the next bench just to run along the back of it and jump to the next table, when you could just quickly and easily vault completely over it?
The plaza, filled with chairs, tables, trees, walls, half-walls, railings, a fountain, etc., made for a delightful obstacle course. And Minoru was more than happy to lead his newest friend through it. Flips, tricks and the like were definitely encouraged!
