The half-wall was where Minoru primarily stayed, sprinting across it with relative ease. Of course, he knew he’d have to get back across the road eventually somehow…
His face lit up when he spotted his chance.
Minoru jumped from the wall onto a round metal garbage can, intentionally toppling it to the ground. For a second, it looked like he’d misjudged the distance, since he did end up with a foot on the ground for the landing. (And both hans, technically.) But no, he had it under control.
“I’ll clean it up later! Promise!” He shouted to a shocked passerby.
That type of barrel-rolling obstacle didn’t show up in this year’s American Ninja Warrior course, but it had in previous years. So this was something Minoru practiced. Balancing on the side of the can, he rolled it across the street.
As it rolled between a more narrow gap between buildings, Minoru hopped up, planting hans and feet on adjacent walls.
This might be a little slower than a normal wall climb, and he knew it might cost him the race. But any chance to work in the technique for next year’s Stage 4 climb - he was bound and determined to make it there! - as worth it. He needed to get faster on his spider climb!
