Of course Minoru enjoyed it. Watching someone else do parkour tricks was part of the fun - and provided plenty of inspiration for new moves. If they happened to be drawing attention from onlookers, so be it. It definitely wasn’t the first time. (Wouldn’t be the last either!)
Minoru was definitely a fast runner, and his jumps were good. He lost a little time in his own showing off too - from hopping up onto a ledge and dashing down that to grabbing and swinging through the gap under a rooftop water tower.
The last jump was a long one, though. The space between the buildings was more than the standard alleyway for some reason. Minoru knew that, distance-wise, it was right on the edge of his limits. Sometimes, with the right running start and the right form, he cleared it. Sometimes, he narrowly missed the ledge and ended up grasping it (or part of the fire escape - the easy way Rayan obviously didn’t use to get up there the first time) with both hands.
A fall could cost him greatly here, but so could taking the conservative route.
“Here goes everything!!” He shouted, building up speed. But experience still led him to veer toward the fire escape, to provide options in case his jump was anything less than solid.
But Minoru knew as soon as he pushed off the ledge that he was going to make it this time. Feet touched down on the other side, and he took that momentum right into a series of rolls before coming to a stop.
