Chapter 1: Last Stride

My last stride was with my teammates.

Now I'm never participating in another Stride ever again.

Nozomi "Aya" Ayano used to be part of the Stride Club, participating as one of its parkouring members. She left immediately after the other two. the last words she stated to Heath,

"I'm never entering another Stride Competition again. Nor being anywhere near it."

That was one year ago.

But that competition between her old members and freshman has raised her blood again.

"I will defeat you, Takeru-san."
