The day progressed, and night began to fall on the city. Across Paris, in a luxurious meeting room, Lyra, a former Hyper Dash champion, was watching a series of videos of potential young athletes. She was now coach of Éclats de Nexus, a semi-professional team looking for new talent for future regional competitions.
She scrutinized the footage of one Dasher in particular that one of her cameras had recorded, a well-built young man. His movements were a little messy, but there was something special about the way he moved. A touch of ingenuity, as if he understood exoskeleton technology beyond human capabilities. Through some research she found her information.
Lyra : "Ren, is that it?"
asked Lyra, consulting the information sheet with a smile on her mouth. She took a deep breath. If her instincts weren't wrong, this young man might just be the team's missing piece. She stood up from her seat, her eyes lighting up.

Ren stopped, out of breath, in his garage. His heart was racing, the adrenaline still coursing through his body. He had passed his test.
Ren: "I think I'm going to get addicted to this feeling."
But at that precise moment, his terminal vibrated. it was a message.
"Let me introduce myself, I am Lyra, team coach : "Éclats de Nexus" Ren, we saw your demonstration. And we are interested in giving it a try. Come join us tomorrow at our headquarters if you are interested. "
The words flashed on the screen. It was Lyra, a former champion who had retired due to injury. Ren stood frozen. A mixture of shock and excitement flooded his mind. He had never imagined that a simple test in an alley could lead to such an opportunity, he couldn't believe his eyes...but he who was looking for opportunities finally saw a glimmer of hope.
Ren: "The universe has finally heard my prayers... HAHAHA!"
Ren (looking at his exoskeleton): "a new adventure awaits us my friend... I'm counting on you to support me"
He stood up immediately, without missing a beat. It was his chance. He wasn't going to let her pass.
