Kagura Hikaru checked his phone and only then realized that the mountain had a name, Tanigawa-dake.
The name was quite elegant, unfortunate that it was not fully developed.
There were only very rough stone steps on the mountain, built who knows how many years ago, with no safety railings. The hiking trail was not particularly safe, and Teacher Yamazaki repeatedly reminded everyone to be careful not to fall off; a slip could lead to trouble.
The terrain outside the stone stairs was rather steep, with many trees and loose stones. One misstep could result in a fall, likely causing injury in the blink of an eye.
"And, you might step on a snake," Teacher Yamazaki added mischievously.
Hearing there were snakes, the students immediately scanned the ground and their surroundings in fear, dreading that a snake might suddenly jump out and bite them.
After over an hour, they finally reached the peak, which was a relatively spacious flat area.
