Test of courage (2)
Fifteen minutes had passed. All the students and ten teachers of Xing Xian school were almost to the top of the mountain.
The mountain was not very high. Therefore, they didn’t spend much time getting to the top.
The mountain was covered with trees, but it was not deserted. There were convenient man-made steps that led up to the top where He Yang shrine was.
All the students and teachers had their own flashlights in their hands.
Up on the mountain, it was so dark, flashlights were necessary. Without them, they would not have been able to walk around in the forest, let alone reach the top.
Even though there were steps to take, people might have fallen if they lost their footing.
“We’ll stop here. All of you will go for the test one pair at a time. You can freely choose your partner by yourself, and your partner doesn’t have to be of the same gender.”
