Weather: Clear. Hiroichi checked his watch and looked up at the large building in front of him. Well, it was more like two buildings with a shared common area. The dorms were arranged in cardinal directions, with the West facing building being the girl's dormitory and the East facing building being the boy's dormitory. The dorms themselves were pretty cushy, another enjoyable perk being connected with the hospital. The shared common area had multiple areas for students to sit, study, and even a kitchen area if they felt inclined enough to cook. Hiroichi scoffed at the idea of high schoolers wanting to cook for one another, but that wasn't his business. The student rooms were also comfortable, albeit bare. Students would have to decorate their room themselves, but each room had a desk to study or read, a bed, shelves to decorate, and even a small television. If they wanted to play games on them or watch movies, they'd have to purchase those items in town.
Hiroichi waited around in the lobby for his assigned group of boys. They were all supposed to meet up at 11 AM, and it was almost meeting time. The girls would also meet their dorm advisor as well. Hiroichi hadn't had a chance to really talk to her, but he knew she was the school counselor.
Watching after a bunch of kids with a woman, huh? Kind of like I was married-nah, don't even start thinking that kind of stupid crap... After waiting for a while, the chosen time had come: the group of boys had gathered in the dorm, sitting on some of the couches or standing. Hiroichi fixed his glasses on his nose, and decided to start off his schpeel:
"Alright everyone, I'm your dorm advisor, and I'll probably be teaching a lot of you guys as well. I'm Hiroichi Yamada, and you're all in my care this year." He eyed the group of boys; most looked typical for a high school, but some stood out. Foreigners, kids of mixed descent, or just some weird punks.
"The school's pretty lax about what you do after school. A lot of students here work part-time jobs in the city for extra money. Even then, curfew is at 11:00 unless you've got documentation from a job. Just follow the rules and don't cause me too much trouble, and we'll all get along." Hiroichi fidgeted with his glasses again, before remembering:
"Oh! Here are your room keys." He handed out the keys to each of the boys. 3rd years got the 1st-floor rooms, 2nd years on the 2nd floor, and 1st years on the 3rd, just like at the school.
"Everyone should have their own rooms. If you're missing anything, just let me know. My room will be on the first floor with 3rd-year students. Alright, you guys have the day to yourselves! Introduce yourselves to your classmates, go check out the town or take a nap. I'm gonna go unpack." He walked off to his own room to set his stuff down for now. This was going to be a long year in the country, he could feel it.
