"Good morning teachers and students, welcome back to the school. For those who are starting a brand new life with us, we warmly welcome you to be part of Eitsuma Middle School."

This spring, Eitsuma Middle School welcomes its new batch of first year students into the school in the year 2016.

Eitsuma Middle School, a school built for children from impoverished families, located at the foot of an extremely remote mountain in the outskirts, it is often called the Mountain Foot Middle School. Eitsuma Middle School was founded in 1950, it has a history of more than sixty years. During this period, in order to prevent the humid air in the mountains and the forests from corroding the school building and causing the school to collapse, the school repeatedly raised funds to repair the school building. However, even with a long history and shabby school buildings, poor families on the outskirts of this area are still willing to send their children to this school.

In terms of classes, due to there are not many teachers willing to teach in such a poor school, there are only three classes in one grade with only about fifteen students in each class. This year as usual, in Eitsuma Middle School, the students in each grade are divided into three classes. The third year students are divided into Class 3-1, Class 3-2, Class 3-3; The second year students are divided into Class 2-1, Class 2-2, Class 2-3; And the new enrolled first year students are divided into Class 1-2, Class 1-3, Class 1-4.

Of course, each of the class has a teacher in-charge of the class. Most teachers decide to stay in the school dormitory. After all, the school is seated at the foot of a mountain, everyone has to go through the woods back and forth. Almost all teachers have to enter the school at dawn and leave after the evening. Therefore, even if the dormitories are old and shabby, in order to assure their own safety, the teachers prefer to live in the dormitories provided by the school. During the beginning of this semester, the school welcomes a new teacher. Same as the rest of the teachers in Eitsuma Middle School, he decided to move into the school dormitory.
