Now, on to the switching schools business. Makoto mentioned that he switched schools for his final year of high school, and that his parents weren’t too pleased with the idea. Normally, this sort of thing does not happen, especially not for the last year of high school, except in circumstances such as moving to a different city, or in cases where there is such an extreme problem at school (possibly very extreme bullying, for example). Makoto, being what he is, wanted to switch schools anyway, but now you know why. An opportunity such as personal training from accomplished chefs doesn’t come about every day.
