Due to budget cuts/lack of interest/a tragic 'accident', we don't meet the minimum required class size for this class, and the only available teacher only has this one spot free on his schedule, so you will be taking a shared class with students from the other school, located on neutral ground (a shitty wooden shed just a few meters away from No Man's Land).
