"That should be all of the clothes I need to bring"
Clay nodded as he patted his hands.
'How do I carry the bag though, hmm'
Clay inspected the bag. Normally the pouches he used only had one strap to put around a person's chest, but in this case, his bag has two, so Clay wore the bag like how he wore the one-strap pouches.
'This doesn't feel right' Thought Clay as he wore the bag on his back with the straps crossing over each other forming an X cross on his chest.
'Maybe this is how I should wear it?'
This time the bag was properly equipped on his bag with each strap going over each arm.
'This feels more comfortable than before so I guess it's supposed to be worn like this'
'Well, that's all I needed to prepare... I think... Ah! My maps, how could I forget' Clay facepalmed, he has been forgetting about his maps lately and it was getting on his nerves a little bit.
'Should I put my maps inside the bag or inside my inventory, hmm, meh, I already bought a bag to hide my inventory function from other people so why not use my inventory this time since my maps are relatively more important to me than some clothes, I need some money as well for emergencies, and money is quite important so those go in my inventory too'
'System, store these items' Clay placed his hands on top of the items he wanted to store in his inventory and called out to the system.
A pitch-black portal appeared and absorbed the items inside it. Clay checked his inventory to make sure the items were there.
'I still don't trust this new system, but I'm willing to give it the benefit of doubt... Alright my items are all there, that's good, it's also good that I can store non-system related items, that really helps a lot'
'And that should be all of it, I can finally go to sleep, I can't wait to see the academy, I hope there's tons of food there too' Clay yawned as he lay on his bed after washing his face.

It was morning and the sun rays were passing through the window nearly blinding Clay who had just opened his eyelids prompting him to roll over with a tired groan.
He couldn't sleep a lot last night as he was too excited, he could still function well though as his strengthened body doesn't require that much rest.
'Today's the day I'm leaving home' Clay was getting a little emotional.
'Meh, I can come back again so it doesn't really matter, but I'm definitely gonna be away from home for at least one day, it could even be a week depending on how fast I make the map'
Clay sat up and stretched as he got off the bed.
Judging by how high the sun was in the sky, Clay figured that there were about 4 hours left till the appointed time to leave.
He then washed up and went to the kitchen to eat breakfast, which was really just plain bread.
"Hmm, I wonder if I can buy food from the system, that's gonna be awesome if I could. I'm craving for some chicken so I guess I'll search that"
'System, open shop and search for roast chicken'

"What's up with the letter U and numbers beside it?" He tapped on the first of the list.

"This one has rice, that's the same thing me and Josh ate at the restaurant, right? The price is also the same" Clay nodded as he gulped. Apparently, reading food names can make you salivate.
'Maybe I should buy this for Belle and Mom, I don't think they have tasted rice yet. Yeah, let's do that' Clay tapped on yes.
[Yes/No]
Clay tapped on yes again.
One bright light later.
Clay's eyes shone as he saw the perfectly roasted chicken on a plate and right beside it was another plate that had rice on it, but this rice wasn't black like the one he ate in the restaurant, it was white instead.
Clay swallowed a mouthful of saliva as the smell tickled his nostrils.
"Clay? What's that smel-, oh where did you get that from?" Mrs. Mapa got curious about the smell and asked Clay.
"Woah, what's that smell?" Belle also appeared.
"I got this from the system shop, you guys should eat it before it gets cold" Clay smiled proudly.
Mrs. Mapa's eyes widened.
"Tell me you didn't waste your SC on food, Clay, you shouldn't spend it on food, those are really expensive" Mrs. Mapa scolded Clay.
"But they only cost 2 SC? How is that expensive?" Clay asked, clearly confused.
"What do you mean only 2 SC? They cost at least 100 SC to buy" This time it was Mrs. Mapa's turn to be confused.
"Wait what?" Clay tilted his head.
