Episode 5

"Hmm, yes, tomorrow I return to school, yet I possess no uniform or daily attire. I must seek out a store to purchase what's required," Ferzo stated. However, he also needed to bathe to lessen the overpowering scent that clung to him due to wearing the same unwashed clothes all day, for he owned but a single outfit tightly bound to his skin.

After his shower, Ferzo put on his clothes once more.

Ferzo retrieved his money from the system and slid it into his pants pocket. He then walked out, locking his boarding room behind him, and set off in search of a clothing store.

Thirty minutes later, he arrived at a shop that sold school uniform supplies and, with a grin, approached the deserted establishment.

"Sir, I'd like to purchase an L-sized school uniform, size 37 shoes, and a bag," Ferzo requested.

"Just a moment," the shop owner replied as he rifled through piles of various uniforms before searching for shoes and grabbing a bag suspended from the ceiling.

"Here are the items," said the store owner.

"How much for all of this, sir?" Ferzo inquired as he inspected the uniform in his hands.

The man muttered to himself as he calculated the total.

"320,000," the owner announced.

"I'll take them," Ferzo nodded. The owner bagged the items in plastic. Ferzo pulled out his money and handed it to the shopkeeper.

"Thank you," the man said, receiving the cash and handing over the plastic bag.

"You're welcome." Ferzo then exited the store.

Continuing on, Ferzo looked for additional school supplies, namely books and pens.

Not far from the uniform shop, he found a stationery store. Entering, Ferzo said, "Excuse me, I'd like a dozen notebooks and a dozen pens."

The clerk fetched Ferzo's request.

"How much?" Ferzo asked.

"All together, 80,000," the clerk responded.

Ferzo handed over a 100,000 bill, and received 20,000 in change.

"Thank you," Ferzo said, collecting his books and pens, despite the clerk's lack of friendliness.

[Your remaining balance is 250,000]

Afterward, Ferzo stumbled upon a clothing store and decided to stop by.

He selected two sets of clothes, opting for the cheapest yet decent options simply to have something to wear.

"How much for these?" Ferzo inquired after choosing.

"Hmm... 100,000," the store owner answered. Ferzo dug into his pocket, handed over the money, and took his new clothes.

He felt a surge of happiness at acquiring new garments and all things fresh; he returned home smiling.

The next day.

Bright morning rays casting UV light seeped through the cracks of the house, awakening Ferzo from his slumber. He swiftly grabbed a towel and rushed to bathe.

Ferzo rose early, a glow of happiness radiated from his face. No fear, no sadness, no overthinking plagued him anymore. The system had slowly restored his confidence. Departing for school, his smile was wide.
