Chapter 30: 30:Comrcial District
[9:54 a.m]
Checking the ti, Raymond wasn’t surprised to find he was late for the day.
The ’rest your eyes after waking up’ ga was deadly and Raymond was suffering its consequences.
Not that Raymond had any intentions of going today anyways.
Right now, all the students were diligently learning at the academy. Wasn’t this the perfect opportunity to go shopping?
With all the points he had at his disposal. He was nearly unable to sleep at night—constantly tossing and turning in his bed.
The thought of what to buy and what to eat was enough to make him positively giddy.
Donning so casual clothes, he left his apartnt and started walking towards the comrcial district.
The academy grounds were essentially split into three distinct sections.
First, was the academy— all of the dorms, halls, training grounds. For learning and training.
Then, the comrcial district—malls, plazas, parks and recreational areas. So that students wouldn’t go insane from essentially being locked inside the academy grounds all year round.
Lastly, the nature district—the mountain, forests, lake and beach were all a part of this.
With how large the academy grounds were, it took him nearly half an hour of walking just to get to the comrcial district from the academy.
Walking through the plaza, Raymond took a deep breath. Catching the aromas from several stalls, cafes and bakeries.
He could sll a comforting, deep, buttery aroma. A savory, intense, spice filled aroma. The comforting sll of roasted coffee.
Buying a mocha and a chocolate pastry from a random street side cafe. He took in the sights—the soft glow of the morning light, barely peeking through the cloudy sky. The quiet of the morning, with the occasional sounds of people.
Handing him his coffee, his barista said. "Its such a nice day today isn’t it?"
"Really nice day. I’m glad I decided to skip today." Raymond replied.
"Skip? Skipping class costs quite a lot of points you know, it’s not worth it in the long run."
"Nah it’s fine, I got the points. "
She asked, "You’re a first year right? Top 100?"
Raymond nodded, "Yep, how’d you know?"
She leaned over the counter slightly, "I guessed, I’ve never seen your face before. Plus only soone with a decent amount of points would skip. But hey if you’re a new student, interested in joining my club?"
Raymond raised an eyebrow, "You’re a third year?"
Students had to be at their third year minimum if they wanted to create a club and second year minimum to hold any positions in any club.
She pointed at her na tag pinned on her uniform, " Willow Francesca, I’m a third year. President of the Coffee Club, we mainly just hold gatherings to drink coffee and chat. There’s only fourteen of us in the club so it’s a pretty small club."
Well, Raymond did put it in his list to make so friends. Wasn’t this the perfect opportunity?
"Sure why not, I’ll apply when the club registration starts on Saturday. My na’s Raymond Vance."
Willow held out her hand, smiling brightly. "Glad to have you aboard then, I look forward to seeing you there Raymond. "
He shook it, that’s one thing he could check off his list. It seed like it had only ever grown in size so this was the perfect opportunity to finally tick sothing off.
"By the way, if you’re a student as well. Why are you here rather then at class?
