The narrator tells us that he's been hanging out at the bank for a week now, and his favorite thing to do is to go to the bakery and order some bread. He's not sure if he'll be able to make it in time for the bakery's opening, but he likes the idea of being able to order an adult loaf of bread. The narrator says that he doesn't want to be a bread-eater, but that he likes to live his life the way he likes it. He praises Ray for his performance in the prelims, and says he expects great things from him in the national tournament as well. He says that Ray is what the academy had , and that's why he expects so much from him. He adds that Ray's strength isn't about the strength of the bundle, but about the respect of the anchor player. Ray says he'd rather have days like this than the days he had as a student. He thanks the narrator for taking him on as an advisor, and tells him that he can even take him back to school now that he has been with the bank. He tells the narrator that it's great to have him as an adviser, because he has had a lot of fun since then. He also says that the bank is not in a position to hire someone like Ray, because they don't know who to hire to train him as a pro. He asks the narrator if he can buy some bread, and the narrator says he can only buy one loaf at a time. He goes on to say that the only thing he loves is the mat ter, which he bought for himself.
