There were other storage equipment that were intended for special uses.
The potion holder that Arthur got was one such equipment. Sword Sheaths, and other weapon holders also counted in the same category. And unlike bags, these didn't have the same slot preventing any conflict.
Their function was also different usually intended for faster access to the items. Having a Sword Sheath tied to one's waist or back allowed for a faster drawing and the same applied to the potion holder.
The player could quickly get to it and drink the potion, raising their chances of survival. Even if the time difference was that of a second or less, it could still be the difference between life and death.
In tense battles, this was highly important and one needed to be as fast as possible while conserving the least amount of energy.

"Huh… Truly incompetent indeed." Arthur couldn't help but chuckle after reading the information window.
Even the Dragon's Insight Skill seems to be mocking them. And now that Arthur looks at their stats, he could tell that these were really weak. Not just the first bandit, Zeke, but the other four were of a similar level.
Not just that, all of them had HP that was not at full. Their stamina was also drained, showing that they had either been running or moving for a long time now.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU BASTARD!" The bandits didn't take Arthur's words lightly though and rushed him.
The weapons they had were lackluster too, carrying either chipped blades or axes.
~CLANG~
For Arthur, blocking it was an ease.
"Are you guys blind perhaps?" Arthur couldn't help but ask.
He held Dietrich against the rusty axe of the bandit and stopped him from coming closer.
"Tch! He's strong." The bandit said.
"Exactly why you should have picked a better opponent!" Arthur said before pushing back.
~THUD~
The sudden increase in the force made the Bandit to stumble back and hit the bandit behind him. This gave Arthur the opportunity to thrust freely, stabbing into both the bandits at once.
"AHH!!!!!"
"ACK!!!"
A sicking sound was heard as Dietrich pierced through the guts of two bandits with ease.
[Critical hit!]

Just like that, Arthur had gained 10% of his experience bar.
"Do they have anything?" Arthur wondered as he went through their corpses.
Unfortunately, they had nothing on them. Their weapons were also a waste and were unless for Arthur to even bother carrying.
But in all this, a question appeared in Arthur's mind.
'Why did these bandits come here?' he wondered.
Normally speaking, all bandits should know not to come to an area like this that would be unfit for them and would get them killed or captured.
"Unless… the exile was in some other way." Arthur muttered to himself.
After all, being incompetent could mean different things in several contexts.
"There's no doubt these are from Dozla's Bandit group too, since they have similar weapons… but why were they running away?"
