Safe way to carry a MacBook

Hey guys, I just bought a MacBook Pro 2020 M1 13' and I'm struggling to find a safe way to carry it around.

I have a North Face backpack that "kind of" has a special laptop compartment behind the padded back panel but only one side is made up of hard material. I'm worried that if I place it in there (Even if it's in a hard shell sleeve), the computer will bend under the weight of my heavy IB books since there is only a thin plastic layer separating the books from the computer and I move my backpack from one classroom to another frequently.

On the other hand, there is also the option of carrying it in an independent (hard shell) laptop attaché which is obviously safer. Still, I don't want to carry a second bag, if it's also safe to put the laptop inside my backpack (In a hard shell case).

If you have anything else in your mind, I'm open to suggestions as well. Thanks :)
