Chapter 7 (Female Version): Nathan's Whereabouts

Pringlenia Teddy woke up.

"Fuck, that was the most intense dream I've ever had. Maybe I should try to remember it when I wake up."

She tried to remember what happened in her dream, but she couldn't.

Marin looked surprised by you waking up. She had packed a backpack ready for you and her to find her brother Nathan.

"Hello, did you have a nice nap?" Marin asks.

"I guess so. I don't remember falling asleep though."

"You've been sleeping for about a day or so," Marin responded.

"I have scheduled a pickup to take us to our journey to find Nathan. I have the GPS coordinates here." Marin informed you.

You took the GPS and checked what way you needed to head to get to Nathan.

"It's a big forest, how long will it take us to get to this Nathan?" You ask.

Pringlenia Teddy checked the GPS on where he was and where Nathan was.

"It's a pretty long walk, but I think we should be able to get there in about a day. Do you have enough supplies?"

"Should be fine,"

Pringlenia Teddy says "Let's take that car instead of walking, and we'll arrive in a half an hour."

"I thought you didn't know how to hotwire a car?" Marin asks.

"I don't, but there's always you," you say with a chuckle.

Marin pulls out two wires and hands them to you.

Pringlenia Teddy says "What about letting your origami do the work?"

Marin used her Origami creatures to hotwire the car.

She tucked her hair into a beanie, slouching in the passenger seat as you drove on.

"Buckle up," you said as you piloted the car along the road.

It was a bumpy road since it was in the mountain, and you remembered that you never got the driver’s license, because you struggled with uphill and downhill.

The road to Nathan's whereabouts was a steep mountain road, good thing you got a car that could handle the terrain. After an hour of driving, you realized that you drove the wrong direction. Way to the left and right are forests, so you can't turn back.

"Shit," Marin mumbles as she looks at the map.

"We took a wrong way, didn't we?" Marin asks.

Pringlenia Teddy asks someone for directions.

A police officer was walking across the road.

"Excuse me, officer," you politely ask.

"How can I help you?" he says with a professional tone.

You showed him the GPS location and asked which way to get there. The police squinted at Marin as if he has seen her before.

"I think I've seen you on TV. You're that... you're that... ahhhhh you're the Nathan Van Cooman's brother!"

"Yep, I'm his brother."

The police definitely managed to recognize Marin.

"You two are the last people I would expect to be out here."

"We're looking for my brother, Nathan Van Cooman. Have you seen him?" Marin asks the officer.

He hunched forward and whispered,

"He just showed up at the Bjørnevika Hero Exam just now, it's located in Bjørnevika. Just head east and you'll get there." the police officer informed you two. He then looked at you as if he had seen you as well before, but decided that it was just his imagination.

"Thank you," You thanked him and got in the car.

"There is a guy with long green hair messing up the hero entrance exam right now." the police officer informed.

"And Nathan is there!? We have to rescue him!!!" Marin panicked.

"Where is this entrance exam?" You ask.

The officer answers "It's in Bjørnevika, but it's just an hour drive from here."

Shocked about hearing about what's happening there, both you and Marin headed towards Bjørnevika Hero Academy as quickly as possible to save Nathan.

"Nathan is in trouble, we have to go there as quickly as possible." Marin yelled panickily.

"What kind of trouble?" You ask.

"The emergency kind."
