"That's weird." Leorio started as they looked up at a big map of the town. As the Captain promised, he passed the four candidates and took them to Dolle Harbor.

Not less than thirty minutes ago, they stepped down from the ship and bid goodbyes to the Captain and his crew. Before parting ways, the Captain had told Gon to take the way over the lone Cedar tree.

This is why they're taking a long stare at the map in front of them. The map tells them that Zaban City is in the exact opposite location.

"What is?" Samara asked before yawning and crouching down. After all, looking at a map doesn't benefit her.

Whatever. She's just happy she's back on land.

"It's strange to go to the mountain because it's in the opposite direction," Leorio answered. "We should just ride the bus. Or maybe it's a shortcut, but if we mess up, we'll walk for nothing."

"Maybe he accidentally pointed this way?" Kurapika suggested, pointing the other way.

Samara released a long sigh before answering, "You do know we're taking THE Hunter Exam, right? I don't know if the Captain's just messing with us or what, but the bus screamed 'TRAP' to me."

"A trap? How can a bus ride be a trap?" Leorio asked angrily as he looked down at the girl.

"It doesn't matter. I'm going that way." Gon interrupted the two before they could start to bicker. The boy pointed the lone Cedar tree over the mountain and walked off. "I'm sure there's a good reason for this."

Sam sighed. Does he ever learn to be suspicious of what people tell him? Gon's too... trusting. And it's worrisome.

It's not like she trusted the Captain. But the ride to Zaban is a bit easy and suspicious itself! They're not taking a ride for a College Entrance Exam! It's an exam for Pro-Hunters!

Leorio tried to convince Gon to ride the bus, but the boy just waved back as he continued to march off toward the tree.

She made another tired sigh before standing up. Sam dusted off her shorts and faced Leorio. "Just feel free to catch up after you convinced yourself that you fell into a trap. That would be so hilarious." She patted Leorio's back, parting him with a mocking grin, and followed Gon as well.

"Wait!" A voice called. It was Kurapika. The girl gave him an acknowledging nod before going on to their long walk.

Sam never even questioned Kurapika's decision. The blonde teen would follow her and Gon. After all, he's not the type to easily fall into traps.

Taking the bus was indeed dumb. They could hear him grumble in annoyance but still said his goodbyes and went to the nearest bus stop.

As the three of them walk side by side, Kurapika can't help but steal glances at the girl.

"Stop staring. You might fall for me." She teased.

That startled Kurapika. He released an embarrassing cough. "I apologize."

"Nah, that's okay. So, do you want to ask something?"

Having the opportunity at hand, he asked right away. "How could you walk as if you know where to go? I would be lying if I say I'm not impressed seeing you can handle everything with ease."

'So that's what bothering him.'

Well, to give him peace of mind...

"Not everything. That's an exaggeration. There are things that I can't handle too. But I will tell you, being blind still leaves me with four perfectly functioning senses. Does that answer your question?" She answered.
