The extension E/F leads to a curve of genus 4 with 8 points. Extending once again by H of degree 2 leads to the desired result, as we write
H/(E/F):= v^2 + v + x^3 + x .

We can assume such a curve C as an extension E of degree 2 of a curve F of genus 1 as follows:
F: (x + y + x*y) * x*y + x + 1 ;
E/F := v^2 + v + x^3 + x .

The Oesterlé bound. Here is a real Weil polynomial that we don't know how to eliminate: (x^2 + 2*x - 1) * (x^3 + 4*x^2 + 3*x - 1) * (x^6 + 5*x^5 + 3*x^4 - 16*x^3 - 18*x^2 + 9*x + 11)
