Next, Nigel and Connor chose Demi. Meanwhile, Sam, George, and Chad chose Herne. Of course, they were just being polite to one another.
Since Nigel and Connor had bad stomachs, Sam and the others let them choose Demi. Regardless, both teams were balanced, and that was how the voting session ended.
On Demi's team, there was Wendy, Maria, Sally, Tyler, Matt, Connor, and Nigel.
As for Herne's team, there was Thomas, Alex, Ana, Caitlin, George, Chad, and Sam.
"Have you guys noticed something? On Herne's team, most of them are tall, strong men. Meanwhile, Demi's team consists only of the elderly and the weak."
"Haha! I noticed it too. Demi's team really looks weak. I can imagine how they can't move a lot of things now. They'll have to rely on Demi most of the time."
"I don't think that's going to work. Can she really take care of that many people?"
"Hey, are you guys forgetting about Connor? He's not an elderly or weak at all."
"He might not be either of those, but he has a bad stomach!"
"I've noticed something else. Although Connor has a great relationship with Demi's team, he's the only strong man on her team. Does that mean he'll have to do all the physical work next?"
"Damn… Connor is going to suffer again!"
…
After the teams were decided, everyone returned to the hotel. The program crew didn't make things difficult for the guests and had prepared a feast for everyone.
While they were on their way back in a bus, Herne sat next to Demi and asked, "Which school are you from?"
Hearing that, she turned to him in confusion.
"I mean, where did you learn your medical skills?" he asked again.
"Oh, it's a place no one knows about," she answered.
Herne thought she didn't want to tell him, so he chuckled and changed the topic. "Would you be interested in learning modern medicine as well?"
