Leg 7.2


Kaede

Kaede opened another box. Empty.

"Really?" she asked, popping her head back up to the surface. "How many has it been?"

Hina

Hina unlocked a box as a laminated clue was waiting for her. She clipped it to the carabiner on her wetsuit as she swam up to the surface.

"I got it!" she shouted, swimming over to Nekomaru.

"What is it?" Nekomaru asked.

"The key ring itself is the key," Hina replied. "Just bend it."

Nekomaru looked at the keyring and unbent it, revealing its hidden key.

"Thanks," Nekomaru said. Hina got into the boat as it went back to shore.

Nekomaru

Nekomaru was now opening boxes, but most of them were still empty.

"Come on!" Nekomaru shouted. A shark swam past his face.

Chiaki

Chiaki looked at her key ring. Why was it so abnormal? "Is this something?"

Sayaka

Sayaka tried to force the keys into the lockhole, but nothing came out of it. "What?"

Leon and Ibuki

"Taxi!" Ibuki shouted. One finally came over. "Finally,"

They stepped in. "We need to get to Port Elizabeth Harbor, as fast as possible," Leon said. The driver nodded and drove off.

"We probably should've saved the Express Pass." Leon said.

Kaede

Kaede unlocked a box as it revealed the clue. She grabbed it and swam back to her boat.

"Finally… that took way too long," she said. "Hopefully we can catch up with Chihiro and Hina."

Hina

Hina's boat came back into the harbor as she stepped off.

"You did it!" Chihiro exclaimed. "We're first!"

"Hopefully we can hold onto that" Hina replied. She ripped it open.

Chihiro and Hina: Currently in 1st Place

"Make your way to Nelson Mandela University Library," Chihiro read.

[i] Proceed to: Nelson Mandela University Library

"Let's go!" Chihiro said.

Kaede

"Hina left around ten minutes ago," Kaede said. "It shouldn't be too much to catch up by. If we can just knock out the next challenge fast, we can possibly get another win in today."

Their boat approached the dock as she jumped off and hugged Shuichi.

"Good jo-gah! Just… just open the clue."

Shuichi and Kaede: Currently in 2nd Place

"Make your way to Nelson Mandela University Library," Shuichi read.

Leon and Ibuki: Currently in Last Place

"Roadblock," Leon read. "I'll do it."

"What happened to you two?" Makoto asked.

"Stupid cab driver took us half an hour in the wrong direction," Leon replied. "How long have you been waiting here?"

"Around half an hour," Makoto replied. "I don't know what's happening out there. Chihiro and Hina and Kaede and Shuichi just left. Nekomaru's been out there for around forty-five minutes."

Sayaka

"Come on!" Sayaka shouted, fumbling with the keys. "Is this some kind of weird set of keys?"

She dove back down again and tried to shove the keys into the slot, and ended up breaking one of the keys.

"Did I screw this up? Did I just break the challenge?"

Chiaki

Chiaki bent the keyring and observed it. "Is this a key of some sort?"

She dove down and plugged it into the key hole, turned it, and retrieved a clue from the box.

"Got it," she said, putting the clue into her mouth and paddling back to her boat.

"What the shit?" Nekomaru asked.

"After Chiaki figures out the secret," Nekomaru said. "Literally the first box she opens is the clue. Meanwhile, I'm over here, opening up twenty-ish boxes, and nothing!"

"Your luck is almost as bad as mine!" Nagito shouted.

"I doubt that."

Chihiro and Hina

Hina and Chihiro sat in the taxi, excited. "We're in first!" Hina shouted.

"Let's maintain that through the Detour," Chihiro replied. Their cab stopped as they ran outside to the university.

Chihiro and Hina: Currently in 1st Place

"Route Info."

South Africa is one of the most diverse nations in the world. In fact, South Africa has over ten official languages, a fact that teams will soon realize when they search through a sea of students and foreign languages.

[i] Select Language

In this challenge, teams must pick up a vinyl record and listen to a passage entirely in the South African language of Zulu. Once teams have listened to it, they must make their way outside to the courtyard, where they must search the crowd filled with 200 students speaking various South African languages for one in six students reciting the passage in Zulu. Once they have found the student, they must bring them to the librarian, who will give them their next clue.

"That sounds hard." Chihiro said.

"It doesn't matter. Let's go do this!" Hina shouted, running into the library.

Nekomaru

Nekomaru opened up a box and finally got a clue. "Finally," he shouted. He climbed up the ladder as the boat driver began going back to the port.

Leon

Leon dove into the water and ignored all of the sharks swarming around him.

"Move, please," he said. The sharks dispersed as he dove down and tried the keys. When none of them worked, he went back to the surface.

"Sayaka, found anything?" Leon asked.

"I haven't found any leads for half an hour," Sayaka replied. "I must've gone through all of the boxes. None of them worked with my keys."

"None?" Leon asked. "You're probably missing a few."

"Everyone else's come and gone. I noticed them opening around half of them, even ones that don't have a clue inside."

"..."

Shuichi and Kaede: Currently in 2nd Place

Shuichi and Kaede read the clue. "That sounds hard," Shuichi said. "Let's do it."

Chihiro and Hina

Chihiro and Hina grabbed a record and placed it on the player as a voice began to come out of it.

"IsiZulu siwulimi olukhulunywa kakhulu eNingizimu Afrika, futhi bangaphezulu kwamaphesenti angamashumi amahlanu abantu abakwaziyo ukusikhuluma. Ngemuva kwesiSwahili, kungulimi lwesibili olukhulunywa kunazo zonke olimini lwesiBantu futhi ibhalwe ngezinhlamvu zesiLatin."

"..."

"Oh my god there's no way." Hina said. "There's no way."

"Let's just try to listen to it again," Chihiro replied, playing the record again.

Shuichi and Kaede

"What is that?" Shuichi asked, listening to Chihiro and Hina's audio recording.

"That's what we're looking for," Chihiro replied. Kaede's jaw dropped.

"Should we whip out the Express Pass?" Kaede asked.

"No, I think we should save it," Shuichi replied. "Let's just try to see if we can get this done before other teams get here."

Chihiro and Hina

They ran outside and ran their way over to the courtyard.

"OH MY GOD!" Hina shouted.

"There was like, a sea of people," Hina explained. "Like, they were only around two meters apart from each other, and all speaking something different, and talking over each other. It was absolute chaos."

They walked up to the first person.

"Andinguye umntu ondijongileyo. Ndithetha isixhosa, hayi isiZulu."

"I can't hear you because of the kajillion people talking over you!" Hina shouted. "Damn, this is so frustrating."

"I don't think that was it," Chihiro said. "Let's move onto the next person."

"Ek praat op die oomblik Afrikaans, 'n taal afkomstig van Nederlands."

Nagito and Nekomaru

Nagito and Nekomaru sat in the cab.

"I'm sorry, Nagito," Nekomaru said. "There was a trick to it, but I fell victim to bad luck."

"It's okay that your luck is garbage like me. No one controls luck. Even my talent, the Ultimate Lucky Student, isn't really a talent."

"HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELF!" Nekomaru shouted. The driver swerved in reaction and almost got into a car accident.

"In fact, even though I am trying my best, I really don't mind if I lose." Nagito said. "If we lose, we'll just be a stepping stone for the better, more capable and hopeful teams."

"I don't like your mindset, but as long as you're trying your best."

Shuichi and Kaede

Shuichi and Kaede walked around the grid of speaking students. "This is impossible." Kaede said. "We can't do this."

"Bleh ble bleh bleh bleeeh." Kaede said. "That's what I heard in that massive field of clashing languages. Not like it would be any better if they were spaced out."

"What if we literally just try to grab people one by one." Shuichi said. "There are two hundred people here, and we're literally right in front of the library so there won't be too much time wasted by just grabbing people and going back and forth. Three percent chance to get it on the first try, six percent on the second… our odds I think would be really good."

Chihiro and Hina

"I don't know… I can't hear him that well." Chihiro said, leaning in to listen to a young boy.

"What?"

"I CAN'T HEAR HIM WELL BUT IT SOUNDS FAMILIAR!"

"Let's just take him."

"What?"

"These people weren't just quietly talking. They were shouting and it was really difficult to understand anything your partner were to try and tell you." Chihiro explained.

Hina grabbed the man's wrist and pulled him all the way to the library, where the librarian stood outside.

Chihiro and Hina: 1st Attempt

"No," the librarian said. The man ran all the way back to the courtyard.

Shuichi and Kaede: 1st Attempt

Shuichi and Kaede pulled the first student on the first row.

"No," she said.

"It doesn't matter." Shuichi said. They simply ran and pulled the second person on the first row.

Shuichi and Kaede: 2nd Attempt

"No."

Hajime and Chiaki: Currently in 3rd Place

"Okay," Hajime read. "Let's go do this."

They made their way to the courtyard in front of the library. "Oh my god." Chiaki said. "That sounds near impossible."

"We hadn't even listened to the vinyl record when we noticed the chaos coming from the front of the library." Hajime said. "And we deemed… that was near impossible. There's no way to distinguish what person is saying what"

"Let's just listen to the recording," Chiaki said. "It's better than not listening to it."

Sayaka

Sayaka got a new set of keys and continued trying the boxes. "Come on! My fingers are getting wrinkly!"

Leon

"I am this close to losing my shit." Leon said. He tried to force a key into the lock, but it wouldn't budge.

"FUCK THIS!"

Shuichi and Kaede: 7th Attempt

Shuichi brought their seventh guy up to the librarian.

"It's good," the librarian said, forking over their clue.

"Woohoo!" Kaede shouted. Shuichi ripped it open.

Shuichi and Kaede: Currently in 1st Place

"Drive yourselves to your next Pit Stop." Shuichi read.

[i] Drive to Pit Stop: Seal Point Lighthouse

Teams must now drive themselves almost two hours to the Seal Point Lighthouse in the town of Cape St. Francis. The last team to check in with me at the mat, may be eliminated.

"Alright, let's go!" Kaede shouted. "I'm so pumped up! We're gonna get first again!"

"Don't count your chickens before they hatch," Shuichi said. "Let's go. Parking lot! Fast!"

Chihiro and Hina

"This guy," Chihiro said. "I'm certain this is familiar."

"WHAT?"

"LET'S TAKE THIS GUY!"

Chihiro signaled for him to follow them as they ran to the librarian.

"Correct," the librarian said, handing them their clue.

Chihiro and Hina: Currently in 1st Place

"They left not even a minute ago. We can beat them today and actually get a first place!" Hina said.

Shuichi and Kaede

"Here's our marked cars." Shuichi said. "Come on, Shuichi!"

They got inside as Shuichi turned the key in the ignition. "Alright, let's go!"

Chihiro and Hina

"There they go!" Chihiro pointed. "Follow them!"

Nagito and Nekomaru: Currently in 4th Place

"Let's just turn this into a luck challenge," Nagito said. "Don't even bother with that 'record' thing."

Hajime and Chiaki

"I think I've got him!" Hajime shouted. Chiaki nodded as they led him to the librarian.

"Congratulations," the judge said. "Here is your next clue.

Hajime and Chiaki: Currently in 3rd Place

"Let's hang onto this lead we have on the others," Hajime said.

Leon, Sayaka

"Gah!" Leon shouted, banging his fist against the hull of the boat. "How long have we been here?!"

"Two hours," Sayaka replied. She continued diving down and trying the keys, but none of them worked.

"Is there something we're missing?" Sayaka asked. Leon dove down again and tried the keys, but stopped.

"That's it, I give up." Leon said.

Sayaka got up on her boat again and read through the clue. "Use the ring of keys to open the boxes. That's what I've been doing!"

Leon tried to get on the boat to get a birds' eye view, but he couldn't see any of the boxes.

"Is the boundaries larger than I thought?"

Nagito and Nekomaru

Nagito and Nekomaru picked out a random person and brought him to the librarian.

Nagito and Nekomaru: 1st Attempt

"That's correct," the librarian said, giving them the clue.

Nagito and Nekomaru: Currently in 4th Place

"I guess we are lucky today," Nekomaru said. "This challenge looks awful."

"We don't have to do it. Let's get to the Pit Stop before the other two teams catch up."


Makoto and Ibuki were lounging around by the harbor.

"What is taking them so long?" Makoto asked.

"I'm not sure… but it must be something." Ibuki replied. "You know what they say, it's raining cats and dogs out there!"

"I'm not sure that's what that expression means."

"I probably shouldn't say things I don't understand! Come on! Your tension is super loooooww! Get a grin back on that face!"

"Did Shuichi give you the express pass by the way?" Makoto asked.

"Oh, they did, back in Morocco, but we used it last leg."

"What? Why?"

"We got very lost and thought we were very far behind Miu and Kazuichi. I think it was the right choice, because they only had around fifteen freakishly long minutes left on that despicable timer before we arrived."

"This is stressful and boring," Makoto said.

"Wanna headbang?"

Shuichi and Kaede

"Chihiro and Hina are right on our tail," Kaede said, turning around and staring at them. "I think they're following us."

"It's gonna be a footrace to the mat," Shuichi replied. "I know Hina's good at running but I doubt Chihiro can keep up with her."

Monokuma awaited at the lighthouse as the two cars parked.

"GO! RUN!" Hina shouted.

"We can beat them!" Shuichi yelled. Shuichi and Kaede landed on the mat seconds before Chihiro and Hina.

"Shuichi and Kaede," Monokuma said. "I am proud to tell you that you are team number ONE!"

Shuichi and Kaede: 1st Place

"YEAAAAAHHHH!" Kaede shouted, jumping up and down.

"And of course," Monokuma said. "Chihiro and Hina, you are team number two."

Chihiro and Hina: 2nd Place

"2nd place again… not bad… but we still want that gold medal," Hina pouted.

"Now, because you're both on the mat, Chihiro and Hina, you get to hear what Kaede and Shuichi won that you lost!"

"Oh, come on!" Hina shouted. "That's just cruel."

"Shuichi and Kaede, what do people want more than anything?"

"Money?" Shuichi asked.

"Yes, that's right. Money!" Monokuma announced. "And for winning this leg of the race, you have received 750,000 Yen!"

"Wooaahh!" Shuichi cheered.

"Are you kidding me?" Kaede asked.

"I am kidding you." Monokuma said. Their smiles disappeared.

"What… what do you mean?" Kaede asked.

"I'm kidding you because you haven't won 750,000 yen. You've won 750,000 Yen EACH."

"WHAT?" Shuichi asked. "OH MY GOD!"

"Well, we're happy for you," Chihiro said.

Hina put a hand behind her neck. "But look after your back. We'll win it tomorrow."

"We'll see about that," Shuichi said.

Hajime and Chiaki

"It's a long drive," Chiaki said. "There's a huge possibility of getting lost, so we have to be careful."

"We've been driving for around an hour," Hajime said. "God, I hope we're going in the right direction."

Nagito and Nekomaru

"I think I see Hajime and Chiaki's car up ahead." Nagito said.

"Alright, I'll see if I can pass them."

Nekomaru floored the pedal as they passed Hajime and Chiaki

Hajime and Chiaki

"What? No!" Hajime shouted. He tried to speed up and pass them again, but he couldn't risk getting a speeding ticket.

"It's alright," Chiaki said. "Let it go. Getting 3rd this leg doesn't make that much of a difference than getting 4th."

Nagito and Nekomaru

Nagito and Nekomaru cheered as they heard a silent *POP*

"What was that?" Nagito asked. Suddenly, the car swerved to the left and swerved off the road.

Hajime and Chiaki

"What was that?" Hajime asked. "What just happened?"

"Looks like they got a flat tire," Chiaki replied. Hajime pulled up next to them and stopped.

"Are you two alright?"

"We're fine. We just need a change in tire." Nagito replied. "Just my luck."

Hajime and Chiaki

"Alright… well I guess we're off…" Hajime said. Nagito waved as they sped off into the distance.

Leon, Sayaka

"GRAAAAAAHHHH!" Leon shouted, probably scaring off all of the sharks within a 100-mile radius.

Sayaka dove down again. Once again, the keys didn't work. "Come on! I have to be doing something wrong with this challenge."

"I don't think so… I think this is an error in production," Leon said. "It's a mistake in the challenge. It's not us."

"Do I have to pick the lock or something?" Sayaka asked.

Nagito and Nekomaru

"We're waiting for some mechanics to come and fix our car," Nagito said. "We don't get time credits for the time we spend waiting, so we are seriously suffering from this,"

"Sorry, Nagito," Nekomaru said. "I should've watched the road."

"It's fine," Nagito replied. "It's just my luck. Besides, I'm sure either Makoto and Sayaka or Leon and Ibuki are struggling back there. I haven't seen them since the Roadblock, and they're bound to pass by here if they do make it."

Hajime and Chiaki

"I see the lighthouse," Hajime said. They went down to the marked parking lot as they ran up to Monokuma.

"Hajime and Chiaki," Monokuma said. "You are team number THREE."

Hajime and Chiaki: 3rd Place

"Alright. We're doing well. Still trying to get that 1st place in, though."

"We know we're a strong team," Hajime explained. "But so far, the only time we've actually come in first place was when we had a flight advantage in Paris."

"We want to make sure to establish ourselves as a strong team and win a leg on nothing but strength and will." Chiaki said.

Nagito and Nekomaru

Nagito and Nekomaru watched as the mechanic came and refitted the tire on their car.

"You should be good to go," the mechanic said.

"Thanks Kazuichi 2.0," Nekomaru said. They got back into their car and drove.

Leon, Sayaka

"Leon, can we talk for a second?" Sayaka asked.

"Fine. I'm wasting time here anyways."

They both climbed aboard Sayaka's boat.

"I don't think we're going to be able to do this," Sayaka said.

Leon balled up his fists in frustration. "What's your point?"

Sayaka ran her fingers through her hair. "I was wondering if you would agree to quit the Roadblock with me and take the penalty time."

"Why would I do that?"

"Well, we're not getting anywhere and unless you have the Express Pass, we'll be here all night. If we agree to the penalty, we can just shake hands and race for last place. Since we'll be getting the same penalty, whoever arrives at the Pit Stop first will stay in the race."

"... that's not a bad idea,"

"Also, if the sun sets on us, that'll make this challenge ten times harder. Even if we do figure out what we're doing wrong, it'll probably still take us hours to finish it."

"Fine. Deal."

Leon and Sayaka shook hands. "Go back to your boat. I'll count us off so it's fair." Sayaka said. Leon dove back into the water and swam back to the boat.

"We elect to take the four-hour penalty," both Sayaka and Leon said to their captains consecutively. They each received their clue as the boats began to move back to the harbor.

Nagito and Nekomaru

"Nagito and Nekomaru… I see your luck fluctuates a lot. Sometimes your luck puts you ahead, sometimes it sets you behind." Monokuma teased.

"Well… let's see if our luck is good enough to keep us in the race." Nagito said.

"Your luck right now is mediocre because you are team number four."

Nagito and Nekomaru: 4th Place

"Alright. Not bad. We're not last, at least." Nagito said.

"I know we can do better!" Nekomaru shouted. "Swear! Do it! Swear that we will win the next leg!"

"I swear we will win the next leg!" Nagito shouted.

"I swear we will win the next leg!" Monokuma shouted.

"Shut up! Not you!"

Leon, Sayaka

The two boats began coming into the harbor.

"Are they both coming in?" Makoto asked.

"Looks like it," Ibuki replied. "Yeah, they're both on there."

"I guess unless someone else messes up so badly, it's going to be neck and neck between us." Makoto said.

As the boats came back into the dock, they each ran out to their partners and handed over the clues.

Makoto and Sayaka: Currently in 5th Place

Leon and Ibuki: Currently in Last Place

"Make your way to the Nelson Mandela University library," Makoto read. Each of them stood by the side of the road and easily hailed a taxi cab.

"Nelson Mandela University Library," Sayaka said. They stepped inside.

"Sayaka… did something happen out there?" Makoto asked.

"It was brutal," Sayaka replied. "Leon and I agreed to quit it and get a four-hour penalty, so it's a race between us and them."

"YOU DID WHAT?"

"It was the only way. If we didn't, we'd be out there all night. I didn't know if there was something we were doing wrong, but none of the keys we were given unlocked any of the boxes."

"We know that Leon and Ibuki are our friends, they're our allies," Sayaka explained. "But the only way we're going to stay in this competition is to beat them and get them eliminated. It's the only way."

Leon and Ibuki

"Ibuki, I quit the Roadblock so we're going to have a penalty at the end."

"What? You quit?"

"Yeah, but Makoto quit too, so we just need to check in before them and we'll be home free."

"At this point, it's us against Makoto and Sayaka," Leon said. "Because it was a race for last, our alliance essentially evaporated."


Makoto and Sayaka

Makoto and Sayaka ran up to the clue box at the university.

"We're not last," Makoto said, looking at the number of clues in the box.

Makoto and Sayaka: Currently in 5th Place

Makoto and Sayaka dashed into the library and grabbed the vinyl record.

"Let's do this," Makoto said. They put in the record as it played a passage in Zulu.

"IsiZulu siwulimi olukhulunywa kakhulu eNingizimu Afrika, futhi bangaphezulu kwamaphesenti angamashumi amahlanu abantu abakwaziyo ukusikhuluma. Ngemuva kwesiSwahili, kungulimi lwesibili olukhulunywa kunazo zonke olimini lwesiBantu futhi ibhalwe ngezinhlamvu zesiLatin."

"Uhh…"

Leon and Ibuki: Currently in Last Place

Leon and Ibuki ran into the library, right next to Makoto and Sayaka.

"IsiZulu siwulimi olukhulunywa kakhulu eNingizimu Afrika, futhi bangaphezulu kwamaphesenti angamashumi amahlanu abantu abakwaziyo ukusikhuluma. Ngemuva kwesiSwahili, kungulimi lwesibili olukhulunywa kunazo zonke olimini lwesiBantu futhi ibhalwe ngezinhlamvu zesiLatin."

"Fuck," Leon said.

Makoto and Sayaka

Makoto and Sayaka ran outside and listened closely to all of the students in the courtyard.

"No… it's not you… that's spanish…" Sayaka muttered.

"I can't hear any of them," Makoto said. "It's too goddamn loud."

Leon and Ibuki

"I think I can memorize that," Ibuki said. "Ibuki has good ears."

"I hope so," Leon replied. "That was a bunch of jibberish."

Makoto and Sayaka

"Let's try this guy!" Sayaka shouted. Makoto grabbed him by the wrist and ran over to the librarian.

Makoto and Sayaka: 1st Attempt

"No," the librarian replied.

Leon and Ibuki

"This is insane," Leon said, stepping outside.

"No worries," Ibuki said. "Ibuki can tell."

Leon followed Ibuki through the rows of students. "Her! It's her!" Ibuki shouted, pointing to a woman near the center of the chaos.

Leon grabbed her hand and pulled her to the librarian.

Leon and Ibuki: 1st Attempt

"It's good," the librarian said, handing over the clue.

Leon and Ibuki: Currently in 5th Place

"Thank you," Leon said. They ripped the clue open.

"Drive to the Seal Point Lighthouse," Ibuki read.

Makoto and Sayaka

"They just left," Makoto said.

"What? How'd they get past it so fast?"

"I dunno but we have to hustle." Makoto replied. He listened in to a man and thought he heard some familiar words.

"Let's try him!" Makoto shouted. Sayaka shrugged as they led him to the librarian.

Makoto and Sayaka: 2nd Attempt

"Congratulations," the librarian said.

Makoto and Sayaka: Currently in Last Place

"We have to catch up to them," Sayaka said, jumping into the car. "No matter what it takes."

Leon and Ibuki

"I don't know how far they are from us," Leon said. "Could be a few minutes, could be an hour… we just don't know and need to get there as fast as possible. We've learned the hard way that on a self-drive, it's easy to lose a lead if you get lost."

Makoto and Sayaka

"Come on… Come on…" Sayaka said. "We have to hope. Maybe your lucky talent will help us."

"Please, Race God, please let Leon and Ibuki get a flat tire."


Monokuma waited at the Pit Stop mat.

Leon and Ibuki ran up to the carpet and jumped on it.

"Leon and Ibuki," Monokuma said. "You are team number five, and you are still in this race."

Leon and Ibuki: 5th Place

Leon fell to his knees. "Damn... this race is stressful."

"Ibuki's energy levels are so looow… Ibuki needs a rest."

"This is, by far, your most difficult leg," Monokuma said.

"Yeah," Leon said. "I'm just kind of upset our alliance is down to just two teams."


Makoto and Sayaka stepped out of their cab and held hands, running up to the mat just as the sun was dipping below the horizon.

"Makoto and Sayaka," Monokuma said. "You are the last team to arrive."

"We figured," Makoto said. "After wasting that much time at the Roadblock, and Leon and Ibuki passing us, there's no way we're not last."

"Was this leg… did you feel it was difficult?"

"Duh! Of course it was!" Sayaka shouted.

"Do you think you should've survived this leg?" Monokuma asked.

"I don't know about 'should've'," Makoto said. "But we definitely could've done better."

"Do you feel like your luck had a huge impact on this leg?"

"Not really… I didn't feel particularly lucky or unlucky today. Maybe besides that cut earlier."

"Well, it looks like you're wrong because your luck has prevailed." Monokuma said. "This is a Non-Elimination leg and you are team number six."

Makoto and Sayaka: 6th Place

"What? Noo!" Makoto shouted, ecstatic. "I don't believe you!"

"We're still in this!" Sayaka exclaimed.

"However, your next leg will not be easy," Monokuma said. "During the next leg, you will face a Speed Bump, a challenge that only you have to complete in order to continue racing."

"Alright," Makoto said. "We can power through it."

"Additionally," Monokuma added. "Because you elected to quit the Roadblock, you will be starting the next leg four hours behind the other teams."

"I understand," Sayaka said. "But I'm sure we can overcome it."

"Yeah, we're not happy with ending in last place," Makoto said. "But it looks like my talent actually came in handy,"

"Sure, we've got a disadvantage, but I'm positive we can power through our obstacles and get back up to the top tomorrow."

Next time on the Amazing Race: Hope's Peak Edition

The final six race through the sands of Dubai.

*Leon and Ibuki getting a dune buggy stuck in the sand.* "Dammit!"
