Leg 10.2


Leon and Ibuki

Leon and Ibuki approached the ferry station. "Well, this is it," Leon said.

They entered and bought a ticket.

"Ten minutes," the receptionist said.

"Thanks," Ibuki replied. They sat down at the waiting room as Leon gripped his temples.

"I dunno about this," he said. "I don't know if we're going to be majorly screwed after."

"Look on the bright side. We'll make up some time."

"I'm not sure about that, either," Leon replied. "We're done."

Chihiro and Hina

Hina grabbed the crab out of the boiling water.

"Ow!" she shouted, throwing it on the table. "That's hot… that's boiling hot."

Meanwhile, Chihiro began cleaning the scales off of the salmon with little difficulty.

"After we realized what we had to do, it was quite obvious that the crabs was going to be a lot more difficult than the salmon," Chihiro explained.

Hina flailed her fingers around. "First off, the crabs that we were given were fresh out of boiling water and were singeing my fingertips. Not to mention, after we cracked it, there were bits of shell that were getting everywhere and poking me."

Hina grabbed the crab and used the cracker to rip off the legs and open up the end.

"OW!" She shouted, dropping the leg off the table. She sighed and bent over to pick it up off the floor of the fish market."No one's eating this, right?"

Meanwhile, Chihiro began slicing the salmon once the scales were off and began cutting at the salmon's neck to separate the head from the body. He then stuck the knife on the top of the fish and began slicing down the body.

"There was a very clear difference between the fish and the crabs," Chihiro said. "The fish was like a Boolean. It's either right, or it's not. The crabs, however, was a certain amount that you had to do and there really wasn't a way to mess up other than being slow."

Shuichi and Kaede: Currently in 2nd Place

Shuichi and Kaede read their clue and made their way into the market.

"Crap, they're here," Hina said.

"Don't worry about them," Chihiro replied. Shuichi and Kaede made their way into their own station after watching the demo.

Hajime and Chiaki: Currently in 3rd Place

"Looks like we've made up some time on the drive," Hajime said, looking at the two teams still there.

"Have you seen Leon and Ibuki?" Shuichi asked.

"No, I was about to ask you that!" Hajime replied. "Well… wherever they are… we want them to survive today. But that's not looking too good right now."

"They were supposed to follow us after the Roadblock, but they went missing somewhere along the road." Chihiro said.

Leon and Ibuki

Leon and Ibuki boarded the ferry as they sat in anguish.

"Listen, Leon, we can get through this," Ibuki said. "We have nothing to do for the next hour, so let's have some fun! Follow my lead!"

"Ibuki, can you just be quiet for once?" Leon asked. "I'm not really feeling it."

"Oh, come on! It'll be fun!"

"No."

"Aww, you're such a buzzkill!"

Chihiro and Hina

Chihiro sliced the side of the salmon off and then went along the bone to separate the other side from the spine.

"Can I get a check on the fish?" Chihiro asked. The judge walked up and held up the bone.

"No. Too much fish left on the spine," the judge said. "Redo it!"

Chihiro sighed. "This is… harder than I envisioned. How's the crab?"

"My fingers are going to bleed after this," Hina said, crushing a bit of shell underneath her fingers and wincing.

Shuichi and Kaede

Shuichi used the knife to cut off the scales from the fish with little ease. Meanwhile, Kaede pulled out the crab and dropped it on the table after feeling how hot it was.

"Shuichi, can we switch?" Kaede asked. "I don't want to hurt my fingers. I still want to play piano after this."

"Fine," Shuichi said. He handed Kaede the knife as he began dealing with the crabs. Meanwhile, Kaede began scratching up her palm on the fish scales.

"Aah… this is just as bad…" Kaede said.

Hajime and Chiaki

Chiaki very quickly cut the fish flesh off from the bone as Hajime cracked down on the crabs.

"I do this all the time," Hajime said. "You have to work for your food! It's not just served on a silver platter!"

"Celeste would hate hearing that if she was still here," Chiaki said.

Chihiro and Hina

"I never envisioned working in a fishery," Chihiro said. "I'm still not used to the smell of fish. It's not pleasant, but at least I'm getting used to it now and it's more subtle."

"I'm used to it," Hina replied. "I eat a lotta fish. But this is wrecking my fingers. Not that it'll be better for you. I can't imagine typing something with injuries like these. It doesn't hurt too bad, but I really hope we won't have to wrap anything small or do anything nimble after this."

"You're not bleeding, are you?" Chihiro asked.

"Not yet, at least. I'm fine." Hina said. "Can I get this weighed?"

The judge grabbed the bowl of crab meat and put it on the scale in which it didn't offset the weights on the opposite side.

"Not yet," he said. "Keep going."

"This is taking forever." Hina said.

Shuichi and Kaede

"AAh!" Shuichi shouted, pulling a shell out of his fingernail. "Oww…"

Kaede was disgusted at the fish and was making faces while slicing the fish.

"Can I check this?" Kaede asked.

"It's good," The judge replied.

"Alright, thanks," Kaede said. Kaede moved onto the second fish and began scaling it, trying to avoid touching it as much as possible.

"The scales on that fish were scraping up my hands," Kaede explained. "I have a big thing about not wanting to hurt my hands or fingers. It keeps me from playing my piano. But I guess the fish was better than the crabs, given how it looked like Shuichi was in pain."

Shuichi stuck his finger inside of the shell, took out some meat, then immediately pulled his finger out from the heat and shook his hand, getting some crab meat on Kaede.

"Be neater with that!" she scolded.

Chihiro and Hina

Hina squealed as she sliced her thumb open.

"Oh, aahh!" she shouted. The medic came in and disinfected it and put a Mickey Mouse bandaid on it.

Hajime and Chiaki

Hajime poked his finger with the shell, drawing blood.

"Are you alright?" Chiaki asked.

"I'm fine," He replied, sucking on his thumb. "How are you doing with the fish?"

"I've done both and I think it's fine, but I'm not sure because I haven't checked it yet."

She called in the judge as he came in for a look.

"Redo them," he said. "Too much on the bone meat."

"Do you mean meat on the bone?" Hajime asked

"My English isn't good… don't judge me."

"You're the judge though," Hajime replied.

"Leave this fishery immediately."

"What do you think we're trying to do?"

Shuichi and Kaede

"Can I get this weighed?" Shuichi asked. He picked it up and placed it on the scale, as it tipped over.

"That's good," the judge clapped. He stared at Kaede, who was still working on the fish.

"Check, please," Kaede said.

"Perfect," the judge replied, handing over their clue.

Shuichi and Kaede: Currently in 1st Place

"Detour. Heart of a Lion or Jaded Treasure?"

[D] Heart of a Lion

Lion dancing is a traditional form of dancing in Chinese culture. During the Lion dance, people have to suit up in these two-person lion suits and dance around in a complicated procedure. It will take way too long for teams to perfect a dance from scratch, so instead, we're sending them on a journey. In "Heart of a Lion", teams must make their way to Kowloon Park and don this two-person lion dance suit. Then, they must navigate the bustling streets of Northern Hong Kong to Sai Yee Street Garden, two kilometers away. Once teams have reached the garden without taking off the suit, they will receive their next clue.

[D] Jaded Treasure

The Hong Kong Jade Market is home to hundreds of shops selling beautiful jade jewelry. In "Jaded Treasure", teams must search through the three marked stands to find three marked pieces of jewelry. Then, they must exit the market and make their way through Hong Kong for three locations to deliver their jewelry. Once teams have delivered all three pieces of shimmering jade, they will return to the market for their next clue.

"Jaded Treasure sounds like we'll have to find different locations," Shuichi said. "Too risky. Too many things that could go wrong."

"Yeah, I agree," Kaede replied, running outside and hopping into their car.

Chihiro and Hina

Chihiro smoothly led his knife down the spine of the fish, hearing the noise of the knife against bone, and very smoothly allowed him to fillet it with near perfection. He repeated it for the other side.

"Can I get a check?" Chihiro asked.

"That's good," The judge replied. "Now, do the second one."

"Alright," Chihiro replied. Meanwhile, Hina put the crab meat into the bowl and placed it on the scale as it offset the other end and laid both sides into equilibrium.

"Perfect," The judge said. Hina grabbed the crab and began eating it while watching Chihiro fillet the second fish.

Hajime and Chiaki

Hajime put his bowl of crab meat on the scale as it offset the other side.

"Alright, we've caught up to Hina on this," Hajime said. "Nice. How are you doing with the fish?"

"I'm trying," Chiaki replied. "I dunno if I got this perfectly down."

"Oh, where are Leon and Ibuki?"

Leon and Ibuki

Leon and Ibuki rode the ferry in silence as they stared outside.

"I'd be enjoying this view a lot more if I wasn't stressed out and about to go home later," Leon said. "I doubt we're making this up."

"Come on, Leon! You need to get pumped up! Do some headbangs with me!"

"Not in the mood right now. I just want this ride to be over so we can just get this leg over with."

Shuichi and Kaede

"Hi, do you know how to get to Kowloon Park?" Shuichi asked.

"No english," the man replied. Shuichi sighed.

"Pull over," Kaede said.

"What? Why?"

"There's an office. We can ask them."

Chihiro and Hina

"Can we get a check?" Chihiro asked.

"That's good," the judge replied, handing over their clue.

Chihiro and Hina: Currently in 2nd Place

"Detour. Heart of a Lion or Jaded Treasure?" Chihiro read.

"Heart of a Lion sounds a lot easier," Hina said. "Can you handle it?"

"I've seen those before. I don't think they're that heavy. It'll definitely be easier than finding different places, especially if they're all written in Chinese."

Hajime and Chiaki

"Check!" Hajime shouted. The judge showed up and gave them thumbs.

Hajime and Chiaki: Currently in 3rd Place

"Detour," Hajime read. "We're doing the lions."

They ran outside and got into their cars.

"We made up a lot of time on Chihiro and Hina," Chiaki said. "They left the Roadblock maybe around half an hour before we did, and here we left maybe around five minutes after… that's good. We're not sure where Leon and Ibuki are right now, but we hope they're far, far behind. We do want them in the finale with us, but right now we definitely need to be in front of a team."

Shuichi and Kaede

"It's up here," Kaede pointed. Shuichi parked the car and stepped outside in order to run to the park.

"Alright, we just need to look for the dragon suits," Shuichi said. They walked together, looking everywhere, and walked right past it while the lion dancers were two feet away, colors completely contrasting the park and dancing around.

"Where is it?" Kaede asked.

Chihiro and Hina

"There's Kaede and Shuichi," Hina said. "What are they doing? The lions are right there."

"They're probably overlooking them… looking somewhere less obvious…" Chihiro said. "I don't really blame them. It's easy to miss obvious things. But we need to take this chance to leap ahead."

They ran up to the people in the lion costumes as they picked one up.

"How are we supposed to wear this?" Hina asked. Chihiro pointed to two people dancing around in the lion suit.

"One person's up front and the other has to bend over in the back." Chihiro said. "Do you want to do the front or the back?"

"I'll go in back," Hina said.

They picked up the lion dance pants and slipped them on before hoisting the lion costume on top of them.

"Oh, I can't see…" Hina said. "You're going to have to call the shots."

"I can barely see in this thing either," Chihiro replied. "I can only see straight ahead."

Shuichi and Kaede

"Oh, it's right there!" Kaede pointed. "We're stupid."

Just as Chihiro and Hina left the park, Shuichi and Kaede slipped on the pants for the lion suit.

Chihiro and Hina

"Do you know where we're going?" Hina asked.

"Uhh…"

"Are we going to have to ask someone? We should've done that before."

"We're just in the lion suit, and we realize… we have no idea where this street garden place is," Chihiro explained. "We tried to go up to people, but they either didn't speak English… or ran away in fear."

"Hi, do you know-"

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"

"Okay…" Chihiro said.

Hajime and Chiaki

Hajime and Chiaki parked their car as they ran into a garden, different from Kowloon Park.

"Now, where are these lion suits?" Chiaki asked.

"Okay, something's not right here," Hajime said.

"We run into the park, then we realize that this park is really small and I don't see any lion suits." Hajime explained.

"Hand me the clue," Hajime said. Chiaki forked over their clue as Hajime read it over again. "Oh… I see…"

"What?" Chiaki asked.

"This is the Street Garden. This is where we're supposed to DELIVER the lion suits."

"Oh," Chiaki replied. "I guess we have to go back to Kowloon Park. On the bright side, at least we know where this is and how to get here from the park."

Leon and Ibuki

The boat docked as Leon and Ibuki ran off through the ferry terminal.

"TAXI!" Leon shouted. They quickly hailed one.

"Do you know Aberdeen Wholesale Fish Market?"

They got inside as it drove off.

"Hopefully they reached some kind of bunch point," Leon said. "Some kind of 'pick a number and wait until tomorrow'. Chances are… we're fucked. We are so fucked."

Ibuki for once in her life, said nothing, paying attention to the city outside.

Chihiro and Hina

"Nathan Road?" Chihiro asked. The woman nodded.

"Hina, we have to just run down Nathan Road and make a right onto Soy Street."

"Those words mean absolutely nothing to me," Hina said. "Remember, I'm the one bent over in the back with zero visibility. You just need to run at a consistent pace and make sure to let me know if we have to stop or make a sharp turn."

"Okay, got it."

Right after that, Chihiro tripped over a random rock on the ground as Hina collapsed on top of him.

"Augh… you okay?" Hina asked.

"I'm *sniff* I'm fine."

Shuichi and Kaede

"I think they just fell," Shuichi said, approaching the heap that was Chihiro and Hina fumbling underneath the fallen costume. "We can pass them."

Then, Shuichi tripped over the rock and fell on top of Chihiro and Hina.

"Get off me!" Hina shouted.

"Get your butt out of my face!" Kaede screamed.

"You're the ones who fell over us!" Hina argued.

They stopped talking as they tried to stand up and dust themselves off.

"Sorry," Kaede said. She and Shuichi steadied themselves before running off, leaving Chihiro and Hina behind.

"Oh, come on!" Hina shouted.

"Sorry, we want another first place today!" Shuichi shouted.

Hajime and Chiaki

"Oh, the lions are over here," Chiaki pointed. They ran to the suits and slipped on the pants.

"There are two lions left," Hajime said. "That means that two teams are in front of us. We're sure that Leon and Ibuki are behind us somewhere, we don't know how far behind they are, but it looks like everyone is doing this Detour."

They picked up the lion suit with Hajime in front and Chiaki behind.

"This is going to be killer on my back," Chiaki said.

Leon and Ibuki

"Fish market…" Leon said. "Is this the way to the fish market?"

The driver said nothing.

"We have a driver that doesn't speak English," Ibuki said. "That's no bueno."

"This doesn't look like you're bringing us to a wharf… in fact it looks like you're taking us away from the water…"

"Ibuki thinks we should trust him."

Shuichi and Kaede

"My back is hurting," Kaede said.

"I can't do anything about that," Shuichi replied. "Sorry."

"Running in that suit was a complete nightmare," Kaede explained. "For me, I had to hunch my back and bend over, it was hot and that costume was like an oven, I couldn't see anything, and I was subject to Shuichi's pace."

"I was still tired from the Roadblock," Shuichi said. "My arms and legs were still burning, and it really was torture for me. But I knew that we wanted another win in this competition, and those don't come by sitting around and relaxing."

Hajime and Chiaki

"You okay back there?" Hajime asked.

"I'm fine," Chiaki replied. "We have directions. We can just run."

Leon and Ibuki

"Up here's fine," Leon said. The cab driver stopped as they paid and they ran up to the clue box at the fish market.

Leon and Ibuki: Currently in Last Place

"Deshell some seafood," Ibuki read. They entered the market to see that no one was there.

"Dammit…" Leon said. "Whatever. Let's just get this over with."

They watched the demo with uninterested faces.

Chihiro and Hina

Chihiro stopped at a traffic light as Hina almost rammed him into traffic.

"Oomph…"

"Chihiro, you need to tell me when you're stopping!"

"Sorry… don't yell at me…"

"I'm no- I'm just trying to let you know so we avoid another accident."

Shuichi and Kaede

"We just made the traffic light, so we've got some separation between us and Chihiro and Hina," Shuichi said. "Hopefully we can just keep that stride for the rest of the run. Soy Street is up there, we need to turn soon, Kaede."

"Got it," Kaede replied.

Chihiro and Hina

"There's a lot of people in our way," Chihiro said.

"ROOOOOOOAAAAAAAR!" Hina shouted, making the people split apart and making a path for them.

"Wow… okay…"

Hajime and Chiaki

"Hajime, can we take a rest?" Chiaki asked. "I'm really tired."

"I get it, but I don't think we can afford a rest right now. If we power through this, we can get to the Pit Stop fast and take a rest there."

"Aww… I'm so tired"

Shuichi and Kaede

"I think that's the garden… yeah." Shuichi said. "It's Race tagged."

They entered the garden as they took off the suit. "Who do we go to?"

A man came up to them and handed over their clue.

They thanked him as they took off the lion dance pants and ripped the clue open.

Shuichi and Kaede: Currently in 1st Place

"Find the man known as Lee Jun-Fan," Shuichi read.

[i] Proceed to: Bruce Lee Statue

Teams must now realize that the person known as Lee Jun-Fan in Chinese is known worldwide as Bruce Lee. They must now visit this statue commemorating his life and works to receive their next clue.

"I guess we're finding some kind of person right now," Shuichi said. "I don't know what to do. There's no location on here, no other hints other than Lee Jun-Fan, there are like eight million people in this city."

"It's not going to be a random person," Kaede said. "It has to be someone significant. Like the governor or someone who just lingers around one place."

Chihiro and Hina

"Up there," Chihiro said. They ran into the garden as they took off the suit and received their clue.

"Thanks," Hina replied, panting. They ripped open the clue.

Chihiro and Hina: Currently in 2nd Place

"Alright, we're finding some Chinese guy," Chihiro said.

Leon and Ibuki

"Check?" Leon asked. The judge walked up to their seafood as he nodded and handed them a clue.

Leon and Ibuki: Currently in Last Place

"Wooo!" Ibuki shouted. "We got done with that mega-quick!"

"Hopefully we can get done with the rest of this mega-quick." Leon replied. "Detour."

"Ibuki thinks we can do the jade."

"Alright… no objections…"

Shuichi and Kaede

"Do you just want to get a cab and ask him?" Shuichi asked.

"Does our clue say we have to drive?"

"No, it just says find that person."

"Alright, I think that's a wonderful idea in that case."

They hailed a cab and got inside just as Chihiro and Hina ran out of the street garden.

"Sir, do you know who Lee Jun-Fan is?" Kaede asked.

"I have google," he replied.

"Fine. That's alright," Shuichi said. He typed on his phone. "It's showing me Bruce Lee,"

"Bruce Lee's dead though," Shuichi said. "Is there some kind of residence, or some kind of grave or tomb or something?"

"There's a statue on Chatham Road."

"Take us there. That has to be it," Shuichi replied.

Chihiro and Hina

"Sir," Chihiro said. "Do you know who Lee Jun-Fan is?"

He shook his head and continued walking.

"Oh, come on!" Hina shouted. "Why does no one know who this is?"

"We should find some kind of hotel or internet cafe," Chihiro explained. "Maybe a quick google search will do us good."

Hajime and Chiaki

Hajime and Chiaki took off the suit as they received their clue.

Hajime and Chiaki: Currently in 3rd Place

"Thanks," Hajime said.

"Oh, I'm so exhausted," Chiaki said. Hajime wasted no time and picked her up by the waist and carried her out of the garden.

Chihiro and Hina

"Can we come behind the counter?" Chihiro asked, talking to a hotel receptionist.

"Just this once," she replied. They came behind the counter and began using the computer.

"Bruce Lee?" Chihiro asked. "That sounds right… but it looks like he's dead."

"There's a statue not too far from here," the receptionist said. Chihiro looked it up and got directions.

"Alright, thanks!" Chihiro replied. "That sounds just about right."

Shuichi and Kaede

Shuichi and Kaede sat in their cab as they pulled up to the statue.

"There's a clue box right there," Shuichi pointed. They got out and ran to the box.

Shuichi and Kaede: Currently in 1st Place

"Make your way to your next Pit Stop," Shuichi read.

[i] Proceed to Pit Stop: Victoria Peak

Teams must now make their way to Victoria Peak, the Pit Stop for this leg of the race. The last team to check in here at the mat may be eliminated.

"Alright, we're headed to the Pit Stop!" Kaede shouted. They ran back to their cab.

"Victoria Peak," Shuichi said. The driver went off as they sat in the back of the cab, panting and drenched in sweat.

"We can get another first place today," Shuichi said. "We need this… to prove ourselves a better team that Hajime and Chiaki…"

Chihiro and Hina: Currently in 2nd Place

Chihiro and Hina opened their clue at the statue.

"Alright, we can make up the time we lost to Shuichi and Kaede if we rush," Hina said, hopping back into the cab.

Hajime and Chiaki

"It looks like Bruce Lee," Hajime said. "Okay… our first destination is the Bruce Lee statue… if not we'll have to do some more research,"

Leon and Ibuki

"Looks like that's the jade market… yeah, it's marked…" Leon said. "Here would be good."

The driver didn't slow down or stop.

"Let us out." Leon shouted. No response.

"Dude," Ibuki said. "You passed it!"

"Dumbass!" Leon shouted. "No! Let us out! Turn around!"


Shuichi and Kaede

"I think I see the peak," Kaede said. "It's really a beautiful hill."

Shuichi had a mouthful of water and swallowed it. "Hopefully that's the right hill."

Chihiro and Hina

"Hopefully all of these green lights are foreshadowing great things for us… maybe a first in the competition today." Chihiro explained.

Shuichi and Kaede

"Up here?" Shuichi asked. The driver nodded as they stepped outside and brought their stuff out of the back.

Chihiro and Hina

"Alright, we can do this," Chihiro said, grabbing his bag and breaking into a sprint for the busier sections of the peak.


Monokuma waited at the Pit Stop as Shuichi and Kaede came running onto the mat.

"Shuichi and Kaede," Monokuma said.

"Yeah?" Shuichi asked.

"You're exhausted."

"No duh," Kaede replied. "This was a very physical leg and I want nothing more but to take a nice rest."

"Well, all that work paid off. You are team number ONE!"

Shuichi and Kaede: 1st Place

"Yeah!" Kaede shouted, fist in the air.

"Looks like we've got another team coming in soon," Monokuma said, leading to Chihiro and Hina running in.

"Chihiro and Hina, you are team number two."

Chihiro and Hina: 2nd Place

"Oh, come on!" Hina shouted. "That's five in a row."

"Really?" Chihiro nervously asked.

"You have to step up your game if you want a first place," Monokuma replied. "Now, you get to see what Shuichi and Kaede have won."

"Fine, get it over with," Hina said.

"You have won a trip for two to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, which you can enjoy after the race is over."

"Thank you," Shuichi replied. "That sounds great."


Leon and Ibuki

Leon and Ibuki threw the money at their driver as they stepped outside.

"Stupid cabbie," Leon said. They ran back to the jade market and ran inside.

"We need to find three pieces of jewelry from three stands," Ibuki said. "These stands are massive."

"Yeah, there's a lot, but we only need to find them from the marked stands up here," Leon pointed.

"Those stands are still massive!"

Hajime and Chiaki

Hajime and Chiaki ran to the statue to retrieve their clue.

Hajime and Chiaki: Currently in 3rd Place

"Make your way to your next Pit Stop," Hajime read.

Leon and Ibuki

Leon and Ibuki dug through the stands.

"Oh, I've got one!" Ibuki shouted, pulling a necklace around her neck.

"Great job," Leon said. "I found one too. We just need one more."

Hajime and Chiaki

"Hopefully we make it," Hajime said. "We're certain that the other two teams have already gotten far ahead of us, but we're resting on Leon and Ibuki completing the detour slowly."

Leon and Ibuki

"Got the last one!" Ibuki held up.

"Alright, great," Leon replied. They ran over to the board that displayed the destinations they had to deliver them to, Ibuki quickly writing them down.


"There's Monokuma on the mat!" Chiaki shouted, running to the Pit Stop.

"Hajime and Chiaki," Monokuma said. "Tough day?"

"This was the most physically taxing leg so far," Hajime said.

"What position do you think you're in?"

"Hopefully three." Chiaki said. "But we're not going to bet on it."

"You are team number three."

Hajime and Chiaki: 3rd Place

"Oh, thank god," Chiaki said, dropping to her knees in relief.


Leon and Ibuki

Leon and Ibuki sat in the cab, stopping at an office building and dropping off the last piece of jade. Then, they made their way back to the jade market to retrieve their clue.

Leon and Ibuki: Currently in Last Place

"I have a bad feeling right now," Ibuki said. "Ibuki doesn't like it."

"I've had a bad feeling from the start," Leon said. Their cab drove across the bridge and up to Victoria peak, where they walked with little enthusiasm to the Pit Stop mat.

"Leon and Ibuki," Monokuma said. "Rough day?"

"Yeah, I guess so," Leon said. "Stupid nagivational error. We got through the tasks quickly too."

"We know we're in last," Ibuki said.

"I'm sorry to say that you are the last team to arrive." Monokuma said.

Leon and Ibuki: Last Place

"Yeah, just tell us," Leon said. "Fourth place out of eleven ain't bad."

"I'll tell you," Monokuma said. "I'll tell you that you are still racing."

"What?" Ibuki asked. Leon's face morphed from disappointment to excitement and relief.

"You are still in this race, and the next leg begins right now. I have your next clue right here," Monokuma said, handing over a clue. "Rip and read it right now."

Leon tore the envelope to shreds and opened the clue inside.

"Fly to Seoul, South Korea," Leon read.

"You should leave right now if you want to make the same flight as the others," Monokuma said.

Leon took Ibuki's hand as they ran back to the street. "We're still in this!"

"You have a second chance," Monokuma shouted. "Don't waste it!"

"This is great," Leon said. "the Race Gods have given us another chance. We have to redeem ourselves. For the sake of our race"
