A/N: Woo-hoo! This is the fiftieth chapter!

As soon as I entered, I found Ishimaru and Mondo arguing about something. When the doors to the Dining Hall closed, they instantly spotted me.

"Naegi! Perfect timing!" Said Ishimaru.

"What's going on?" I asked.

Mondo stormed up to me. And when he did, I had a bad feeling about what was gonna happen. "I have a favor to ask! You gotta be our witness!"

"W-Witness to what…?" I stammered.

Mondo pointed at Ishimaru angrily. "This guy's been talking shit about me since day one. Callin' me a coward and shit like that…"

"You are a coward!" Ishimaru shot back. "That's why you turn to violence to solve your problems! That's why you can't do what society asks of you, and why you walk around dressed like that!"

"…The fuck you say?" Mondo growled. "You dunno shit."

"You've already lost to yourself, but you're such a coward you don't even realize it!" Ishimaru continued.

"So what, you sayin' you're not a coward? You think you're tougher than me?!" Mondo exclaimed.

"I know I am!" Said Ishimaru.

"Okay, then let's throw down." Mondo said as cracked his knuckles. "Prove you got what I don't got!"

"I accept your challenge!" Ishimaru proclaimed.

Both men turned to face me again. "So that's what's happenin', Naegi. You gotta be our witness!" Modno said.

"You're gonna… Throw down?" I asked worriedly. "You're not gonna like… Start punching each other, are you?"

Mondo shook his head. "There's a bathhouse on the 1st floor of the dorm, right? With a sauna inside?" He asked.

"I see… A simple endurance contest, is it?" Asked Ishimaru. "We're going to see who can stay in the sauna the longest, am I right?"

"Goddamn straight!" Mondo exclaimed.

Without a second thought, the two of them carried me towards the sauna.

"A-Are you guys really gonna go through with this?" I asked once we arrived and they set me down.

"Shit yeah!" Exclaimed Mondo.

Ishimaru angrily pointed at Mondo. "He'll be done in a matter of minutes, anyway. People like him are, without exception, all talk!"

Mondo cracked his knuckles. "Bring! It! On!" He grunted. "Hell, let's make things interesting. Wouldn't wanna win without a challenge, right?

"Interesting…?" I whimpered. Nervous about what he was gonna do.

"We're gonna battle with all our clothes on!" Mondo proclaimed.

Ishimaru gasped. "Th-That's idiotic! Suicidal!"

"What, you afraid?" Mondo asked as he narrowed his eyes in frustration.

"Y-You're going to regret this!" Ishimaru stammered.

"Shut up and let's do this!" Mondo yelled.

Within minutes, both Ishimaru and Mondo were in the sauna. The latter being fully clothed while the former was naked with a towel over him.

"H-Hey, Mondo…" Ishimaru began.

"What, asshole?" Mondo grunted.

"You can take off your uniform, ya know. Go ahead, I won't judge."

"And you can shut the fuck up and mind your own business." Mondo shot back. "I mean, look at you. Your face is all read. What're you, one of those goddamn hot spring monkeys?"

"I-It just so happens…!" Ishimaru panted from the extreme heat. "I was born with a red face…!"

"You don't have to act all big, man."

"A-Act, you say?" Ishimaru asked before laughing. "I'm still plenty good to go! I'm so good, I could eat a steaming-hot bowl of soup right now!"

Back outside, I watched the two continue their "Contest". I tried to push my concern aside, but then a few minutes passed, then a few dozen minutes, and then a full hour had passed. And they were still in there!

"D-Don't you think… It's about time… You gave up?" Ishimaru stammered.

"What about you? You can't even hardly talk… Dumbass." Mondo stammered back.

"Say wh-whatever you want… I'm still totally… Good to go!" Ishimaru tried to smile through the heat. "In fact, I'm starting to feel… Kinda cold!"

"That's… Prolly not good…" Mondo said under his breath.

"H-Hey, uh… Guys?" I called out from the outside. "I know you both wanna prove hoe big of badasses you are, but don't you think you've had enough?"

"Shut up!" Mondo and Ishimaru yelled at the same time.

I sighed in defeat, if I can't get to them, then-

Ding dong, bing bong!

Monokuma came on the monitor, and it made the announcement that I feared: It was nighttime. "…Hey, did you hear that?" I called again. "It's nighttime. How about we call it a tie?"

"In a true competition… There's no such thing as a tie!" Ishimaru exclaimed. "You win or you lose. That's… The only thing that matters!"

"Listen to you… You son of a bitch…!" Mondo panted. "Then bring it on…! I'll… I'll push you right up to the gates of Hell!"

"This isn't good, guys…" I said worryingly.

"Yeah, you hear him?" Mondo asked Ishimaru. "Better crawl on back… To your room…! I'll let you know how it went… In the morning! Then you can start spreading my… My legend…!"

"Come tomorrow morning… You'll fall down in front of me… On your knees." Ishimaru replied. "I'll show you where to do it…!"

"Big talk from someone… Whose face is about to explode…!" Mondo grunted.

"Right back a-at ya!" Ishimaru grunted.

By this point, I felt like there was nothing else I could do. "Okay well… G'night then." I said before slumping my way back to my room.

I got in bed and sighed heavily. I really hope those two don't overdo it… But I'm sure… To the death? No, surely they wouldn't go that far.

The concern stayed with me as I slowly succumbed to sleep.
