Ryuta waits until most of the participants are outside before warping another pomato onto his hand.
"So it seems some of you have been plasted with the cookbooks and mangas that were meant to be a requirement to continue this competition," he began, tossing the pompato up and down in his hand, "But what if I were to tell you there's been an unfortunate misunderstanding in the way they were supposed to be handed out."
There was a flood of shocked an aggravated vocal confusion as Ryuta continues, "Tenchou's main objective was to herd you towards the invantory of the books and convince you to buy them, not flat out throw them into your shopping cart and force you to use your 10,000 zenny gift certificate to buy them. In that regard, I decided to call foul and delcare neither of you winners or losers of this round."
He stops tossing the pomato and crosses his arms, "This will also be your last chance to decide if you want to continue in this Extreme Iron Chef challenge. I'm giving you all until noon today to go home, rest, and think this through. Those who choose to continue in this competition gather any cooking equipment you need and rendezvous at the RPM Junkyard for your next challenge."
