If you need a hint: The last word is you. If you need another hint: The second-to-last word is about This is pretty hard, so I will give the answer here:
Codebusters is a lab and inquiry event in Science Olympiad.  It is new for the Twenty Eighteen Twenty Nineteen Season.  Popular types are Caesar, Aristocrat, Patristocrat, Vignere, Affine, and Hill ciphers.  I love Codebusters!  How about you?

I guess since the code has been decoded I'll start? Sorry if I'm not authorized to do so but I guess I'll make a new one.

Let's try a xenocrypt that's an aristocrat with hint if needed(Sorry non-Spanish speakers!)

Iqryo hqxbmy iz jeiqibri jeyteiqudy.

Note: First letter is capitalized

Hint: iz = el

This would be better off asked in the normal forum for codebusters instead of here

also it seems everyone's given up on the question marathon for this (i know i have lol) and the answer is i think thereoncewasamanfromnantucket lets start this off with something else !
encode the following message using a=7 and b=9
I don't really know what to say so I'm putting this random sentence here!
