"And finally," Midnight's voice rose, "the winner of this year's U.A. Sports Festival, a student who has demonstrated incredible resilience, strategy, and heart... Izuku Midoriya!"
Deku stepped forward, his eyes wide with surprise and gratitude. The crowd erupted in applause, chanting his name. He took his place at the top of the podium, looking out at his friends, teachers, and the supportive crowd. It was a moment of triumph and validation for all his hard work and perseverance.

Midnight then proceeded to announce honorable mentions for students who had shown exceptional performance and potential during the festival.
"An honorable mention goes to Kaito Himura," Midnight announced. "For his extraordinary use of his Undead quirk and his intense battles that pushed his opponents to their limits."
Kaito received applause from his classmates and the audience. He smiled, appreciating the recognition and feeling motivated to continue improving.
Other students, such as Ochaco Uraraka for her ingenuity and spirit, and Tenya Iida for his leadership and speed, were also recognized, each receiving their moment of applause and acknowledgment.

"Thanks, Uraraka," Deku replied, blushing slightly. "Everyone did so well. This was a great learning experience for all of us."
Kaito approached Deku, extending a hand. **"Congratulations, Midoriya. That was an incredible fight. You pushed me to my limits."
Deku shook his hand firmly. **"You were amazing too, Kaito. I learned a lot from our battle. Let's keep getting stronger together."
