*The final bell echoes through the packed stadium, signaling an end that feels more like a fracture. Bakugo lies motionless on the scorched earth of the arena, then is hauled onto the victory platform.

Todoroki occupies the second-place spot, a statue of ice and quiet. Tokoyami holds third, Dark Shadow flickering at his shoulder. The crowd's cheers are deafening, but here among Class 1-A, the air is thick with shared disbelief at the teachers' decision.*
