The Aftermath of the Battle:

After the intense battle against Stain, Kaito, Midoriya, Todoroki, and Iida returned to U.A. High, where they received medical treatment and debriefed the faculty on the confrontation. Despite their exhaustion, they couldn't shake the lingering tension from their encounter with the Hero Killer. Stain was a villain unlike any other they had faced, and his ideology had left a mark on them.

"You all did exceptionally well," Aizawa-sensei told them during the debrief. "But this isn't over. Stain's capture raises a lot of questions, and we need answers."

The Interrogation Begins:

Stain was taken to a high-security facility where pro heroes and police officers prepared to interrogate him. His capture had already made headlines, and the hero community was eager to understand his motives and connections. Kaito and his friends were given permission to observe the interrogation, given their direct involvement in his capture.

As they watched through a one-way mirror, they saw Stain sitting calmly, his eyes focused and intense. Despite his restraints, he exuded a menacing aura that put everyone on edge.

"We'll get to the bottom of this," Detective Tsukauchi assured them. **"Stain won't be able to hide anything from us."

Stain's Philosophy:

Detective Tsukauchi entered the room, accompanied by several pro heroes, including Endeavor and Gran Torino. They began questioning Stain about his motives and actions.

"Why did you target pro heroes?" Tsukauchi asked, his voice steady.

Stain looked up, his expression unreadable. "Because most of them are frauds," he replied coldly. **"They've lost sight of what it means to be a true hero. They chase fame and fortune, abandoning the principles of justice and self-sacrifice."

"And you think killing them is the solution?" Gran Torino interjected, his voice filled with disdain.

"Purging the world of false heroes is the only way to restore true heroism," Stain insisted. **"Heroes should be willing to die for their cause, not profit from it."

Kaito's Reflection:

As the interrogation continued, Kaito found himself reflecting on Stain's words. Despite his horrific actions, there was a twisted logic to Stain's philosophy that Kaito couldn't ignore. He thought about the heroes he admired and wondered how many of them truly embodied the selflessness that Stain demanded.

"He's wrong," Kaito muttered to himself, trying to shake off the doubt creeping into his mind. "Heroes save people. That's what matters."

Midoriya, standing beside him, seemed to sense his turmoil. **"Kaito, don't let Stain's words get to you. We know what it means to be heroes, and we have to prove it through our actions."

Unexpected Revelation:

The interrogation took an unexpected turn when Stain mentioned All for One. "There's a darkness in this world far greater than me," he said, his eyes narrowing. **"All for One and his followers are the true enemies. They manipulate from the shadows, turning people like me into weapons."

The mention of All for One sent a shockwave through the room. The pro heroes exchanged worried glances, and Kaito's heart raced. He knew his connection to All for One was a secret, but hearing Stain speak of him so openly felt like a threat looming over his head.

A New Mission:

After the interrogation, the pro heroes and detectives gathered to discuss the implications of Stain's revelations. "If All for One is still active, we need to be prepared," Endeavor stated, his voice grim. **"Stain's capture might be the key to uncovering more about their operations."

Aizawa-sensei turned to Kaito and his friends. **"You've all proven yourselves capable. We're going to need your help to dig deeper into this. Stay sharp and be ready for anything."

Kaito nodded, determination burning in his eyes. The battle against Stain was just the beginning. If All for One was involved, they were up against a much larger threat. Kaito knew he had to train harder, grow stronger, and remain vigilant. The safety of the hero world depended on it.
