At an improvised interrogation room back at U.A., a group of the teachers and other staff members were currently trying to figure out how to best approach the topic at hand. That being, the smiling teen at one end of the table who was cuffed to a restraint bar.

[May I ask just what this is about? I feel like you should be giving me the rest of the day off in order to recover from the trauma I've been through. Surely you've done the same for my classmates?]

"Shut it!" growled the Pro, Vlad King. "You don't seem to understand the amount of trouble you're in."

[And what would that be?] Kumagawa asked as he tilted his head. [Sure, I disobeyed Aizawa-sensei's orders and engaged the Villain's, but aside from the regenerating one, everyone, our side included, came out relatively unharmed. So if you plan on detaining me any longer, I would like for you to tell me the reason.]

"Listen brat," Aizawa said sternly as he stood over Kumagawa. "You will tell us right now, what your Quirk is, and how you were able to bring all those Villain's back to life. Refuse, and we'll have you thrown into a cell so deep that your only company will be the lava-people."

Kumagawa nodded. [I see. While your threat is intimidating, you and I both know that it is just a bluff.]

"What makes you think he's bluffing?" asked Nezu, the principal. His beady, black eyes were narrowed imperceptibly at Kumagawa.

[Because you lack any form of evidence to convict me of the crime you accuse me of.] the teen answered as he wagged his finger. [The Villain's were disrupting the security system, camera's included. That means no recorded evidence. The lack of blood splatter means that no one could even tell that anyone had died. And the only evidence you do have, is the testimony of those present for the affair. The Villain's words would never be trusted, and my classmates are out of the question, for who knows how accurate their words could be after such a traumatic experience. The only report you can use is that of the three Pro-Hero's who were present, that being Aizawa, 13, and All Might. And despite how much we'd like to think that their words carry weight, I'm sure the press would have a field day if it was reported that I was being charged on what basically amounts to a rumor... Even you were not present for the aftermath. So tell me,] Kumagawa then leaned forward as his smile became more of a smirk. [Do you actually believe their word?]

"......"

"This is getting us nowhere." complained Midnight. "Either way, we need to quarantine Kumagawa away from the rest of the student population until we get this mess sorted out."

"I apologize Midnight, but I'm afraid that Kumagawa is correct." Nezu spoke up. "Without any solid evidence, we can't harass him without the threat of media backlash. Despite how much I'd like to say otherwise, this could all be the manipulations of an outside Villain to discredit one of our students."

"You can't seriously believe that?!" yelled Snipe as he slammed his fist on the table.
