('Its amazing how fast people will turn on those they once trusted. You can practically smell the tension in here.') I thought to myself as I was observing the divided class. Between those who supported Bakugo being reformed and those who didn't. The only thing they all seemed to agree on was the fact he needed to be removed from our dorms due to my presence there.

I was laughing my ass off internally when I heard he basically lives in a prison-like cell. As much as I'd love to bask in his misery, I needed to start making my next move. Although it had been delayed it was almost time for the internships. This was a chance I couldn't miss, especially since I had a potential pawn swimming in his hatred.

Apparently during the sports festival, Iida's older brother the Pro-Hero Ingenium, the hero who "saved" me was attacked and crippled by someone being called the Hero Killer Stain. I was pretty familiar with the criminal underworld, this guy was a new player. In other words, he was completely free of criminal ties.

I started to dig around trying to learn more about this guy. From the information I was able to gather, this guy seemed to be going after "fake heros". At first glance he seems like someone I could get along with. However one of my informants, told me he holds All might as the one "True" hero.

So to me this guy was useless, if he wasn't able to even become slightly sus about All-Might after I dropped my hints then he's the kind to blindly believe in what he believes to the end. There would be no changing his mind, if anything he's likely to get in my way. I need to remove him and thanks to his last victim, I might have a pawn to play.

Even with everything that happened, Tenya Iida was one of the ones supporting Izumi and someone who believes Bakugo can be reformed. However he is slowly being consumed by his desire for revenge. Being cooped up in the dorms for the last 3 weeks sure didn't help him cool off.

Then again, I didn't exactly let him calm down. A few well mentioned key phases at the right times and the thoughts just festered in his mind. Like "H-hey Iida.... c-can I-I s-s-send f-flowers t-to y-your b-brother? I-I w-want t-to t-thank him f-for s-saving m-me and M-momo."

That definitely riled him up at Stain, however that damned sister of mine also noticed his change and seemed to be trying to stop him from doing something stupid. Which was the opposite of what I wanted. So everytime she tried I would show up, she'd freeze and turn her attention to trying to get close to me instead.

Too bad for her, I seemed to have gotten a bodyguard team lead by one of the ones who couldn't forgive Izumi..... Mina Ashido. It seemed I was right, Mina had been bullied ruthlessly for her appearance as a kid. So finding out how my own flesh and blood treated me, she made it her mission to keep Izumi away from me as much as she could.

The best part was watching Izumi suffering as one of her former friends, kept her away from the brother she wanted to so badly make up with. Not that it'd ever happen, I am having to much fun with making her and the family pay.

Next I decided that I needed a new loyal pawn within the class. Luckily for me I had a perfect subject, Bakugo's replacement from 1-B Itsuka kendo. Honestly I would have preferred to make her fall for me slowly and ensure she is loyal to me alone, but I don't have time for that.

I need a bodyguard for Momo and a extra set of hands so I can operate more freely. Since she's never met me before she wouldn't have much of an impression of me. Therefor making it easier for me to plant feelings and memories within her. Its a risky thing to do, if I can't plant the feelings deep enough she will something is "wrong".

If that happens it is possible for her true memories to return. So I have to cement the memories as "truth" in her mind as much as possible. I don't like doing things this way, but thats not going to stop me. Besides both Momo and Lily already know what I'm planning with Itsuka. Himiko just wanted a video of me "Breaking her in" as she put it.

So I broke her in alright, didn't like having to do her like this but damn that ass was good. So now I have four allies within UA, with a fifth on the way if I can get Tenya on board. If I get him his revenge and heal his brother, I should be able to convert him.

When I explained my plan to my girls, Momo asked "What if he doesn't join us?". I shrugged my shoulders "Then I'll kill him and the whole Iida clan, after showing what Tenya did to Stain. This would once again cause an uproar within this stupid society."

Momo and the girls looked at me shocked by the fact I'd have thought of a backup plan and thought so far ahead for my next move. Itsuka being new to the group asked "Why don't you just kill Izumi and your family? You definitely have the strength to do it."

"Of course I do....... but what I want is more than revenge. I'd be lying if I said wanting my former family to suffer wasn't part of it. However what I really what is for this flawed corrupt system to be shown for what it really is. I don't gave a single fuck about what the people do about it afterwards. I just want to set fire to the world HE built and make him watch as it burns knowing that I did all this because of him and his family who rejected me."
