-Later that day…-
Izuku, Ochako and Tsuyu were back in Nedzu's office to hear the principle's decision. All three of them, as well as the three copies of Sumomo inside their heads, were tense as they dreaded the possible bad outcomes that they might have to face. The fact that Toshinori was avoiding their gaze and was looking away with a blush on his face while Shouta was glaring daggers at Nedzu did little to comfort them.
Not minding the glare from Shouta, or the nervousness felt by Izuku, Ochako, Tsuyu and Sumomo, Nedzu smiled cordially and said, "After much deliberation, I have decided to allow Yamanaka-san to continue living with you three on probation." Izuku, Ochako, Tsuyu and Sumomo were obviously relieved when Nedzu suddenly smirked and added, "Provided that all of you agree to brain-jack the rest of your female classmates, the female students of Class 1B and any other young woman whom you may wish to add to Midoriya-san's personal harem."
A moment of shocked silence passed before Izuku asked, "N-Nedzu-sensei, could you please repeat that. I could have sworn that you're basically telling us to let Sumomo-chan brain-jack all the girls in my class, the girls in Class 1B and any other girl or young woman whom I'm interested in, including teachers like Midnight-sensei, to form my own personal harem."
Nedzu nodded and confirmed, "That is exactly what I have said, Midoriya-san."
"May we know why you're telling us to do THAT of all things?!" asked Ochako. Both Izuku and Tsuyu nodded their heads in vehement agreement with her.
"I could tell you all the reason for me to suggest such a thing, but I think that it is best to keep that under a need-to-know basis. After all, you can never tell who might conveniently 'overhear' our discussion and let this 'wild pussy cat' out of the bag like the last time it happened," replied Nedzu.
Realisation suddenly struck all three students and they were about to speak when Nedzu silenced them with a raised paw and said, "Now, I understand that forcing you three to form Midoriya-san's personal harem is indeed a daunting task, especially considering that all of those lovely ladies must have their own lives to live and their own desires to fulfil. However, I do believe that you have what it takes to convince at least some of them to willingly join his harem and form one of the greatest hero-teams the world has ever known."
Izuku, Ochako and Tsuyu looked at one other for a moment before they all turned their attention towards Nedzu. Izuku then said, "All right, we'll try to do as you have asked, Nedzu-sensei. However, we will not force anyone to join the harem nor try to steal anyone's girlfriend. Also, all of Sumomo-chan's hosts will be informed that this is your idea. If we somehow find someone whom we… refuse to have in the harem or is acting against me and my harem, we will let you know about it."
Nedzu clapped his paws happily and replied, "Excellent, I'm sure you will be able to form a closer bond with your female schoolmates if nothing else. You are all free to leave and enjoy the rest of the day by yourselves before executing your 'Harem Plan'." Before Izuku, Ochako and Tsuyu left, Nedzu added, "By the way, please go to Recovery Girl's office to receive the… 'necessary safety equipment' for the 'Harem Plan' to prevent any 'accidents' from happening. I will also be assigning Kayama Nemuri to keep an eye on you. I'm you all understand why she is the best suited to keep an eye on you."
Izuku, Ochako and Tsuyu blushed at the idea that they would be monitored by Kayama Nemuri, a curvaceous woman with sky-blue eyes and long spiky hair who is also a dominatrix-themed pro-heroine named Midnight, before they hastily left the office. They also easily figured out that the "necessary safety equipment" which Nedzu had mentioned would most likely be contraceptives such as condoms and intrauterine devices (IUDs). They could only hope that Recovery Girl, a short elderly woman whose real name was Shuuzenji Chiyo, would not scold or tease them too much for needing them.
After they left the office, Shouta glared at Nedzu and asked, "Are you absolutely certain that this insane plan of your is going to work? If this plan fails and the public finds out about it, the people's faith in heroes may very well break beyond any hope of repair."
Nedzu sighed and replied, "I am well-aware of the possible negative scenarios Aizawa-san. However, given the fact that the League of Villains have somehow managed to attack the students during the summer camp, we cannot ignore the possibility that their spy could very well be one of our own students. Yamanaka-san's memory-reading ability, which extends to reading the separate memories of split personalities, will allow us to at least confirm if any of the female students and teachers are truly innocent or not. Even you cannot disagree with my fears of the possibility of sleeper agents as opposed to normal spies."
"And what about the fact that you're essentially using them, and any other girl who agrees to be in Midoriya's harem, as bait for the League of Villains to target through their spy?" asked Shouta who then added, "Can we even trust that slime girl to not turn against us?"
"I admit that this is indeed a risky gamble, but I'm sure that I'm not the only one who is willing to have faith in Midoriya-san's ability to guide Yamanaka-san to the right path," replied Nedzu who then turned his attention towards Toshinori and asked, "Isn't that right, Yagi-san."
Toshinori smiled in spite of knowing Nedzu's idea and said, "Indeed, Nedzu-san. If there is anyone who could make her give up her villainy in spite of us basically giving her permission to brain-jack more victims, it would be him."
Shouta realise that he could not convince Nedzu to change his mind and sighed wearily before he said, "I just hope that your plan will not bit us in the ass."
-Back to Izuku, Ochako, Tsuyu and Sumomo…-
Izuku and his "harem" of Ochako, Tsuyu and Sumomo were in Tsuyu's room, again, to mentally discuss about Nedzu's plan in their shared mind-scape. Before they began the discussion, they made sure to lock the door, close the curtains and even have Tsuyu keep an eye on the door in case anyone tried to break into her room. Tentacles of pink slime could be seen linking Izuku to Ochako and Tsuyu as they all mentally discussed about it.
"So we all agree that Nedzu thinks that at least one of the teachers or students is a spy for the League of Villains and he wants us to at least confirm if any of the girls in Class 1A and Class 1B is the spy," said Izuku.
"As much as I don't want to believe it, we can't say for certain that none of them is the spy," said Ochako.
"While I share Ochako-chan's belief that they can't possibly be villains, we can't ignore the possibility of one of them being forced to help the villains or being brainwashed into their sleeper agent," said Tsuyu.
"There's also the possibility of the girls carrying a tracking beacon for the League of Villains to track without even realising it," said Sumomo who then added, "I might be able to detect mental anomalies caused by brainwashing since I have brain-jacked a woman with multiple personalities before but even I can't do much about someone carrying a tracking beacon without realising it."
Izuku had a determined look on his face as he spoke, "We will have to try regardless. If nothing else, we can at the very least confirm that the girls are innocent and Nedzu-sensei will be able to focus his attention towards other possible leads to the spy. With any luck, our combined efforts will be able to prevent another villain attack from happening to us."
"But will it really happen any time soon?" asked Sumomo who then added, "From what you have shared with us, that villain, All For One, is the true leader of the League of Villains and is currently imprisoned in Tartarus thanks to All Might."
"That may be true but Shigaraki is still out there and I'm sure he will attack us at the soonest opportunity he has. It's only a matter of when he will attack and how he will go about it. We need to be prepared for that day and stopping him from getting any more information about us will definitely help," replied Izuku.
Unable to deny Izuku's logical argument, Ochako, Tsuyu and Sumomo nodded in agreement with him. Sumomo cheekily spoke, "Speaking about finding spies and stopping villains, I hope you three have not forgotten what I'm allowed to do."
"You seem… awfully happy about it," said Tsuyu who was understandably worried about Sumomo's eagerness to brain-jack more girls.
