[The plan had to succeed. There was no reason it wouldn't. Not when everything was meticulously planned out and the pieces sort of fell into line without too much effort. Sure there was some teeth pulling regarding the new recruits because Shigaraki wanted nothing to do with people obsessed with Stain. Funny how he was living up to his name by leaving this undesirable stain on Shigaraki's organization. But he couldn't complain, they had to replenish their numbers even if it wasn't ideal. Besides this plan was their chance to prove their capabilities and, for Shigaraki, flex the might of his new leadership.
Still he couldn't help but feel anxious. He stayed glued to their communicators with Kurogiri, scratching furiously as Kurogiri tried in vain to assure him that the plan would work. How could they possibly be prepared to be attacked like this? They were complacent even when being cautious. That the Vanguard Action Squad would win because the teachers (and some troublesome students) wouldn't be able to go up against unknown quirks.
It's not until they get the signal and Kurogiri warps away to bring home the squad that Shigaraki finally calms down and finds his composure. He silently counts the number of members who came back (a noticeable few are missing), watches as Mr. Compress and Kurogiri deal with Bakugou (so angry...), and then there's Dabi with a disheveled looking man (who dat?).]
Dabi. Who on Earth did you bring back? Oh. [Shigaraki crouches down next to Aizawa, using a single finger to lift up the pro hero's head. He's not particularly afraid of having his quirk erased. Not when the other had been tied up and especially not when he had a student at his mercy.] So you brought him back like I asked? Thank you.
[Bakugou might have been their primary target but he did say that other students would be bonus points for this level. One particular student would be worth extra bonus points.]
