XD yeah i was wondering why velvet was in their same class when she seems older than them. and it feels weird how cardin (a first year) bullies her. i know she's a faunus but i dont know: seeing as she is older she might've had more authority over her. Why would a student have authority over another student? It's not like she's a teacher.

For all we know, she could be a second year, which would mean she's only one year older than him. I think this Tumblr post pretty much explains pretty well why it is not weird that Cardin bullied her.
