Everyone needs a safe way to express and control their anger. Bottling it up just leads to outbursts like that. I’m not saying it’s a bad characterisation, or illogical, or something that doesn’t happen. I’m saying it’s something that would get him in trouble and make people not want to interact with him because stories get blown out of proportion.

My brother was a biter - he was easy to get angry, and the bullies loved it because he would scream and rant and rage. But then they took it too far and he latched on and locked his jaw, and no amount of hitting or swearing would remove him from this bullies arm. And that stuff spread until he was the crazy kid who bites and no one wanted to interact with him because they were afraid he was going to bite them too.

He didn’t care, he’s a loner to the biggest degree to the point he avoided all four other people in the house on Christmas Day, the day for family. But he certainly didn’t have any friends or anyone willing to talk to him until he changed schools after that.

And that’s the sort of thing you have to keep in mind for Cyan. If you want him to have a violent reaction, you have to remember that it will backfire on him. Other characters aren’t going to look at it and go “oh, well he was provoked, he’s still a nice guy.” The story is going to get warped and he’ll end up sounding like an overly violent person that no one will want to interact with except his team - and if anything, his team just makes it worse.

Carmine is the epitome of might makes right - he is violent in all his reactions as a teen. You’ve characterised Yasen as being overly violent when it comes to her figure. You joke about the beatings all of them hand out or receive when someone gets into their stuff. Cyan also being violent will just have the entire team labelled “that crazy violent/psycho team”.

So you can do it, but just remember that you are painting team CYAN in a very broad brush of violence and the other students aren’t really going to want to hang out with them out of the fear of setting them off accidentally and ending up being attacked.
