My genuine hope is that CFVY are fourth-years and are about to graduate and be full fledged hunters, and we'll still see them around Vale. Chishio, that would only make Velvet letting herself be bullied by Cardin a helluva lot more pathetic and make it retardedly stupid.

"I can easily fight Goliaths and even bigger, uglier things with my team, and am perfectly capable of owning Deathstalkers and Nevermores on my own, and I'll graduate in just a few months. But I can't deal with a bunch of just-iniciated noobs". I like to imagine that Beacon has rules against unregulated fighting, so the only time students are actually allowed to fight each other is in a monitored, regulated spar in class. Otherwise, they'd end up with dickheads like Cardin going too far and actually injuring or killing someone in a childish brawl. You saw how he was about to finish off Jaune in volume 1, before Glynda stopped him.

That said, Velvet would curbstomp Cardin and his team, but if unregulated fighting is against the rules, then rules are rules, and Velvet doesn't wanna get in trouble. So, she doesn't wanna start anything with him. Also, maybe her parents taught her to just ignore the racists. "Don't be like the White Fang," they say. "Don't beat someone up because they're ignorant and mean," they say. "And don't forget to eat well and make good grades," mom says.
