[The gut feeling in his stomach that had displaced a weird sense of "this isn't right" seems to calm down a bit. The guy he met in the Test of Initiation didn't sound like he fit the bill, but chalk this up to Ryuji's ever persistent distrust of adults.

He's actually grateful for the explanation. He was, seriously, going to confront Qrow about it, and if he got dodgy, he'd pull off trying to threaten him, even without the credentials to back any of that up. He doesn't care about the size of the enemy or the skill, just like Qrow going off later to "discuss" with the teacher instead of facing someone that's outclassed him by a wide margin.]

Shit... thank god.

[He sighs, posture going back to its own shitty slouch to take pressure off of his leg.]

I dunno what I was kinda expectin' here. Seriously... was ready to throw down a fight with you. Just, uh... Past experiences, I guesses.

[Ryuji also sucks at not telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.]

Yeah, no shit. Teachers are never good at their job.

[He'll evade the "old" comment, at least.]
