[He doesn't respond to that. No, he doesn't think it was an easy decision for Tenka to make--not in the least. Their confrontation was loud, and sharp, and physical, but he could see the pained expression on Tenka's face. It wasn't an easy decision. But it was still the decision he made for all of the reasons he's stated before. Sousei is willing to forgive him for it--has forgiven him for it. But that doesn't mean it's any easier to swallow the fact that, either through learning from his mistakes or because this is that much more important, he refuses to leave behind the person who started this entire problem in the first place.
Better, he thinks, to focus on the ten years he missed. After all, that's important too.
And it's easier to deal with.]
...You have spoiled Chuutarou too much. [That's his initial response to all of it. Poor marks? Should be stricter.] He is intelligent enough. If his marks are poor, he is not trying hard enough.
[That, of all things, he focuses on.
Because Chuutarou is like Tenka when he was a child. And Tenka had been brilliant too, but had never wanted to study, until his father had been stricter on him. What a weird little detail to focus on.]
