"I knew that some things didn't add up!" Kazuki was the first to say. "Your threat to revoke our Hero Licenses was the biggest clue - Professors do not have the power to do that! I had a whispering thought at the back of my mind that you planned to drive us together by uniting us against you, but I dismissed that because you kept up the pressure and made sure everyone hated you enough not to consider the [i]possibility[/i] that you had a cover!" 

He then faced Ravens/Shimura and continued, "That said, don't you know how much danger you put [i]yourself[/i] in, and us too?! What if one of us was provoked to open violence?! You could have been hurt [i]and[/i] the student who assaulted you could have lost their future! Worst case scenario, you could have provoked a riot like it was 1969!"

Kazuki let the implications that he was referring to [i]himself[/i] hang, by a thread, over the class. His next words were, "And yes, I was perfectly confident in my ability to bring on the hurt while inciting a mob; sorry for the arrogance. You guessed right that I [i]do[/i] scheme, back when your cover was up; said schemes are dropped, by the way - They were meant for self-defense and defense of those under me, after all. Seriously, I was just one inch of lost patience away from endangering your plan!"

He then sighed and said, "I'm taking the 100 points for 'dying with my comrades' and the 95 points for speaking up against oppression, by the way. Do not expect forgiveness from everyone else too... Although I'm already giving my own, considering how I am not immune to dark urges in my heart."

Still hyperventilating, Kazuki continued, "And if you must do it again... Well, we'll cross that bridge when we get there."

Because Kazuki knew, in his heart, that Ravens would do it again. The youth was willing to cast aside any hatred or ill-will towards the older man, but [i]trust[/i] had to be earned, not demanded or commanded.

And earning it was going to be an uphill struggle; Kazuki knew he had to make it so.
