Getting back to Taku, I really don't understand why he was on the outs with the Blue Legion, even before they discovered he was using an illegal cheating program.

For the most part, the characters make it sound like he was exiled because he was low on points, but that makes no sense. It's like ostracizing someone when they're weak or injured, or out of money.

They COULD have been disgusted that he was using Acceleration to cheat at kendo; perhaps the Leonids abhor such a thing. However, they could only know Taku was doing that if they knew Taku was Cyan Pile, and Taku never mentions any idea that lots of powerful enemies know his real identity -- which would be a dangerous liability when he transfered to Haru's school and started hanging out IRL with the Black Legion.

Maybe instead all that they knew was that Cyan Pile was getting greedy for Burst Points. The public status information (or at least the status available during one of your matches) tells people EXACTLY how many BP you have left, so his legion could quickly figure out that he was always running low on points, and therefore spending a lot of them.

Maybe he was bullying weaker players, or begging for thrown fights, or begging for others to help him hunt Enemies for points?

Or maybe someone confronted him about his excessive spending and he blurted out the truth regarding his kendo cheating?
