I might go lenient on you this time.
I will go hard with/on you if you don't change your behaviour.
Is it the correct way to use word "hard" which is opposite of "lenient" if not then what would be appropriate word to use here?
As a teacher how shall I say this to a student.
Now this is just for learning purpose.
Thanks in advance.
I will be lenient with you this time. If you do this again you will be disciplined, perhaps severely.
