Validation error messages are defined per rule, not per field.

There is a workaround, you can pass a custom message when you process the validation errors. You can do this in a method of the model, so you keep it all in a single class.

foreach ($val->error() as $field => $error)
{
    switch ($error->field)
    {
        case "fieldA":
            $msg = $error->get_message('Custom message with parameters here');
        break;

        default:
            $msg = $error->get_message();
    }
    // do something with the $msg
}
