I thought President Horikita's explanation was clear, but some readers still have questions. Let me elaborate in detail:
Point 1: Leasing the cameras prevents future point deductions.
This should be straightforward—now that all classes know the rules, actions like using phones or chatting in class will cost them points. By leasing the cameras, they can delete incriminating footage at month's end, ensuring no penalties.
Point 2: Deleting past footage can recover lost points.
The first two weeks' violations (unknown to other classes) can be wiped clean—potentially restoring 900+ class points across all four classes.
(Note: Only Shimizu knows the school already took Week 1's data.)
Point 3: Fear of leaks (A/B-Class's biggest concern).
While the school banned Shimizu from reselling access, other classes don't know this.
This creates an information gap—even if A/B-Class avoided violations, two weeks of footage exist. Every word, every move by their leaders was recorded. If leaked, rivals gain "wallhacks"—full insight into their strategies.
This is why A/B-Class will pay.
Point 4: Psychological pressure.
Being watched is inherently uncomfortable. No one likes a 24/7 audience.
