==Plot==
Yagami walks into the MRC to see Toribe taking pictures and asking for advice from a detective on how to chase the Professor as a photographer. The club's current theme of delinquency dictates that its members take photos of such a subject. She states she wants to use the pictures to force the delinquent students to see their actions in an objective manner. Toribe needs assistance on taking photos of criminals because they normally try to attack her. She directs him to the club room on the third floor of the east building.
At the club room, Toribe states their target is a student suspected of pickpocketing and she needs Yagami to take a picture of him while he is doing so. She states she does not intend to turn the evidence over to the police, but to enlighten the student. They go to the Jinnai Station ticket gate to find their target, Fujimaru. Yagami takes a focused photo of Fujimaru stealing the wallet at max zoom with a grin on his face.
Toribe confronts Fujimaru with the photo and makes a speech that is too complicated for Fujimaru to properly understand. Thinking he is being blackmailed, Fujimaru gets violent, but Yagami subdues him, after which Toribe makes Fujimaru look at the picture again. Seeing the similarities between himself and his imprisoned brother, Fujimaru agrees to stop being a pickpocket. They return to the club after Fujimaru leaves and reflect on the power of photography. Toribe asks for Yagami's help with more delinquent students.
Yagami returns to the club later and meets the former president Hikawa, who offers to lecture Yagami on the philosophy of photography, but he declines. After Hikawa leaves, Toribe discusses their next target: a group of delinquent students who have become part of a small motorcycle gang and are riding without licenses or helmets. They wait on Isezaki Road - around which the bikers are circling - to take a photo before police arrival scatters them. Yagami takes a focused max-zoon photo of all the bikers causing trouble for the citizens. When he is successful, Toribe stands in their way, confident they will stop in time, which they do so.
Toribe confronts the bikers and Yagami, intending to avoid a similar situation with Fujimaru, steps in to try and clarify Toribe is not blackmailing them, but the leader Honjo is led to think they are extorting him because his father is a real estate company president. After Yagami defeats them, Toribe makes them see the picture again and is able to convince them to change their ways.
Hikawa meets them at the club room and tells Toribe he learned she is seeking the Professor. He dissuades her, saying she "shouldn't bring personal philosophy into a power struggle," then takes his leave. Toribe interprets the warning as him being worries about her, citing that the words of philosophers are not meant to be taken at face value.
Toribe is lost in thought when Yagami visits her later, and she reveals she found a note blackmailing Saiga. The note states the author is aware of Saiga's affair with a third-year student and has a photo of it, demanding 2 million yen in ransom, or he will inform the Professor and the Neo Keihin Gang. The note asks to meet on the second floor of the parking garage on South Sakura River Street. With the lead on the Professor, Yagami and Toribe decide to follow it. Saiga demands for the letter, but Toribe hides it and tells him Amasawa has it. Fearing for the trouble she could cause with the letter, Saiga runs out.
When Toribe and Yagami reach the parking lot, she notes the presence of suspicious men, which Yagami assumes are Neo Keihin Gangsters. While Toribe stays behind, Yagami uses stealth to approach the site of the exchange. He sees that the blackmailer is Hikawa, and takes a focus picture at max zoom of him receiving the money, his face clearly visible. He gives the picture to Toribe, who is distraught by seeing her mentor commit blackmail, and storms off to question him. When they arrive, the Neo Keihin Gangsters say Koga informed them of Yagami and fight him, but are defeated.
Yagami and Toribe take Hikawa and Saiga to the MRC room. Hikawa admits to using the Professor's website to learn about Saiga's affair, and was contacted by the Professor, who told him the time and place where Saiga and Machikawa would meet. He states he needed the money to attend university. Toribe shows him the photo of the money exchange and expresses her disappointment in him. Yagami discusses what to do next with Saiga. 
The next day, Yagami tells Toribe the money was returned and Hikawa will not be punished as Saiga was partially responsible, and that Saiga had stepped down. Hikawa arrives to state he was unable to forgive himself and withdrew from the school, having felt a large impact from the photo. He states he also had an epiphany and chose to spend his youth taking photos from around the world. At the MRC, Amasawa states it is very rare for the Professor to contact a student directly.
