Well,on the whole blackmail thing: I believe that it's not a matter of Jaune's position as a Beacon student that's at risk,but rather everybody's perception of him,especially team RWBY and the rest of JNPR,THEN the possibility of expulsion,most notably by Glynda Goodwitch. Either way,the drama and storytelling have taken a huge turn for the better!
