Rana and Satellizer are like opposites in their normal modes (one is very cheerful and outgoing while the other is very shy and closed off), but they really are very similar in a number of ways. They are both quite cold and fairly ruthless once they get irritated. Rana will not stand for injustice, and Satellizer does not stand for being pushed around. They also both have 6 stigmata, so they should be on an equal level of power. Truthfully, I like the triangle conflict. Satellizer will be threatened and grow a greater desire to keep the one Limiter she feels she can finally trust. Rana clearly resonated with Kazuya's power, so she will be equally keen on establishing territory.

It seems that Atia (silver hair in rolls), Elizabeth (wavy blonde), and the other two schemers are all too eager to pit one outcast (or likely soon to be in Rana's case) transfer student against another.

But that doesn't mean the third years are entirely wrong. Genetics is a military academy, and Ingrid last episode was correct even though she was misguided about the why. An order is established through the carnivals, and it should be maintained. Perhaps it isn't the best approach because many of the girls end up hating each other, but gross insubordination shouldn't be tolerated. Certainly various third-years are abusing their power, but the three girls here would have been forced to obey either Satellizer or Ganessa had either of them showed up. Rana will likely be a second-year given her combat aptitude, but she'll still be on the bottom having missed the carnival. She could see a fair amount of abuse coming her way shortly.
