I was wondering about the same thing, but it's possible the NOT class hasn't even be taught about eating souls. We do know people who keep eating the souls of ordinary humans will start to turn into kishin. So, it's probably wise not to give them any ideas. They are weak, and thus could be easily influenced or tempted, out of fear, greed, or whatever motivation. The witch soul apparently should grant a power boost as well, and Tsugumi would be better off training herself first in a regular manner, only later turning on the turbo.
