Is this a ploy by Edward to get more info on Kate's powers ?

And also maybe discredit her in front of the newbies so they come to hate her and sow discord in the children's wing ?

What's Kate's boss level music sound like?

Let's keep in mind the possibility that it's not Kate at all. Remember, during the time with Oliver/Ollie when she was trapped in the bottle, Kate herself successfully made a fake clone. I can easily imagine an adult with far more advanced powers who can use their soot to make convincing remote controlled fakes. We've seen this kind of subterfuge throughout the series, going back to when Maryrose pretended making use of her soot powers, it's well established we have to be cautious about taking things at face value.

That said yes if Edward surprised the Star Bearers too by forcing them to get involved it'd also be interesting and challenging, and indeed would accomplish multiple goals for him. But it's also not clear how he'd have the leverage to do that. Conversely, Kate might well have accepted it in the interest of delaying things, attracting Edward's focus/attention, and buying more time for the covert rescue OP going on. Anthony also is plotting in the background to all this. All sorts of wheels within wheels lol, at least 4-5 factions all with their own plots and agendas, and even the ones that might theoretically be "on the same side" are hampered by lack of communication. Delightfully cloak and dagger.

Kate got the higher ground, they're finished.

 

[Nunally]

Kate's in fighting mode 🥳

 

[ReikoLupus]

Of course they have to hold back to some extent, otherwise it would be impossible for the new kids to even hace a chance against the top of the Children's Wing...
...But even like that, this is some absolutely ruthless tactic from this man.
Literally forcing the children to fight each other...

Last page goes hard!

 

[Coldlight]

The Laurel/Lulu pair is kinda cute. I hope they don't end up flunking like Ram/Shirley did...

Wait, Edward had a role for Kate to play in the debut? That's surprising. Is that really Kate herself and not some shapeshifting soot power? I'm suspicious about her sudden appearance...

But the clones can't talk

I just want another Reona song in another season. I'm listening to this song in a loop.

Jammer is included in Season 2 opening single CDs

Thanks Palmtop Scans.

Kate, Douglas, Evelyn, Oliver.
Me thinks Kate will be the easiest to win in a battle because of her frail body.

But the clones can't talk

Can't they? Edward has sound power with his soot. Further there are simple tricks for this, like just throwing one's voice, that can still be effective. The chapter makes a specific point here of reminding us as readers that previously there was a door where there are now stairs and it was open below. That's been covered this time, but has it been filled? An adult could be directly underneath without them knowing.

Though again it could certainly be Kate, and that Edward somehow forced her into it... or thought he did. But we probably shouldn't take much we see in this entirely as obvious at first glance is all.

I assume Kate isn't the only one guarding a stamp, they probably have one for each Star Bearers. Though as far as I recall, there are only four right now, and I only see four on the map...
