Well, Katalist is pretty unique and Amoral Quest is an unashamed rip-off so....not really.
Ok, I'm going off my memory here, but I'm pretty sure that when Trent is harassing our ass, Beatrice (the girl nightwalker with tied-up hair) interrupts him, reminding him that the principal requires us, also Trent does insinuate that same thing by saying something along the lines of "I know the principal is protecting you, but stray out of line and I will fucking murder you)
Also, reminder that the school never really takes transfer students, we are the exception.

Trent is found late night in front of the school gates along with Jeremy.
The thing that is missing is why Trent sends Walter to kill Dilan, Trent even says he didn't expect a succubus to be confrontational. Either they're very disorganized or don't exactly know much about Dilan, Alex also has no idea what Dilan is. Either way the underlings don't really know Dilan.
It's also worth mentioning that Dominic so far hasn't attracted Gatastate's interest despite him being a dangerous magician who knows the school's secret since the start of the game.
One thing I don't see people mention is the plantation Walter's head gets sent to, it would make sense for him to become a failed pearl, considering that him as a "pearl" failed his task. Maybe we'll see him later?

To my interpretation the failed pearls are the ones which failed to grow into a nithling. When you ask Alex about the place, she tells you there's a lot of failed pearls here, and that the overseer won't get away with this or smth along those lines
So it's more like they didn't grow as intended imo
Also, we don't know if Magicians can be turned into Nithlings. We know Beverly could be brought under the tower because she's a demi but maybe she already has Nihtling blood ? Otherwise why didn't they took Dominic and Emily ?..

all i know is that his level is very high and his type is ???
like in the game file dominic is magician with this amount of xp[30036] while john is ??? with this amount of xp[1415996]
The subordinates being underinformed about Dilan makes sense, especially in Alex's case. Considering how unruly some of the Nihtlings are, higher-ups like Deverou probably wouldn't readily divulge details about something as (presumably) important as Dilan.
I actually think it's not surprising how Gatastate hasn't paid Dominic much mind, since up to this point his comprehension of Niht doesn't seem to be substantial. Plus, I get the impression that lorewise his power level might not be particularly high (considering how easily exhausted he is by working portals and inconsistently beating Dilan (?)), so they might've assessed his capabilities and concluded he cannot do much to sabotage the Nihtlings' operations.
The matter of where Walter ended up is intriguing; it's been easier to view Nalid and where he is as vaguely metaphysical, since he seems to show a keen grasp of Dilan's mind that he feels like an alter ego of sorts, but a real, modern-day person having been there changes things. It is confusing why Walter would revert to a child, then endure the same fate as his older self, though.
Like GOATeed mentioned, an actual "failed" pearl probably means they didn't get nurtured properly; at the least, they are still technically alive. On a similar note regarding pearls, Walter ultimately getting sent to a place where Nalid and his pal are tasked with watering plants might hold some implications for what the plantation is for.

John is going to end up being the Sans of Katalist. He looks goofy but he secretly knows stuff he does not let out and is an absolute monster in a fight.

Them being disorganized to this point gives more credence to the theory that they aren't informed about Dilan, remember, going by Walter's secret cutscene, the nihtlings killing students and having Alan erase their parent's memories seems to be commonplace, you would think they would be told to back off immediately, not to mention only being watched after interacting with Macky, going by Occam's razor it's better to go with the simplest explanation rather than tack on assumptions on top of assumptions.
Dominic certainly knows the school's secret as evidenced by his journal, and it's not exactly straight up power that makes him dangerous, he's very smart and manipulative, has a huge network of allies in the Occult club, Vaila and even special boy Dilan, not to mention powerful abilities like mind control and portal creation.
The Nalid thing is just the way you're seeing things according to the route you took, in Nalid's case it's the "my own" path. He gets decapitated because that's what you're doing IRL, pick the Warmth route and Bonnie is there while you decapitate him with the pocket knife, pick the cold route and you'll have a cold dinner with Katja. Why tag? There's actually a broken event where you can play tag with Walter in school and gain cuteness, that's what the Nalid route is referencing.
