I doubt Sensei is dead but he and Gematria are explicitly Outsiders. They came from elsewhere and don’t delve much into it. Though the rest isn’t far-off
One of them, the Underground Dweller talks about the world as if it’s a tabletop game. While it’s seemingly to show how little he cares (other Gematria members talk of it in their own terminology) and a critique of, well, basement dwelling manchildren, his exposure gets more meaningful when he tells us he came from the same Celestial Panteon as The Fury of Set, which is a remnant of the previous world.
It indicates that Kivotos really is in a constant cycle of rebirth and the previous incarnation of the girls were more primal violent gods like Horus of the Dawn being currently Hoshino.
He isn’t even confused the current theme is “Academy City” more like he doesn’t see fighting Sensei (a Teacher) in these conditions as something fair. This lines with Golconde calling out that as long as Kivotos remains an Academy City, direct confrontation with a teacher is guaranteed loss.
