I'd imagine everyone's a bait and those two are "demoted" to have more time to watch the streets and catch those Traitors who hunt the students. I reckon the reason why they didn't fight now was to avoid blowing their cover. It's true they seemed to be guarding the main girls, but it could also simply be because the girls took the part-time job and were thus hitting the common streets a lot, making them more likely targets for the villains.

It's easy to see why they would belong to EAT; I think there were much weaker guys around in the original series. Akane even emitted his soul like Black Star and Stein, which is apparently an advanced skill, or even a special talent.
