Mei beating Takako to the punch wouldn't have worked either, because many people on the show have gotten under the impression that the Extra student should have noticible differences or at the very least is a malicious monster hiding among the living. Two descriptions they see in Mei herself. Even if that wasn't  the case and they heard her name the first thing that would happen would be that Kouichi who is Mikami's nephew, Yuuya who has a crush on her and Izumi, who as a student that respects her teachers up to a certain point would try to defend Mikami the way Kouichi defended Mei.
