Headscratchers / Bladedance of Elementalers

• Why does an elite school like Areishia Spirit Academy not have an insanely high tuition? You'd think that a school for nobility would make you pay out the nose. But Kamito (whose nobility only exists on paper) and Claire (whose family had their lands taken away) are able to attend without problems.
  • In Kamito's case, he's forced to attend by Greyworth, who presumably deals with everything related to tuition. In Claire's case, not only was she taken to the academy by Greyworth herself as well, she's mentioned in a side story to have her own income from acting as a private tutor. I don't remember if these explanations are actually used in the series, though.
