There were many acceptable virtual schools available to Ves and Gloriana.
Even though they might not have the sheer amount of cash on hand to pay the exorbitant tuition fees for most of them, it was not as if the Larkinson Clan was financially strapped.
The clan's finances were hardly leveraged as the LMC already generated a lot of revenue.
There was not much point in borrowing lots of money to accelerate the expansion of the LMC when there were many hard limitations to growth.
The limited access to scarce raw materials, the shortage of reliable and trustworthy trading partners, the entrenchment of competing mech designers at many locations and the increasingly more congested transportation channels all made it useless for the LMC to expand its production capacity and build more branches in different regions.
As such, the LMC and by extension the clan still had lots of room to borrow money if necessary.
