Lawrence knew why most people won't higher the difficulty of the challenge at the start is because they were afraid to go bankrupt if they lose many times, so people like Lawrence are rare in the receptionist eye, and the need to pay is because if the league cover the cost of repairs in every battle then they would go bankrupt, because there was hundreds of people challenging in every gyms everyday, so what they did was to make a rule that you will need to pay in every challenge but the league will not pay the gym leader but just give them authority and privilege as well access to rare material

The curriculum of magic was introduced but not pursued until the children showed they had the spark. The spark meaning the natural affinity for magic. Typically it would appear during their pubescent years; although there are rare cases of it appearing at a younger or older age.

i absolutely love the development so far, the interaction between MC and the other characters is both funny and serious when needed to be, the world building is well done so far, ans the magic system seems to be very open ended which I love, good work so far
