X actually didn't pay her school fees in trash, though she understood what Aylia meant -- she bought a few nice rolls of aluminum foil, unwound them, folded them up into thick rectangles, and paid her tuition with that.  She got the idea because one of Aylia's alchemy books mentioned aluminum as a really costly spell component, yet X knew perfectly well it wasn't.  So she stored this interesting piece of trivia in her mind, and has kept a passive eye open for any other economic discrepancies.
