How could this be!
Jojo's heart was filled with disbelief and anger at betrayal—he was able to work at Sword Flower University, not only because he was a Two-winged Fist Claw Mage but also because his family had contributed significantly. His mother was a Griffin Meteorologist of the Griffin Corps, with a high status of Armor Knight; even in the entire Jiale City, his family was quite prominent.
However, a family like his without the support of a Holy Domain could rise and fall within a generation. Once his mother passed away, they'd revert to their original status, not to mention that although their Guard Palace nobility wielded power, accumulating wealth was difficult for them. Thus, the Guard Palace nobles often had to depend on the prosperous Close Palace nobles to form intricate networks of interests, just like Jojo's family relied on a Count Family that possessed a Holy Sanctuary Mage.
