Medieval courts and individual wealthy nobles often engaged in patronage and invited intelligent and promising people to live, study and work at their estates and covered their living costs. This was the custom when Remi was young, so it's only natural for her to continue doing this as she fancies herself a traditional and influential noble. Besides, she doesn't have the talent for utilizing those books on magic herself, let alone develop the thoughts, ideas and theories in them even further. She has her innate vampire magic powers, but whenever she needs something novel that lies outside of what her abilities can reproduce, she goes to Patchouli first.

The ones that know magic that you can learn from books. A human can never naturally be nearly as strong as a strong oni or a tengu, so no point in learning how to fight physically. For that to be generally viable, you'd need to find a way to somehow augment your inherent relative weakness like Byakuren did with magic, at which point you might as well go all the way and just focus purely on magic.

Alternative choices to this would be to learn whatever magic Reimu and Sanae use to bully youkai, or picking a 2hu who can directly make you powerful like Okina or Eirin, assuming they would agree to such a thing.
