You either RP the Chosen One by finding an older Red Mage to train you, or you are an 'older' Ala Mhigan who was trained back in the days?
I don't know anything about Monks, they didn't interest me. (Gasp)
From where I stand, it's a lot more open to creative interpretation. The main questline focuses expressly on Red Boy Tia and his own little circle but it's never expressly said "The Crimson Duelists are the only RDM's." ((Disclaimer: I'm halfway through the line, correct me if need be. ))
And tbh even if it did it wouldn't make sense to me because that would mean whatever stash of "Ancient Texts" they found around the time of Theodoric would be the only and last info on Red Magic which would be very hard for me to believe considering it's borderline 'contemporary' if you consider the sheer scope of Eorzea's timelines.
Additionally, Red Boy Tia mentions the following:

Ultimately, you have the same bit here that you have with a lot of jobs and soulstones. Study the lore, write the backstory, put in the effort, make it make sense.
