Alex walks into the building with the different formation items. Only after entering did he realize that he didn't know the first thing about formation. He realized that what he knew about formations from the books and hearsay didn't even crack the surface.
There were items around him that he didn't even know the use for. People were talking about stuff he didn't understand at all.
'Damn, I thought knowing that it was just putting flags and items in a specific order was all it was, but it seems even they themselves are very specific. This is not any less extensive than alchemy, huh,' he thought.
'Still, I need to buy at least the most basic formation blueprint and required items. I want to start learning with it,' He thought.
Although, learning both Alchemy and formations might have him spreading himself too thin, but he had planned to focus on Alchemy more than Formations, so that should be fine.
