To Alex, giving up the knowledge of Energy Alchemy had been a far bigger decision than he allowed others to see.
Although he had rationalised the choice by reminding himself that he lacked the six Legendary-ranked Alchemy Grandmasters required to fully realise the technology, it had still been a difficult decision to make.
He had not even allowed himself to linger long enough to properly examine the rare SunHeart Blossom Seed before handing it to Eleanore and immediately moving on to the Anima Trial.
In truth, it would not be inaccurate to say that he had been running away from confronting the full weight of that decision.
That said, he did not truly regret what he had done.
After all, from a purely pragmatic perspective, Alex believed he had made the correct choice.
