Bab 72: Chapter 72: Wally Is In Trouble?

Going back a while ago...

"So what about the men that came into the store a while back? Are they gone?" Nafir asked Lucas as he stared at him.

Lucas already knew that Nafir was using his special lie detection technique, but he wasn't worried about it. The Host Protection Mechanism of the store automatically blocked out all mental arts from affecting him. The issue however, was in the HPM.

The Host Protection Mechanism didn't block out attacks but absorbed them, just like a sponge would absorb water. This led to a situation where the attacker wouldn't feel any feedback from their attack. In the case of Nafir and his mental spell, receiving no feedback, even if it was a rebound, would give rise to suspicions and this wouldn't bode well for Lucas.
