"From what I heard, the scab that looks like an armored shell will only last for 48 hours after it forms due to the injury you received," Maximilian explained.
"What do you mean?" Ricardo asked, still not fully understanding.
"It's the power of the EF ability you just gained. From what I know—according to my brother—this ability hardens the area where you receive trauma, giving it resistance to the same type of injury if it happens again.
For example, if you suffer blunt trauma to your stomach, after regeneration, that area will become tougher and gain better shock absorption to prevent the same damage from occurring again.
This means, if you're struck with 3000 newtons of force, the same as a heavyweight boxer's punch, the next strike to the same area would need at least 6000 newtons for you to even feel it. Otherwise, you'd just shrug it off.
The same logic applies to cuts and slash-type injuries as well," Maximilian explained.
