Anastasia moved closer and grabbed Auguszta's wrist, carefully examining the metallic band wrapped around it. It took only a moment for her to understand exactly what had happened.
"It's just a Rank Three Tier Two Runeweave Sovereign Bracelet," she said, releasing Auguszta's hand before looking toward the others. "Even if sister isn't consciously resisting the scan, her naturally higher-ranked energy and Elemental Power will do so automatically." Her gaze returned to Auguszta.
"There's nothing you can do about it either sister. The only solution is obtaining a rank four bracelet. Otherwise, the passive resistance generated by your existence itself will continuously interfere with the scan and override its detection functions."
Anastasia shrugged. "It doesn't matter how cooperative you are or how precise your control is. Even a tiny strand of your energy would be enough to disrupt the process."
