uniform enchantment

"Ladies, go change because I'll help you improve the enchantments on your uniforms. Shin, you could do the same for the boys for their safety," I said, attempting to change the subject.

When they heard what I said, everyone nodded. Uncle Diss seemed particularly pleased as he also wanted his son to have stronger enchanted clothing since no one knows what accidents might happen in the future.

"Shin, while you perform the enchantments, I want you to pay attention to the reactions of everyone around you, so you can handle your affairs," Grandma Melinda advised.

"Yuri, since you're also interested in magical enchantments, pay attention to how we do it," I reminded.

"Yes, I will," Yuri replied seriously.

Afterward, both Shin and I started enchanting each other's uniforms. In Shin's case, he used the spells 'Perfect Magical Protection,' 'Complete Impact Absorption,' 'Weather Protection,' and 'Self-Healing.'

When everyone saw him place these enchantments, they were astonished.

"By the way, Shin, even though it seems you've used characters you're familiar with, what kind of effects do they have?" Uncle Diss asked.

"Absolute Magical Defense completely disperses all magic. Complete Impact Absorption nullifies kinetic effects from physical impacts. Self-Healing can heal any wound, but it can't cure diseases. And Anti-Incrustation is the same as before."

"Well, even if I say this, because this is a magical tool, it won't work unless it's imbued with magical power. And above all, it needs quite a bit of it. So, caution must be exercised because it's not something you should always be using. It also won't necessarily activate to protect you during a surprise attack. However, I think it should prevent a situation where you get attacked in the middle of casting a spell, as there's a lot of magic gathered in you when you try to use magic, right?"

"This is something I want you all to understand. The uniform is a magical tool and needs magical power to activate, so it can't be used continuously. It's similar to the saying, 'although lamps and candles produce light, firewood is still necessary for a fireplace.'"

When Shin finished speaking, everyone looked at him in amazement as they had never seen anything like it before. Afterward, they all turned their attention to me, expecting me to perform my own enchantment.

I took a moment to think, and after a few minutes, I finally found the necessary enchantments and began inscribing them. Mine were 'Touch of Life,' 'Nullification,' 'Infinity,' and 'Absorption.'

When everyone saw my four spells, they were puzzled since they didn't understand their names or meanings like Shin's, which were somewhat self-explanatory.

"Ryu, can you explain what your enchantments do?"

"Touch of Life is similar to Shin's but can heal anything imaginable, though the amount of mana required depends on the severity of the injury. Nullification, as the name suggests, can nullify any attack within a certain range, be it magical or physical. It complements the next enchantment, which is Infinity, which creates an infinite distance between your body and any other object, so nothing can touch you unless you want it to. Finally, Absorption absorbs mana from the surroundings and stores it so that in case you run out of energy during a fight, you can recharge using the mana stored in your suit."

When everyone heard me, they fell silent, as they didn't understand everything but grasped some important points, which left them very surprised.

"I see, now I understand what Melinda was talking about. Certainly, if this were to be revealed to the public, it would undoubtedly be an object on the level of a national treasure or even greater. And being able to easily grant such enchantments, I must say, is as expected..." Uncle Diss sighed in a serious tone.

"It's an incredible matter, without a doubt. However, Father, this is..." August was trying to recall.

"Ah, I understand. Shin, Ryu, do you mind?" Uncle Diss asked.

"What's the matter, Uncle Dis?" Shin said as I looked at him in response.

"The enchantment magic you've granted is incredible. No, it's actually too incredible. However, it would cause a serious problem if it were sold on the market. So, you absolutely must not reveal it to others," Uncle Diss reminded seriously.

"It's not like I had that kind of plan to begin with, but what if the word gets out?" Shin asked hesitantly, while I simply shook my head.

"That's the point. When that happens, if the words of this enchantment reach the military..."

"If the words reach them..."

"There's a high possibility that our military will express their desire to declare war on neighboring countries," August responded.

"Declare war!?" I watched as Shin was surprised to hear that.

"They won't have to fear any magical attacks, and attacks from bows, spears, and swords will also become ineffective. They won't need to wear heavy armor either, but as long as they're not severely injured, they'll receive immediate healing. If a massive number of soldiers wearing armor with such an enchantment were to gather... don't you think it's possible for them to crush the armed forces of other countries?" August said seriously.

"T-that's..."

"Human beings are susceptible to temptation. When they believe they have an overwhelming advantage over other countries, it's very likely they will declare war. Someone who falls into that temptation will surely emerge," Uncle Diss commented.

"That's... I see... It must be like that... I really didn't think of such possibilities," Shin said with a sigh.

"Oh... Shin has... Shin has reflected for the first time!" Grandma Melinda cheerfully celebrated.

"It's okay, Shin, you don't have to worry too much about it. Just focus on the people who matter to you because you can't always try to act like a hero. Moreover, even if many people wear these suits, it doesn't mean they're invincible and can do whatever they want," I said as I handed the uniforms to the girls.

"What do you mean?" Uncle Diss asked, furrowing his brow.

"I mean that sometimes you can't save everyone when very serious incidents occur. So, even though it hurts, you'll have to choose between saving strangers or your loved ones... At that moment, you won't have much time to think, so you should have an answer in your heart. It may sound harsh and all, but it's reality. Not everyone can be saved in moments of disasters; it all depends on your strength."

"Lastly, even if an army of people wears these suits, they wouldn't be of any use against someone with absolute strength. Just as putting a big shell on an ant won't help against someone strong enough to crush that shell, in the end, you're still an ant..."

"In the case of an army using these things, it doesn't mean they'll be invincible. This continent is vast, and there are many people who can easily sweep them aside with a simple attack or move. The same goes for the kingdoms; there will always be strong people hidden, so you shouldn't get carried away... That's why I want to remind you all, even if you wear this clothing, you shouldn't neglect your training because sooner or later, you'll encounter someone strong enough to destroy it, and you'll be defenseless."

I finished speaking in a serious tone because I didn't want them to become overconfident about something like this and later regret it. Moreover, I've been discovering various things lately regarding these demons, which has made me realize that this issue is not as simple as it may seem.
