Chapter 32
Oh, Your Majesty. I wish to express my gratitude for reserving your precious time for someone like me. (?)
It was five days after a mere 12-year old boy subjugated anundead, ancientdragon causing a huge uproar in the royal capital.
The place was the audience hall of the royal castle, where King Helmut the 37th granted his nations Head Magician, Klimt Christoph von Armstrong(T/N: >>Kurumito Kurisutofu fon Amusutorongu 1had the appearance of a younger 30-year old on a first look, but in reality the true age of his youthful physique was actually nearing 40 years.
He was a genius who has worked as the kingdoms Royal Head Magician for about ten years. Furthermore he possessed a rather large build. (T/N: Yep, FMA now he just needs to take off his clothes to show his muscles)
He is 210 centimeters in height and weighs over 130 kilogram; in other words, you could call him a bear of a man.
Because he was a magician he wore a robe, although the inner part of the robe was filled with steel-like muscles. (T/N: Lol)
Furthermore, the wand he held in his hand was also amazing.
It was nearly as long as his own height, difficult to be held by a magician. Usually a wand is made out of wood but this one was completely made out of mithril. At the tip there was a deep red magic crystal attached with a size of the degree of a watermelon. (ED: Isnt it more of a mace than wand now?!)

Based on his appearance, rather than a magician he could certainly be labelled asa martial artist, warrior, or something along those lines. Even if you assumed him to be a magician after all, he would be categorized as the type specialized in combat.
He had trained his body to the limits to use the vast amount of mana he possessed. With his ultra high speed flight magic, which allowed him to freely maneuver in all directions, his enemies were pulverized.
Moreover, Armstrong-doushis magic attribute of the emission system was nothing to sneer at in regards to its power.
Its shape wasnt spherical, but appeared in the shapes of a snake and he was capable of controlling up to 8 such bodies, freely and all at once, which were made out of fire and ice.
There was no need to talk about its obvious power.
Since this world has not had a war in quite a while, this combat-type Royal Head Magician was appointed to his position because of his peculiar, offensive magic in these times of pursuing a balance and peace.
At the military exercise which was performed once a year, he was endowed with a strategic class fighting strength which had earned him the titleOne Man Army2.
If a war was about to start, an unskilled invasion with an army corps, with a troubling composition, could be easily massacred by Armstrong himself without concern for their numbers.
Those were the honest opinions of the Holy Empire Urguharts army top brass.
To meet you, We dont mind spending some of Our time. (Helmut)
I am extremely honored. (Armstrong)
An audience for the Royal Head Magician might seem weird as the king of a whole country certainly was busy with various issues. Thus no matter how much he was a Royal Head Magician, it wasnt a simple feat to have a long conversation with His Majesty. His previous words served as proof of that.
Nevertheless, Helmut the 37th put in great efforts to meet Armstrong-doushi as soon as possible.
Only that could serve as proof of his trust in Armstrong.
Fumu. Sorry for troubling you with the scouting mission in the Palkenia Grasslands. (Helmut)
Not at all, the scouting mission was quite easy. This reconnaissance has already been done directly by seven generations of Royal Head Magicians after all. Though there is no new information to report either. (Armstrong)
So, thats how it is. Just as before, as long as theGrade Grande(T/N: >> guredo gurando > Burukkuna > Edoga Translation Notes
1doushi translates as officiating monk or spiritual guide.
2Originally it would be someone rivalling one army corps but that sounds boring, doesnt it?
