Probably one of my most liked Main Characters since he uses his head a lot knows how to maintain supplies , subordinates and keep him and his group alive in a very efficient manner.
Looks like destiny cannot be denied even if you go back in time not taking proper precautions. Instead spending too much time on friends and forgetting about his mother's safety.
1 damage over a certain amount of time sounds pretty low tier compared to what the sage used on him unless he can level it up like 1 damage+ per level doing like a fixed amount of 50 damage over the set time period sounds pretty devastating. Mostly because time based attacks are more painful ...
A realistic logical approach they will grow into great fighters. They didn't hesitate to kill him like other people would their future potential is very promising.
Man has been using a sword for a couple of days given a unsharpened sword and came out on top against a guy with a real sword and has probably years of experience that is what we call a bad ass in the making
