He is still the idiotic moron who think everything is a elaborate play made by his lovely underling and all the villain he kill also suffer from extreme chuunibyou syndrome.

Perhaps it was because I found magic that the gate of reincarnation opened for me. Or whatever. Again, who cares. The most I could achieve would be the strength to beat up a few punks.
