Damn. The author really f'd up this story. The main character is so arrogant and retarded that after being easily debuffed by a wizard, he still doesn't want to learn anything about magic. In fact, he said he'll just keep relying on the ring that ahole gave him that's been trying to control him. It doesn't get any stupider than that. If he combined magic with his martial arts, he'd be unstoppable. He might even figure out a way home all by himself. Instead we get this $#!%.
