At the end he was tried as mentally unfit, in real life that does not meet he'd get released. The only thing pleading insanity could save him from would be the death penalty. a psych ward is not a place any sane person wants to be in. The whole "pleading insanity gets you off with lighter charges" isn't true. You could even spend more time in the mental ward than you were actually sentenced for. If they found him guilty, insane or not, he would never out of prison ever again.

if she cant get back to her old body: her and icy when they both are adults, right now she's mentally an adult so its a no for me. MAybe her little rich girl rival /friend too.
if she can get back into her original body: her and with either of her devoted sidekicks. and why not mr mass-murder, what the hell.
ultimately as she is right now, an adult in a child's body: no ships can work. Itd be unbalanced and kinda creepy lol

He was dead for 400 years while she was training, and he's still better somehow? She's been training with his methods for longer than he has been alive, but he still needs to be better huh? Alright I'm done.

I'm not mad about him being OP. There's actually reasons why he is OP, and that doesn't bother me. The fact that his female apprentice who has been training and learning the entire time he;s been dead, is wack. MC was one of the strongest in his time, and he's super OP now bc the level of magic mastery is lower. He was able to overcome his lack of talent or natural ability, but I'm assuming the apprentice doesn't have that handicap and she had far more time to hone her abilities.
TLDR; MC being OP is fine and makes sense narratively, his apprentice still being weaker than him doesn't make sense.
theres too many fuckin characters. how am i supposed to be interested in any of them when they keep adding more??? this is just stressing me out. i give up.
Seriously tho, I cant keep track of whos who
