Honestly with the lack of magic users you’ve got and the difficult chapters that are coming up, it might still be a good idea to make Hayato a dark flier. Flying utility also helps. He will certainly do a better job than he’s doing as a nine-tails, honestly idk why you didn’t do it before. You could try to get Hayato to level 15 beforehand during the next paralogue, so he gets Grisly Wound. Then he can do some magical chip if he doesn’t kill.
