Volume 2 - Probably not very. The timeframe (judging from the Video Production Diary) seems to me like it might be around the point of the Vytal Festival. There will be a marked improvement, but at the same time it won't be anything spectacular. Expect him to have a decent showing in the tourney to highlight his in partial thanks to some tougher competition likely outcompeted one another, I'd expect at least a few "friendly" fights like Ruby vs. Blake to take place and there's the often mentioned "Penny going rogue" theory that I still peg as would be happening with additional intent to remove Pyrrha and Yang from contention without weakening their characters.

Season 2 - Who knows exactly. We'll have to keep an eye on him during Volume 2. The Vytal Festival clashes with Pyrrha's initial training of him so we can't really see any truly drastic changes there if they do. Here it would be post tournament WITH Pyrrha's training well under way. I'd say he'd at least be on the same level as say Mai or Militia solo. Likely better than what we've observed of Team CDNL.
