Seriously, its all in NT9. If you can't figure out what his character growth was in this volume even when it is practically spelled out for you then you'll probably never understand.

In the past there were people who after reading the the light novels had some legitamate things they could criticize Touma for. NT9 addressed practically all of them in one go (arguably because they came from the same fundamental problem of Kamijou). There are actions that Kamijou takes in NT10 that he would never have done pre-NT9. He has become a better character.

There's no point in explaining if you looked down on his character in OT as there were so many hints about his character from the very beginning that were told to us without hiding but were basically shrugged aside by everyone because of how trivial they appeared to be.
