Kanata Age

**Kanata Age** (カナタ・エイジ *Kanata Eiji*) is a young man who lives on the floating wizard academy city of "Mistgun". He was once celebrated as the "Black Master Swordsman," the elite ace of the S128, a special team. However, he is now despised as the "traitor of the special team". One day, he is assigned as the instructor of E601, a team that has suffered 10 consecutive defeats. He's in his second year of regular courses.

As a wizard, he wears a black vest with black trousers and a blue jacket. In the manga, his left ear is pierced.

## Personality

He seems to be laid back. Kanata cares about those he calls friends very much. He will give his team various jobs which are generally unusual to make them stronger. He doesn't seem to care about people calling him a "Traitor" so he just mostly ignores them. He is also very determined and will not back out on his words and will get the job done one way or the other also doesn't seem to care about authority.

## Weapon & Abilities

### Weapons

* **The Sword of Destruction** "**Gladius**"- It is a magic cannon sword that is colored pure black. It has the ability to consume the user's magic power to shoot a powerful laser beam just like regular magic cannon swords.
* **Blackhawk** - Kanata's custom-built hoverboard that's three times faster than standard flying devices.
* **Main Gauche** - Kanata's secondary weapon, a dagger that he's used since his earlier Sky Wizard career, possibly before receiving Gladius, and mainly uses when Gladius isn't needed. In the manga it is a double-edged dagger, while the anime it is more akin to a combat knife, looking similar to Gladius.

### Abilities

* **Strike Blaster** - Magic Cannon Sword Battle Art that can shoot a powerful laser beam that can decimate the crowds of Beetles.
* **Black Aura** - Not much is known about this form of power that Kanata uses but it is known as the curse/power of the beetles. This black aura gives him tremendous power as he was able to decimate the new type of Chimera and beetles with Single Striker Blaster and an incredible healing power that can heal minor wounds in mere seconds. However, it is noted that this curse/power is slowly draining his life force away as well as the reason for the decrease in his high magical reserve.
* **Limit Skill - Flash Sword** - This is a Sword Art with restricted use due to the physical strain on the body, in which Kanata uses his magic power to accelerate his arm speed to the limit. Its burden is so much that even he can only use it four times a day.
* Highly analytical and pretty fast in figuring out weakness his students' (or opponents') weakness and how to remove said weakness.
