Description
Kanata Age is a seventeen-year-old young man who resides on the floating wizard academy city of Mistgun. He is a second-year student in the regular courses and is known throughout the academy by several contrasting titles, having once been celebrated as the Black Master Swordsman and the elite ace of the special team known as S128. However, following a specific incident in battle, he became despised by many of his peers and is now commonly referred to as the traitor of the special team.
Physically, Kanata is characterized by his jet-black hair and blue eyes. His typical attire consists of the Mistgun school uniform, which includes a white shirt, a light brown sleeveless pullover, a red tie, a black coat, and black trousers. When acting in his capacity as a wizard, he wears a black vest with matching trousers and a blue jacket.
In terms of personality, Kanata presents a relaxed and often laid-back demeanor. He has a habit of forgetting to mention important details, a trait that has become a running characteristic. Despite his cold reputation as a traitor, he is deeply caring toward those he considers friends and is fiercely protective of his students. He appears largely indifferent to the scorn and whispers of those who label him a traitor, choosing to ignore them rather than defend his reputation. He is a person of his word, displaying strong determination and a willingness to defy authority to accomplish his goals. His training methods are highly unorthodox, often involving unusual tasks designed to address his students' psychological weaknesses rather than simply improving their combat skills.
Kanata's primary motivation stems from his role as the newly assigned instructor for the E601 platoon, a team notorious for suffering a long streak of consecutive defeats and being labeled as a group of delinquents. Despite his own traumatic past and his self-imposed distance from front-line fighting, he accepts the position and makes it his mission to transform these three misfit girls into the strongest Sky Wizards, vowing to prevent their team from being disbanded. His decision to stop fighting for more than six months prior to the story’s start, during which he worked in the logistics wing, was a direct consequence of a battle where he lured enemies away from his unconscious teammate Yuri, an act that the public misinterpreted as betrayal.
His key relationships are central to his character. He shares a deep, long-standing bond with Chloe Sevegny, who is his childhood friend from the age of seven; she is the one who later arranges for him to become the instructor of E601. He was also close friends with Lloyd Alwin and Yuri Flostre, his former teammates in the S128 special team. Lloyd remains one of the few people who does not view Kanata as a traitor. As an instructor, his primary charges are the members of E601: the proud and headstrong Misora Whitale, the shy and nervous Lecty Eisenach, and the narcissistic Rico Flamel. His relationship with them evolves from one of initial distrust and reluctance to a solid mentor-student bond as he helps them overcome their personal flaws and learn to work as a team.
Throughout the story, Kanata undergoes significant development. He begins as a withdrawn figure who has lost his will to fight, haunted by the public shame and the traumatic memories of his past mission. However, by taking on the role of instructor, he gradually re-engages with the world. His own resolve is reignited as he tests the resolve of his students, such as when he challenged Misora to vow on her mother's grave to become stronger. His past is slowly revealed, showing that he was not always the powerful ace; he started as a member of an E-rank team himself before rising to S-rank. This history informs his patience and his unique ability to see potential in those who have been written off as failures. He eventually resumes fighting, tapping into a mysterious and dangerous power known as the Black Aura, a curse-like ability from the Devourers that grants him tremendous strength and a healing factor but consumes his life force and mana reserves.
As a combatant, Kanata wields a black magical cannon sword named Gladius, which functions as a powerful melee weapon and can consume its user’s magical power to fire devastating long-range laser beams. He also uses a custom-built hoverboard called Blackhawk, which is significantly faster than standard flying devices, and a secondary dagger known as the Main Gauche. His signature technique is the Strike Blaster, a concentrated magical laser beam capable of destroying large groups of Devourers in a single shot. His most notable but dangerous ability is his Black Aura, which he gained after the incident that branded him a traitor. This power stains his aura black and grants him immense offensive capabilities and rapid regeneration, though its use permanently drains his life force.
