Characters
Kanata Akagi
Kanata, the Sword Master, is a high school student from a declining family of mages. Since his father lacked any magic circuits, he was raised to live a normal life rather than that of a mage. As such, he is not gifted with magic. The only magic he knows how to do is slow objects by touching them. Having lived a normal life, he is also unused to combat and tends to panic and freeze in life-threatening situations.

After meeting Kanata while he is traveling back in time to 1945, she attempts to summon Saber but is interrupted when a Lancer-class Servant attacks them and Kanata's light novel falls into her summoning circle, acting as a catalyst to summon Saber and binding her to Kanata, much to Tsukumo's dismay.
