Neither do people know his exact goals and ambitions except for the fact that he hates all forms of dark magic and has a motto of the destruction of said types of magic and those associated with it. Sword is the de facto leader of the School of Clashing Blades Smashing Fist even though it was established by Cyber Knight.
