Sage has to be the second spell you cast that turn. Because its copy trigger is a cast triger, so the condition has to be true when you cast the Sage. Casting a second spell after the game has already checked the trigger condition will not retroactively trigger it.
Buster Sword's trigger allows you to cast, and REQUIRES you to cast the spell if you so choose, DURING its trigger's resolution. So casting the Sage with it means, it has to be the second spell you've cast this turn when Buster Sword's trigger resolves.
In essecne, you are confusing the second spell cast, with the second spell resolving.
