Plot of the previous episode.

Mashle plays great tennis

with no mercy.

The preliminary round of Divine Visionary Candidate Exam.

The Life Crystal continues.

(MASHLE: MAGIC AND MUSCLES The Divine Visionary Candidate Exam Arc)

You are Re.

For me,

one's strength is linked with musical notes.

Your strength is equivalent to Re

in Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Si Do.

The higher the pitch, the stronger one is.

So the two of you are

second to last in the eight-level ranking.

With your strength,

you cannot bring me spring.

Put down the crystal and leave.

Look, it's two against one now.

You don't have the right

to say such a thing!

Wulfes.

Roks.

We're well aware of Macaron's strength.

He's almost on par with a Divine Visionary.

But the two of us

have also each collected three gold credit coins.

We are also first-tier.

We won't lose in a two-against-one.

Sounds, Re of Lemon.

Wulf Shield!

He used a beginner's spell against us two.

We are all students.

How can there be such a big gap between us and him?

Darn it. I can't move my body.

My voice

is Si in Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Si Do.

The two of you combined are Re.

Do you see the difference?

He's so strong.

This is the end.

One team is disqualified. The exam concludes.

It's over before I even did anything.

That's nice.

Anyway, we passed this round.

Hooray.

Go, mushroom head!

Hmm, you're today's MVP, Mr. Mashle Burnedead.

Do you have anything to say about this preliminary round?

I want cream puffs.

What an irrelevant response! The interview is over!

It's suddenly so quiet.

Mashle Burnedead.

The hardest trial for you is about to begin.

Will we finally see his full strength?

It's said that he was the only one last year

who could confront Rayne Ames head-on.

Margarette Macaron is about to show his true abilities.

The summer of harvest.

I'm looking forward to the next exam.

Mashle.

What's the matter, Mashle?

Mike is telling me to stay vigilant.

Mike?

Your pectorals, I see.

Facing Macaron,

even Mushroom Head would find it hard to advance further.

What do you think, Principal Wahlberg?

Last year, Rayne Ames

became a Divine Visionary as a sophomore.

A big part of the reason

was that Macaron did not participate.

As the head of the Magic Talent Administration,

I review all candidates every year.

In my opinion,

the one closest to becoming a Divine Visionary in this school

is probably Margarette Macaron.

A few years ago,

I witnessed him dominate that tournament.

His Secondth magic impressed me very much.

Indeed.

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

You must be thinking that it's true under normal circumstances, right?

You really do care for him a lot.

What's so special about him?

I don't understand.

Macaron has the genuine ability to become a Divine Visionary.

But I don't think that Mushroom Head has it too.

This time, there's an overwhelming gap between them.

He made a fool of me in the preliminaries.

I will make sure that Mushroom Head doesn't get selected.

Macaron.

I heard that Mushroom Head can't use magic.

Go give him a good lesson for us Mages.

I can slip him something in his drink too.

Could you please not do these unnecessary things?

If you don't want trouble.

Understood?

I'm talking to you, too.

Orter Madl.

You just need to do your job well.

I won't say a thing.

Is that so?

Unyielding even in the face of Divine Visionaries.

That is Margarette Macaron.

If you ask why I exercise,

at first, my Pop made me do it.

Initially, I found it heavy and exhausting

and didn't like it.

However, during exercise, I found that the weight I could lift gradually increased.

Now, I can proudly say,

the reason I work out

is that

the dumbbells are right there, that's it.

Do you know why humans have arms?

It's to lift dumbbells.

Do you know why humans have legs?

Why is he talking when no one is listening?

If you ask why I'm a woman who makes people preoccupied.

The second one?

I wasn't like this at first.

But gradually,

his actions began to affect my mood.

If there's any reason that I'm a woman who makes people preoccupied,

it is because

the person I love is right there.

That's it.

What's this?

All this wasted time.

Can't I be that person for you?

You can't.

I want to go home.

- Can you make an exception? - I can't.

She dumped me.

It's time to have my protein shake.

You all have your own pace.

Nourishing the muscles

is also an important part of the training.

I admire that.

Your dedication is commendable.

I want that as well.

When did he...

You're the Divine Visionary who bullied me before.

By the way, that's him.

Why would Divine Visionaries come here?

I am very interested in you.

Do you want to play a game?

There's some time before the next exam.

No, I want to rest.

He refused.

Such an attitude towards Divine Visionaries.

You're bound to achieve great things.

Yes, I am.

I am the head of the Magic Talent Administration.

Everyone entering the Bureau of Magic

must be vetted by me.

Without my approval,

they cannot become a Divine Visionary.

There's no other way.

Although I am the head of the Magic Talent Administration,

- there's no other way. - I'll play.

I'll play.

- He suddenly got motivated. - I'll play.

But it wouldn't be right to let you play for nothing.

If you can win,

I will let you pass this exam unconditionally.

Pass the exam! That's good, Mashle.

What exactly is the game?

Just a simple game.

You Look, You Lose.

You Look, You Lose?

That suits me just fine.

I accept this challenge.

His fingers are moving so fast.

Mashle and the Divine Visionary Kaldo who showed up

will play a game called You Look, You Lose.

A circle?

It's a bit different from the original game.

We won't play rock-paper-scissors.

And I will determine the direction.

If you stay in that circle within three counts

and do not face the direction I point to, you win.

This rule seems to be in favor of Mashle.

What then?

OH

Understood.

We'll play three rounds.

If you dodge them all, you win.

Okay.

Let's begin then.

You Look, You Lose.

3.

- He attacked from the ground! - 2.

- I knew it wouldn't be so easy. - 1.

He wants to use magic to force Mashle to look up.

Zero.

That was close.

Not bad.

Then onto the next round.

You Look, You Lose.

Two directions!

3.

- He can't look to either side. - 2.

He can't dodge it.

1.

Zero.

You can catch such an attack with bare hands?

Interesting.

Very interesting.

The blade emits black flames.

The magical black flames attached to this sword

will burn you to ashes if you touch it.

You can't catch the attack like you did before.

DOWN

Scary.

Mashle, this is too dangerous!

Don't do it!

No.

Then onto the final round.

You Look, You Lose.

Three directions.

He'll lose if he doesn't look down.

3.

2.

So close.

1.

The moment he looked down, the sword attacked from below.

He can't look down anymore.

He pulled the circle out of the ground and flew up!

He dodged the attack while keeping the pose!

I looked to the right.

I lost.

No, that one doesn't count.

Let's call it a draw.

Is that okay?

Let's do that then.

But,

with your skills, it would be tough with Macaron.

Then I shall take my leave, goodbye.

Oh my, I broke out in a cold sweat.

- What's the matter, Mashle? - Nothing.

If he hadn't hesitated for an instant, I would have been in danger.

And he didn't chant any spells.

Mushroom head.

At first, he tried to block my sword with his forehead.

How reckless.

Does he have to go to such lengths to become a Divine Visionary?

If he dies, it's all for nothing.

But if he can take my side...

Then climb up and join us.

After a short break,

this moment has finally come.

The final exam is about to begin.

The final exam

is a one-on-one duel.

The rules are simple.

Make the opponent surrender or faint, you win.

LOSE WIN

The first duel begins now!

Adora Dorm, first-year,

the candidate with seven coins, which is the most among all,

Mashle Burnedead!

His opponent, Orca Dorm,

the candidate with five coins,

Margarette Macaron!

Come on, Mashle.

For your future

and your Pop's future.

The outstanding talent even in the long history of Easton,

Margarette Macaron.

This is your last test, Mashle Burnedead.

I'm sorry.

I can't let you proceed any further.

So please me with all you've got, that's the reason for your existence.

Mashle Burnedead.

Hilarious.

So the first duel...

Excuse me.

I need some energy replenishment before the exercise.

What a coincidence.

May I have some too?

With so much tartar sauce,

how do you taste the shrimp?

What are you talking about?

I was dipping the tartar sauce with the fried shrimps.

Fried shrimp exists to make the tartar sauce

taste even better.

SHOCKED

Your eyes don't look right.

You seem like a formidable opponent.

Oh no, by my standards and experience,

the more mentally ill, the stronger they are.

Which means he is a dangerous opponent.

Orter has his reasons

for choosing Macaron.

From the first attack to this exam,

the reason he hasn't done anything

is that he trusts Macaron's strength.

Meaning Macaron can make sure

to take out Mashle Burnedead.

That's how big the gap between their strength is.

Well, here I come.

That's amazing.

What kind of magic is this?

Uh, I feel uncomfortable.

Are you okay?

It can't be helped that you got involved.

His magic power is just that astounding.

This is the power of a pre-Divine Visionary.

You must pass this test, Mashle Burnedead.

Nalcos.

That's basic magic.

What? Mashle should be able to handle it with ease.

This is a lot like bowling.

Mashle couldn't catch the ball.

He's going to hit the wall!

- Mashle! - Mashle!

It's not over yet, is it?

- He's gone. - Where did he go?

Spine Magic.

Hell Fall.

That's brutal.

Right down into the ground.

This should be able to decide the winner.

He took out Macaron with just one hit.

How did Mashle

get away from that previous attack?

Didn't he hit the wall?

He walked backwards.

Mashle realized

that he couldn't catch the magic.

So, he retreated even faster than the magic

and dodged before hitting the wall.

Eh? That's scary.

By the way, bowling and catching,

it doesn't sound like a magic school at all.

Well, whatever.

Look.

He's unscathed!

How exactly did he do it?

It's not over yet.

I am far from satisfied.

You understand, right?

Mashle Burnedead.
