MASHLE: MAGIC AND MUSCLES (マッシュル-MASHLE-)

Divine visionaries.

These individuals stand as the foremost magic users

in the world as well

as the force that keeps it running.

New Divine Visionaries receive an offer to join

the Bureau of Magic--

the supreme legal institution in this world.

After joining, they handle the majority

of tasks involving magic.

They also serve the public as state-sanctioned forces

protecting society from those that would harm it.

Previously...

all: Yay! Yay!

- After emerging victorious in the battle against

the Magia Lupus,

Adler claimed all the coins Lang had to offer,

without a doubt bringing Mash and friends closer

to becoming Divine Visionaries.

However...

As a result of the battle against Cell War,

rumors of Mash's inability to use magic spread

throughout the academy.

- Phew. It took a little work, but we managed to pull it off.

Let's celebrate after school. -

Did we really pull it off, though?

I saw everything!

There's a student here who can't even use magic?

I'm reporting you all to the teachers!

all: He can totally use it! He can totally use it!

- But just now-- all: He can totally use it!

He can totally use it!

He can totally use it! - Sure.

All we did was shout that guy into submission.

We need to figure out a plan before things--

- Hey, Mash Burnedead! both: Huh?

Word around the halls is you're not able

to use magic.

We're ruined already!

- So are the rumors true, Mash? You really can't use it?

No, I can.

I can use magic.

I can use... magic.

I can use... - Did his brain fry?

He's rambling like a broken record.

- All the practice we did is paying off.

Yes!

- You don't gotta lie to me, man.

Like I said, the rumors are goin' around.

It's a huge deal. - Let's go, Mash.

- Ma--ma--magic, ma, ma, ma, ma, ba, ba, a-ba-ba--

- Say, Finn, you know protecting non-magic users

makes you a criminal, too.

]

- And making a fake report will at worst get you expelled.

So, Finn. -

- Fess up. Mash can't use magic, can he?

You gonna keep lyin' for 'im?

What's even the point of protecting a magicless

blight-blood like him, huh, Finn?

Well? - Just shut it!

- Who I choose to hang out with has absolutely nothing

to do with you! -

- I totally mustered up some courage

and he's totally crammed in there.

Hey, it's...

- Sister Complex! - Lance!

- The heck was that cheap shot for?

- Well, to put it simply, you offended me.

That's all. - Hooray.

- Hi, Lance. - Nice one, Sister Complex.

- You did it 'cause you were offended?

Damn you! -

- Huh? - Whoa.

Oh, hey. Lemon and D--D--D--Dot?

It seems Dot's injuries were

more severe than we thought.

Six broken ribs, depressed skull,

compound fractures in every limb,

blood blisters, burns,

damage to multiple internal organs.

And after school...

In Adler dorm room 302...

A celebration was being held for their victory against Lang.

- Now that we've snagged Lang's coins,

we just have to wait

for the Divine Visionary selection.

- Suddenly... -

- We've almost reached our goal, minus the mountain of problems.

- I feel like we're sweeping aside

a huge problem. -

Also...

What in the world are they doing here?

And why is he holding a doll?

Does that scream party vibes to him?

Wh--What's he planning to do?

- If you want to play cards, I'm set.

- Oh, wow, he's totally set on partying!

- I don't plan on making friends with you

but given Abyss's recovering health,

and as your superior,

I shall celebrate with you this evening.

- I kinda hate the way he said that.

- You should also know if any of you dares beat Lord Abel

in a game...

I will end you.

So much for enjoying the game!

- Instead of talking about scary stuff,

would you care for a cup of tea?

- Uh-- - Th--Thank you very much.

Thank you very much, tha--thank you.

- Huh? - Do forgive him.

Abyss has little in the way of experience with girls.

He even calls them females. -

- -

Why is she here?

Say "ah!"

In appreciation of all you've done, Mash,

would you allow me the chance to serve you today?

Uh, nah, that's fine.

I can eat on my own.

- Aww, but it's such a special occasion!

You're a big meanie. Ah!

That's incredible, Mash!

- That has gotta be the wrong way to feed him.

- This kinda feels like we're newlyweds!

- Ah, Lance? - Hmm?

About before.

After you got separated

from us midway through,

what'd you find in the basement?

Right.

Once I'd fought off the guy from Lang dorm,

I faced some self-proclaimed death row inmates.

I was fighting one of them but for some reason

he pulled out before we could finish.

- That beastman has death row inmates?

How scary!

Jack.

- B.S. -

Brilliant, Lord Abel.

- They're playing B.S. by themselves!

Why are they like this?

Listen, Mash.

Hmm?

As thanks for today's invite,

I've a warning for you.

You've been made a top target.

By Innocent Zero.

The worst crime syndicate in the magic realm.

They infiltrated the academy to search for people

with high magical power. -

- It's in return for aiding them that Lord Abel gained his power.

- Forgive me for dragging you along.

It's fine.

Why do I have to be his plus one just

to retrieve a board game he forgot in his room?

- Lord Abel gained his third line artificially,

and he has Innocent Zero's power to thank for it.

- Genuine triple liners are even more fearsome.
