Mashle: Magic and Muscles - The Divine Visionary Candidate Exam Arc

After Mash Burnedead’s fight with Magia Lupus, the truth about his abilities can no longer be kept quiet. Any brief relief is cut short when the Bureau of Magic hauls him before the Divine Visionaries, who judge his existence as unacceptable and sentence him to die—until the proceedings are interrupted by the shadowy group Innocent Zero, which insists Mash must be kept alive.

Even after Mash demonstrates he can stand against Innocent Zero, the verdict doesn’t immediately change. With unexpected support from Divine Visionary Rayne Ames and Headmaster Wahlberg Baigan, his execution is postponed until Innocent Zero is dealt with. Mash is granted a narrow chance to keep living, but only if he earns selection as a Divine Visionary candidate by the end of the year.
