Well, it's good to see Mash get out of that stuffy classroom. However, what could've been a peaceful episode for him turned tense as he's approached by Rayne.

There was definitely some ego flowing in that guy's head. Nonetheless, I think Rayne is still a dangerous opponent to face even though we didn't get a full fledged fight. Mash also sold that priceless reaction. It's good to see they're gathering all the relevant cast this episode in one place so no one is left out though. Exciting episodes ahead!

Even if the narrator hasn't narrated us about whatever happened back then at that magic tournament, there’s still plenty of reason to consider Margarette a creep af human, tbh. I mean his feminine fashion sense aside, the way he speaks alone is quite unbefitting of the way a normal human should and does act. Still him challenging Rayne with full confidence, thinking he’d throw him aside and will go deal with Mash, was a literal mistake lol.

Though that aside, their board game had me dying, I mean that was too realistic, to the point where Mash literally sprinted outside of the house, because he was depressed, or what it’d seem, but he just wanted to have his favourite cream puffs in peace lol. Anyways, Rayne with his three marks transformation was quite a sight.

Goes without saying, Margarette couldn’t hold a candle to Rayne in their fight. Dude simply obliterated him and his goons with that “true” transformation of his wand. He got his thanks from Mash, so we all good there. As for other things, the divine visionary exam is underway now. Don’t recall it being that long that it’d cover this whole season but okay we’ll see.

Rayne ended up being like the ultimate boss, lol.

Mash, along with Finn and others, returned to Regro's home just before the divine visionary selection exam. While enjoying a brief and peaceful rest, Margarette Macaron, the supervisor of the Orca Dormitory, approaches. However, before Margarette, the divine seer Rayne stands in the way. Amidst Mash and the others having a lively time playing Sugoroku, Margarette and Rayne engage in a high-level battle.

If Finn can sneak in a power-up with some hidden line action, that'd be dope. Feels like he's got some ace up his sleeve, kinda like Dot and that sick cross mark on his forehead. Badass move, gotta admit. Normally not a fan of those random cut-in explanations that feel out of place, but this one gets a pass 'cause it's just too cool. Also animation went crazy in the fight. Props to A-1. Hopefully Solo Leveling looks this good as well.

I'm betting all the Triple Liners and Divine Visionaries rollin' with blessings from some god. Wondering if it's just Greek mythology vibes like Ares or if there's gonna be more on the divine menu. Excited for this tournament arc coming up – finally gonna see what Finn's bringing to the table. After seeing his brother's skills, expecting some crazy stuff.

It's tournament arc time!

The year just started, but yep, this is OP of the year
Margarette will be best friends with Cid Shadow
Yes, this is the fight from the trailers! The animation and the sound were really good, especially at the 3-line part.
And so the exam starts! I guess it'll take up most of the season?

So even from a young age Macaron was a prodigy. Love this shows version of good old monopoly. Funny how it incorporated all the players quirks. But alas even progs can be overcome of their opponent has a trump card up their sleeves. And Rayne certainly did. Considering what the exam would entail getting the blues is normal. While the muscles gaining voices was curious what was even more so was Mash having names for them as well. Mash sure has it tough here though given that his opponents not just in front of him but around him in the form of the audience as well. Public opinion can be a real annoying sometimes. Curious to see what the exam would bring.

Rayne going out of his way to protect Mash from Margarette. The crazy sound magic user trying to fly directly to Mash house and disrupt things but luckily Rayne was there to intercept Margarette. A great duel between the two, Margarette has some very weird habits in combat like summoning that piano. Rayne gaining a third line temporarily during this fight, A gift from the gods showing their favor. Rayne is really built like that sending Margarette away after he made a ravine in the ground using his triple liner magic. Mash and his friends playing that weird version of the game of life, oddly predicting their futures maybe. Time for the divine visionary exam to commence, all the qualified applicants are gathered in this arena to begin. Mash being mocked by the crowd for not having magic wasn't very nice but Finn was there to console Mash. Let's see how this exam goes for everyone as Mash tries to prove them all wrong.

That board game they were playing earlier was epic. It was hilarious! 🤣
I would probably want a board game with their figures as pieces. 🤔
I'm also interested on that dice where Mash can get a #98 just to... 🤣


What's more epic: Rayne's encouraging lines for Mash.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

That board game hit close to home for the players and I think only Finn got a positive outcome from it lol. Also, I didn't realize that Rayne was a triple liner and its interesting how the 3rd line appears and disappears.

I'm looking forward to watching this secondary candidate exam battle play out.

Is it just me, or does the animation seem much better this season? I was already digging the show and it is not like you need mind blowing animation for what is primarily a comedy, but I have been more impressed with how many of the sequences were animated so far. Really does add to the experience.

The board game was hilarious. Skip 320 turns for stalking? Tough, but fair.

Rayne's battle against Margarette only demonstrated that Rayne is on another level, and now we know that he has three lines. Although Margarette could still be an obstacle for Mash.

The board game played by Mash and the others was very entertaining. Additionally, the game has the ability to predict the future, and their reactions caused a lot of laughter.

The examination to become a Divine Visionary has been advanced due to Innocent Zero, and students with three or more gold coins can now participate. Now, we need to see how Mash and his companions face the other wizards.

Seeing Mash and his friends play a game that predicts their future was both hilarious and sad for Mash. Rayne has a hidden third line that puts him on another level against Margarette. I thought Mash was going to step into their fight, but Rayne handled Margarette very quickly. Unfortunately, Margarette survived Rayne's strongest attack and he also participating in the Divine Visionary exam along with Mash. Will Maragarette will be the last one standing again like in his middle school days.

I fully expected the exam to be a battle royale. I dont know what to make of this, I feel a little disappointed we wont see Mash fight the creepy dude.

So if triple lines are actually that special, doesnt that make Abel a bit of a pushover in hindsight?

Mashle has always been such a great show and this season it continues to be great 👍 not sure if at the end it was a parody of Yowamushi pedal when he was talking to and naming his muscles just like Izumida did, but the tournament is about to begin and I’m excited for it 😊

Those students from the Orca dorm looked intimidating... both Margarette and the guy with red hair... pretty sure that in addition to winning this test, they were also eyeing Mash...

Uh Rayne is cool as always but I was hoping to see him in action... not just hear the explanation or see Margarette's shocked expression :'D

But what amused me the most and made me smile was when that Orter tried to put Mash down/make him discouraged, Mash casually replied with his muscles! Lol xD I really love him.

Mash sucks at rolling dice, and the little figurine's head getting chopped off / exploding was just hilarious. Plus Lemon's future as a stalker got picked up. What a game.

This being said the triple liner Sword Cane Visionary is no joke! Whoo boy, I cannot wait for next week's episode. Maybe I should wait a few weeks so I can binge several episodes.

So that's the power of a three-liner, they can basically reshape a wand and gain a tremendous amount of power. Margaret basically stood no chance and good thing Mash was there to see that after running away from that weird board game. Now a colloseum like exam is up and Mash will have to trust his muscles to win it. What I'm more curious about is what will FInn do since I haven't seen him use any magic yet.

The board game had me laughing hard. It certainly hit home on Dot, Lemon, Lance and poor Mash, with only Finn being the only one to do actually well. XD

For me, the fight between Margarette and Rayne was the highlight of this episode. The way Margerette fights was pretty unique, but Rayne proved that he was on another level, as he's a three-liner magic user. It was only for a short moment, but his attack that had Margerette retreat was not only impressive on a scale of strength, but the production quality really went for it in the closing stages of this battle. It looked amazing, that's for sure.

Despite that, it won't stop Margerette being a threat to Mash as the divine visionary exams have begun. As expected, the crowd is against Mash, but he's determined to prove his worth. I wasn't expecting him to give names to his individual muscles, though!

I do look forward to seeing how Mash and his friends get on in the exams. I have hope that Mash will pass, but it would be nice if at least one of his friends, most likely Lance if I had to guess, also succeeds as well.

Finally, Three-liners magic user has been introduced who is Rayne Ames. I am very excited to see more from Three Liners since they can summon Big Monster with the power of their wands & hoping that it will be as good as the manga. Honestly, I really feel that Mashle will be better than Solo Leveling for this season, so far.
