The twelfth episode of Mashle: Magic and Muscles season 2, called “Mash Burnedead and his Good Friends,”began with a relaxed scene of Mash and his group at the beach. However, the mood quickly shifted when Mash was reminded of his upcoming final exams. Knowing Mash’s struggles with academics, his friends offered to assist him. Sadly, Mash’s brain continued to malfunction, causing him to flee in frustration.

Despite the tension escalating, Lemon remained unwavering and stood her ground after a stone was thrown at her. As the situation intensified with more people hurling stones, Mash intervened and handled the situation in his own manner. Shortly after, headmaster Wahlberg Baigan stepped in to defend Mash and urged the crowd to wait until the Divine Visionary was chosen.
