The previous chapter ended with Mash’s victory against Innocent Zero, however, this came at a cost. Although Mash acknowledged the truth in his words, he was able to convince Innocent Zero to undo the damage that had been done. Using his Return Force Timez Thirds, Innocent Zero restored the lost time without disrupting the natural flow of time.

Despite being the main antagonist of the series, Innocent Zero completed such a selfless task, which led to the survival of everyone involved.

Following this incident, the story jumps ahead several months later to the Divine Visionary Induction Hall, where no one seemed to have qualified to become the visionary that year. However, due to Mash’s heroic efforts that helped save the world, he was chosen to be the visionary although he did not meet the requirements.

In conclusion, the previous chapter has given Mash the opportunity to achieve his dream and overcome all his shortcomings. As such, Mashle manga chapter 162 is likely to provide a satisfying ending for fans of the series.

However, upon having his identity exposed and his peaceful life threatened, Mash begins his journey to becoming a ‘Divine Visionary,’ a role so powerful that society would have no choice but to accept his existence.”

“And so, in order to maintain his peaceful life, the magicless Mash enrolls in the prestigious Easton Magic Academy, competing against the children of some of the most powerful and elite in the realm. Lacking the very skill needed to survive at Easton, magic, Mash appears to already be at a disadvantage to his fellow classmates. In order to achieve his goals, Mash will have to fight his way through every trial using his fists alone, overcoming magic with muscles, all for the illustrious title of Divine Visionary!”
