A new threat creeps up upon Mash and his friends...!

Summary
Around the time Mash was victorious over Abel, Regro and Brad are drinking tea together. Regro is worried about Mash and hopes that people haven't found he can't use magic. Brad is also worried, because he will be in trouble if Mash doesn't do his best to become a Divine Visionary.

Mash, Lemon, Dot and Finn are celebrating their victory, causing Abel and Love to wonder for how long they intend to do that. Mash then stops and explains he needs to go to the bathroom. Moments after Mash leaves, Cell War, theInnocent Zero's man, shows up and pushes Lemon, Finn and Dot aside. He approaches Abel and seeing his wounds, he realizes he must have fought someone and lost. He finds him pathetic, but thanks him for at least giving them info of Wahlberg Baigan. He uses his magic and makes Abel to start strangling himself, stating that he no longer needs Abel. Mash returns in that moment, bringing some creampuff for them to eat and celebrate. A fly lands on his nose and causes him to sneeze and he throws some creampuffs on Cell. Mash then asks him to return them as they plan on eating them, but Cell just throws them on the ground, shocking Mash. Cell then gets a headache, a resonance to the one they have been searching and realizes that must be Mash. Cell is surprised that this is the person they have been looking for, but first decides to kill Abel. He uses his magic and creates a large spiked ball, however Abyss gets in front of Abel and takes the hit. As the spikes pierced Abyss, he apologizes to Mash that they won't be able to eat creampuffs as promised. Mash then approaches him and gives him the magical handkerchief.

Cell is surprised that his attack wasn't fatal, but have noticed that Mash threw a rock at him, hitting Cell's shoulder right before he cast his spell, which changed his spell trajectory. Angry, Mash stomps the ground, causing some debris to fly up and then kicks a rock at Cell, however Cell catches the rock. Mash states that he will be bringing Abyss to the infirmary, and if Cell stands in his way, he will beat him up. Cell finds that interesting and floats in the air. He states that Abyss has a maximum of 30 minutes before he is beyond any help and wonders if Mash can beat him in that time. Cell then starts using Carbo Rain, creating carbon sharp spikes and attacks Mash and Abel. Mash is on the defense, only being able to break the spikes. Abel believes that Mash doesn't have chance, and calls Abyss a fool, as he shouldn't have tried to protect him. Mash however thinks that Abyss was happy to do so. Abyss was lonely and he was happy that Abel needed him. Mash has been thinking how he would feel if he was in a similar situation like Abyss, which is why he is going to save him. Abel recalls that his mother told him that they are born privileged by chance, so he needs to learn to put himself in another person's position. If he is able to do that, he will become a bit kinder to others.

Abyss remembers how he was being chased away by his family for his eye. One day, Abel told him that he will find purpose for his eye and to use it for him. Abyss was worried that people will also avoid Abel, however Abel didn't care about that, nor he cared if Abyss cover his eye or not. Barely speaking, Abyss tells Abel to run away to save himself. Abel then notes that his mother and Abyss are so noble.

Cell continues his non-stop attack over Mash. Dot sees that Mash is little by little getting closer, but it will still take him too long to reach Cell. Dot is also unable to go and help Mash, because that will leave Lemon and Finn, unprotected. Cell starts to get bored and uses Carbo Heavy Rain. Mash still holds, but gets slowed even more. Abel then uses his doll and blocks the attack. Abel states that its the strong's right to take from the weak, but its also weak's right to oppose the strong, and Abel intends to see what is righteous by himself. Cell uses again Carbo Heavy Rain and destroys Abel's doll, stating he can't win with such magic. However from one of the doll's heads, Mash comes out and punches Cell. Cell is fine after the punch, as he had a carbon epidermis layer on his skin, and notes that Mash is the first to break through it. Cell then asks Mash what magic did he use. Mash wonders what to say and then says Power. Cell is fine that Mash doesn't want to answer and brings out the Spellflection Mirror, a magical item that reflects any and every spell cast its way. Dot recognizes it, noting its one of the most feared magical items and should have been guarded by the Bureau of Magic. Dot warns Mash to not fight it, as the mirror will reflect his spells and he will die. Dot states to himself that the only way to beat it, is to not using magic, but that won't be possible. Cell then teases Mash to attack him and fall to his ruin. Without hesitating, Mash kicks and breaks the mirror. Mash friends then realize he didn't use magic and recall all previous situation with Mash, realizing that he didn't use magic back then too.

Cell notices a symbol appearing on his hand, and guesses its because he touched Mash. The space behind him then breaks and two large hands come out, grabbing him. Cell states he had fun and introduces to Mash as Cell War. He excuses himself, stating that he remembered that he needs to do some errand, but they will be seeing each other again. Mash is glad that he went home. He then states they should hurry and bring Abyss to the infirmary, however Abel tells him that Abyss condition is good thanks to the handkerchief Mash gave him. Abel explains that he will take Abyss to the infirmary and thanks Mash, promising to return the favor.

Mash friends are impressed that he didn't use magic, but worried, because if people find out, he may get expelled. Mash then starts trembling, stating he can use magic. They guess Mash must have a good reason and decide to do their best to protect his secret. Dot is also worried that if they protect Mash and people find out, they too can be expelled. One of the students that was previously captured by Abel, regains consciousness and states he had heard everything and plans on telling the teachers. Mash reacts quite calmly, that his secret is out, which surprises his friends and makes them wonder what he will do. However, Mash just eats a creampuff.

Cell returns to Innocent Zero and tells him that he had found what was lost. Innocent Zero notes that his wish will finally come true and tells Cell to retrieve it.
