Chapter 47

Mash Burnedead and the Selection Exam is the forty-seventh chapter of the Mashle series and the fourth chapter of the Divine Visionary Selection Exam Arc.

Summary
Margarette casts the spell,  'Sounds Shield', in order to block Rayne's attack. After doing this, she manages to grab her subordinates and retreat. Mash steps out of the bushes and thanks Rayne. Rayne says that there is no need to thank him, and tries to encourage Mash to do well in the upcoming selection exam.

Maragrette is shown to have taken damage from Rayne's attack, with her hand covered in blood. One of her subordinates apologies, believing that Margarette would have won had they not been there. Maragarette says that it is fine, saying that she believes in saving the best for last.

After this, Mash's friends all return home, as it is their week off from school. They each have different responses to the upcoming exam. Finn is shown to be incredibly nervous, Lance is shown to be very calm, motivated to help Anna, his younger sister, and Dot is very excited, so excited that he is unable to sleep.

Regro tells Mash that he has heard about Mash's lack of magic being discovered. He apologies, saying that it is his fault, as he did not give him a normal life. However, Mash says that he is happy as he has got a father who is always looking out for him, he was able to experience a school life for a short time, he made some friends, and was able to eat lots of cream puffs.
