Mash Burnedead/Plot

Easton Enrollment Arc
Mash finishes his daily weight training in the woods and eats a cream puff before going home. When he arrives home, he accidently breaks the door off it's hinges, saying that he couldn't remember if it was a push or a pull, so he just tried to force it. After Regro, his father, is visibly annoyed at Mash's actions, he apologies and says that he will fix it. However, his idea of fixing it is to push the door repeatedly into the frame. As the door is at the wrong angle, after being slammed into the wall numerous times, it breaks into three pieces, causing Mash to apologies again. After this, Mash asks his father why he has him work out all the time, however Regro does not answer, saying 'That's a story for another time.' He then leaves the house, reminding Mash never to go into the city. Mash says that he won't, but his promise is short-lived as he sees a flyer for Goblin Cream Puffs and heads into the city to buy some.

When he gets into the city, he sees people using magic for all sorts of things including, making food, serving drinks and cleaning people's feet. However, Mash is not impressed at all, saying 'Couldn't they just do all this stuff by hand.' He arrives at Goblin Cream Puffs and asks for seven of the special, but on his way there, he had managed to crush the coins that he had been holding. He bends them back into shape, freaking out the shopkeeper to the point of making him scream. Just as Mash is given his order, a gust of wind blows his hood down, causing people to see that he doesn't have a magic mark.

Mash starts to make his way home, eating a cream puff as he walks, but he bumps into a policeman named Terry. Terry starts to shout at Mash, as his cream puff got all over Terry's clothes, so Mash rips the clothes off of Terry, telling him that he will wash them for him. This causes Terry to shout at Mash even louder, but as this happens, Brad Coleman, another policeman, arrives and asks Terry what is happening. Brad recognizes Mash as the unmarked kid that had been reported earlier, but before he can do anything, Regro appears, grabs Mash, and runs away.

When they arrive home, Regro shouts at Mash for not listening to him and going into the city. Mash apologies and says that it won't happen again. After seeing that Mash feels bad and regrets what he did, Regro calms down and tells him to repeat his morning training routine as punishment. Before leaving, Mash gives Regro the rest of the cream puffs as a present. Shortly after Mash goes back into the woods, Brad, Terry, and an unnamed third policeman smash through the wall and ask where Mash is. Mash finishes his training after five minutes and begins to head home, singing a song about cream puffs. When he gets to the door, he tries to remember if he has to push or pull, and overhears Brad say 'You knew we'd come for the kid.' He stands by the door and hears Brad say that people who can't use magic should never have been born, and must be executed, so that there won't be more like them in the future. Regro shouts out, telling Mash to run away, however Mash doesn't listen, coming crashing through the door, knocking out the unnamed policeman. He then runs up to Terry and rips his shirt off again, causing him to stand still in confusion. He then proceeds to slap Terry in the face countless times. Regro asks why Mash didn't run away, to which he responds Because we're family. You're all I've got.' He then says that '[He] might as well send you guys to hell. A statement that Brad finds funny, as he believes it is impossible for someone without magic to defeat him. Brad casts the spell 'Nalcompas' and fires it at Mash, but he easily deflects it. This shocks Brad as he had previously used the spell to run off a dragon. He then casts a more powerful spell, but Mash easily deals with that one as well. Brad fires a barrage of spells at Mash, but he deals with them in a variety of ways, including juggling them and treating them like a football. He then picks up Regro's wand and throws it at Brad, cutting his cheek as it sticks into the wall. This act causes Brad to fall to the floor in shock. Mash then says 'Threaten my family again, and I'll kill you.' Brad begins to laugh and says 'That was good', proposing a deal to Mash. He says that as long as Mash does what he asks, he will let Mash and Regro live in peace. Brad explains that they live in a very religious country, and that once every year, a student is selected to become a Divine Visionary. He says that all Mash needs to do is enroll in a magic school and become a Divine Visionary. He tells Mash that he just wants the prestige and money that come along with the title, and that he has got no choice but to accept, as if they refuse, the police will not stop chasing them until they are caught. Mash agrees to the deal and says that he just wants to be able to live in peace with his father, and that if the world won't accept that then I've got no choice but to crush it... with my fist.

Mash attends the Easton Magic Academy entrance exam and trains while he is waiting for it to start, this catches the eye of the teacher that is in charge of the exam, Claude Lucci. Mash then starts to read a fitness book and pretends to sit on an invisible chair, causing Lucci to believe that he is not taking this seriously, and that he won't even make it past the first round. Lucci appears in front of the students, emerging from a wall of fire, in an attempt to impress the students, which works on most of them. However, Mash is not impressed at all, saying 'You must think you're hot stuff, appearing out of a firestorm and all.' This comment angers Lucci, who says that he will make sure that Mash fails. He says that it is time for the first round to begin, as he makes tables appear from out of the ground and the test papers to fly down from the sky. Mash then questions why he hadn't just set everything up before they all arrived, angering Lucci even further.

Lucci says that as there is only a pass rate of three percent, there is no way that Mash will pass. The first exam consists of a test paper with moving words. However, this does not pose a problem to Mash as he asks it to stop moving and it does. He hands the paper to Lucci, who is shocked that Mash actually managed to pass the test. After that, Mash somehow manages to find a way to complete each test without using magic, which annoys Lucci, as he believes that Mash is trying to mock him. He then makes a large maze appear and says that they must make it out of the maze to pass the test, however there will be countless traps trying to stop them. Shortly after the test begins, Mash is approached by Lemon Irvine, who asks if she can stay with him, saying that it would make sense to work together to get out of the maze. After the two start to make their way through the maze, Lemon proves to be very clumsy, constantly falling over and falling victim to traps. Mash questions how this is efficient and begins to run off, but Lemon casts 'Levios Cuffus', causing shackles to appear around Mash's hands and feet. This causes Mash to the floor and ask 'Why'd you do that?' Lemon apologies for deceiving Mash, but says that she has a very personal reason for keeping Mash from getting to the goal. Mash asks what the reason is, but Lemon refuses to tell him. Lemon says that no human can break the shackles, but Mash breaks them, saying that he also has a very personal reason for why he needs to pass. He runs off, leaving Lemon behind, who is almost immediately confronted by a large Spinx. As the Spinx goes to attack Lemon, she calls out for help, and Mash appears punching it in the face, knocking it out. Lemon asks why Mash would come back to help her, and he responds by saying that her personal reason might be like his and that he felt bad for her. She says that as he came back, neither of them will make it to the goal in time, however Mash begins to smash through the walls of the maze, making it to the the goal just in the nick of time, annoying Lucci, who believed that Mash had failed. However, he impresses Wahlberg, the Headmaster of Easton Magic Academy, who was watching the exam.

After the other students see this, they see it as cheating and start to shout at Mash, telling him to go home. Mash says that he wishes that he could. The students continue to shout at Mash, but Lemon tells them that it was not his fault, as she was told to slow him down by Lucci, who said that he would let her pass if she caused him to fail. She accepted the deal as she comes from a poor family and is desperate to get into Easton. Lucci says that it shouldn't matter that he tried to set up Mash, as it is his exam and he should be able to fail whoever he wants. He also says that Easton is a presigous school, and Mash is clearly a commoner. He says that he is failing both Lemon and Mash, unless they want to challenge his decision, drawing his wand. Mash runs up to him and snaps his wand in half, saying 'That was uncalled for professor.' This causes the students to mutter to each other, in pure shock, but they are swiftly silenced by Wahlberg, who says that they will be moving onto the final interviews and that he will be taking charge of the exam. Lucci asks why, and Wahlberg responds by saying that he wishes to see him in his office when he is finished.

Mash is picked to be the first student to take the final interview and is transported inside of a large hall. Wahlberg asks why Mash chose to enroll at the school, to which Mash says that he wants to be able to live in peace with his family. The others that are present say that this is not a sufficient answer, but Wahlberg says that it is. Wahlberg then asks why Mash stopped to save Lemon, even though he has running out of time. Mash explains that if he didn't, he would later regret it. Wahlberg finds amusement out of this answer, saying that Mash is the type that acts before thinking. He then asks Mash if he ever considered that he wouldn't be able to defeat the Spinx or break the wall, and Mash replies by saying that even if he couldn't, he still had to try. Wahlberg says that this shows that Mash does not understand how the world works, as there are many creatures that are more powerful than him. He says that he wonders what Mash would do if he were to oppose someone or something far stronger than him, asking him what he would do if he were to face him. Asks he says this, he releases his magic, causing a large black creature, covered in mouths, to appear between them. The creature is holding a lever, that is attached to a blade that is suspended above a doll. Mash asks what is going on, and Wahlberg explains that this spell transfers the target's most cherished person into the doll. He says that it is an ancient spell, and he is the only person in the entire country that is capable of casting it. He then explains that if he was to put the knife into the doll, the soul would never be able to return to it's owner. Wahlberg says that he is immensely more powerful than Mash, and begins to lower the knife, asking Mash what he will do. Mash puts his hands below the blade and resists it, saying that all he needs to do is outlast Wahlberg. After seeing this, Wahlberg says that Mash embodies the qualities that they look for at Easton Magic Academy. He proceeds to apologize to Mash, saying that he didn't intended to cause any harm, as this was indeed a test. Mash says that there is no need to apologize and answers Wahlberg's question, saying that if he needed to face off against him, 'I'd knock the stuffing out of you... with my fist.' '''Wahlberg is shocked upon hearing this, but then chuckles, saying 'I welcome you... to Easton Magic Academy.' '''

Forest Arc
Later on, Mash arrives at a forest with his class, where he meets Dot. Dot immediately says that he dislikes Mash, after he sees him talking to Lemon, saying that he hates guys who get attention from women. The teacher then reveals why they are there, saying that they will need to defeat Forest Scorpions, large scorpions that hold gems in their foreheads. These gems will then be exchanged for bronze or silver coins, depending on their size. Before entering the forest, Mash clashes with Silva, a boy who is in the year above Mash, and who Lance says is infamous for his nasty nature. Shortly after they enter the forest, Mash and Dot run into Silva. Silva challenges Dot to take five hits, and if he does and stays standing, he will give him a silver coin. He accepts the offer, and says that he will also take five hits for Mash. He takes some of the hits, but is unable to stand. This causes Mash to challenge Silva, saying that he will hit Silva ten times. However, after two hits, Mash says that he feels bad for Silva and stops. While confronting Silva, Mash knocks out a large scorpion, giving him another two silver coins, and gets an additional silver coin from Silva, giving him five in total. He puts them together and it becomes a gold coin.

Magia Lupus Arc
Later on, Mash gets lost and overhears Abel and Wirth Mádl talking to Silva. They say that they gave him a chance and that he failed them, causing Abel to turn him into a doll. After Mash misunderstands what Abel says, he says that Mash can leave if he gives him his gold coin. He refuses, causing Abel to attack him. After a brief fight, Abel takes Mash gold coin, and turns Silva back to a human. Mash takes Silva and goes to the infirmary, leaving Abel to discover that Mash had secretly switched the gold coin with a button.

As a result of Mash’s clash with Lloyd and Vice-principal Cregos, Mash was order to clean the owl sheds for a week. While there, Lance joins him, saying that Mash shouldn’t be alone in case Lang dorm attack and try to take his coin. Lance’s prediction comes true as the Sixth and Seventh Fangs of the Magia Lupus arrive in an attempt to steal the coin. Mash takes on Olore, the Sixth Fang, while Lance takes on the Seventh Fang. Both are victorious, making relatively easy work of their opponents. However, the Second Fang arrives to retrieve the two who had lost, showing Mash and Lance how powerful the upper Fangs are. Some time later, Tom is in the infirmary and says that he cannot use his magic. This causes Mash, Lance, Finn and Dot to try to find where the Magia Lupus are hiding, as they are convinced they are behind it. Lance is able to find a hidden door, after they see a puppet version of Lemon disappear around a corner. They go through the door and down some stairs, leading to an arena. The group ends up getting separated, with Mash facing the Second Fang, Lance facing the Third Fang, and Finn and Dot facing the Fourth and Fifth Fangs, after a relative struggle, they all manage to win their fights. Wahlberg sends Divine Visionary Rayne Ames, Finn’s brother, to take care of the Magia Lupus. While there, he runs into Mash and mistakes him for an enemy. After he attacks Mash, he realizes who he is, as Wahlberg had mentioned him and apologizes by giving him a Magic Kerchief, an magic item that can heal wounds. After this, Mash moves to challenge Abel. After finding him, they have a brief talk before the fight starts. Although proving to be by far his toughest opponent yet, Mash is able to defeat Abel. After learning of his defeat, Innocent Zero send Cell War to kill him, as he had broken their agreement. Abyss Razor, the Second Fang, tries to stop Cell from killing Abel, and is therefore fatally injured, seeing this Mash grows angry and attacks Cell. After a brief fight, Cell retreats saying that he and Mash will be seeing each other again very soon. During this fight, the others realize that Mash cannot use magic as he smashes a magic repelling mirror with a kick.

Execution Arc
After this, the Bureau of Magic also find out about Mash’s lack of magic and summon him to an emergency inquiry. Bless Minister, the Vice Director of the Bureau of Magic, says that Mash concealing his magic is a serious crime and requires punishment. However, Ryoh Grantz, the Magic Security Forces Captain, who is also present at the trial, gives Mash a chance to prove himself. He gives him a candle and tells him to light it without touching it, something that should only be capable with magic. Mash is successful in lighting the candle, impressing Minister and Grantz.
