Chapter 55

Margarette Macaron and the Diminutive Duet is the fifty-fifth chapter of the Mashle series and the twelfth chapter of the Divine Visionary Selection Exam Arc.

Summary
After witnessing Mash's victory over Carpaccio, the crowd are left in utter disbelief, as he managed to easily defeat a Master Cane user. Wahlberg is also shown to be impressed by this feat.

While Carpaccio lays on the floor, he struggles to breathe as he feels pain all throughout his body. He questions whether pain is always that awful and frightening and thinks back to when Finn tried to resist him, taking on a large amount of pain for Mash's sake. As he thinks of this, Mash helps Finn up, asking if he is alright. Carpaccio states that the difference in their strength is obvious and that he was utterly outmatched.

Elsewhere, Margarette Macaron is confronted by Moore Tomato and Aorio Morris. He says that he hears a  're' . He explains that both power and pitch are the same to him, and that in terms of Solfege, their strength is a Re, meaning that they are the second lowest level of power. He says that it is impossible for them to defeat him, so they should just give him their crystals. Moore and Aorio refuse, saying that it is a two-on-one and that Margarette doesn't know what he's up against. They both fire their magic at him, casting the spells  'Wulfes'  and  'Roks' , each creating a large beast. Moore says that he knows that Margarette is as powerful as the last Divine Visionary, but the two have them have gathered three gold coins each, meaning that they are top class and they can't lose a two-on-one. Margarette casts the spell  'Sounds: Re, A Drop of Golden Sun' , which easily tears through their attacks, heading towards the casters. They both put up a shield, but they are no match for the spell as it easily breaks through. They both fall to the floor, dropping their crystals in the process. Margarette picks up and breaks both Crystals, as he says that he is a  'Ti', the second highest level of power.

With Moore and Aorio's defeat, Round Two ends, sending all of the remaining students back into the arena. Upon their return, Dot asks Mash how the Round went, to which he replies saying that he wants a cream puff. Wahlberg states that Mash's biggest challenge will come next, as Maragrette appears behind him.
