Chapter 44

Mash Burnedead and the Home Visit is the forty-fourth chapter of the Mashle series, and the first chapter of the Divine Visionary Selection Exam Arc.

Summary
The chapter opens with a page explaining Easton Magic Academy's 'Prefect' system, where each dorm has got a representative that is strong enough to become a Divine Visionary.

Mash counts out how many Gold Coins he has in his possesion with Lance. He finds that he has got seven, which Lance says will be enough to enter the Divine Visionary Selection Exam. Mash says that he wants to go home and visit his father, and thinks back to the time that he told Rayne Ames about this, and Rayne telling him not to. Despite remembering this, he still decides to go home nonetheless.

Elsewhere in Easton, Orter Mádl meets with the Orca prefect, Margarette Macaron, and tells him to ensure that Mash cannot participate in the Extrance Exam. After a bit of convincing from Orter, Margarette accepts the request.

After returning home for the first time since enrolling at Easton, Mash is embraced by Regro as he begins to cry. Shortly after Mash enters the house, his friends Finn, Lance, Lemon and Dot  enter the house, making Regro cry again, as he has never had friends before, due to not being able to go outside. After each of them introduces themselves, Regro states that they are all strange, to which Finn agrees.

Somewhere in the forest, Margarette rides through the trees on his broom with two of his henchmen, on their way to attack Mash. However, they are intercepted by Rayne as he confronts them, pulling out his wand.
