YEAH, MAZES ARE FOR GETTING LOST IN UNTIL YOU FIND THE EXIT!

I CAN'T DENY THAT.

IT'S NOT A MAZE IF YOU CAN PUNCH YOUR WAY THROUGH IT!

GOOD POINT.

THAT'S JUST PEDAN- TIC.

GO HOME!

PLEASE STOP THIS!

SAY ANOTHER WORD AND YOU'LL COME TO REGRET IT!

DON'T YOU DARE!

I CAN STILL RECON- SIDER OUR DEAL.

THE TRUTH IS...

S T O P !

I WAS TOLD TO PREVENT HIM FROM REACHING THE GOAL...

...BY PROFES- SOR LUCCI.

MY FAMILY'S POOR. I WAS DESPERATE TO GET INTO THIS SCHOOL FOR THEM...

HE SAID HE'D LET ME PASS IF I SLOWED THAT BOY DOWN...

BUT NOT ONLY DID THAT BOY SAVE ME, HE TOLD ME...

YOU DID...

I NEVER SAID THAT.

...HE'D MARRY ME!

"IF YOU'RE TOO INJURED TO WALK, I CAN SUPPORT YOU."

WAIT... "SUPPORT ME"? YOU MEAN LIKE...

I DON'T THINK YOU'D BE A (PHYSICAL) BURDEN.

BUT I'M SURE I'D ONLY BE A (EMOTIONAL) BURDEN TO YOU...

H M P H !

DON'T BE BASH- FUL. I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL.

IS IT? BECAUSE I DIDN'T SAY THAT.

AND IT'S SUCH A RELIEF... OH, YES!

THIS IS MY EXAM.

SO I SET HIM UP... WHAT ABOUT IT?

WHO SAYS I CAN'T FAIL STUDENTS I DON'T LIKE?

YOU TWO POSITIVELY REEK OF COMMONER. YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE HERE.

THIS IS A PRESTIGIOUS ACADEMY FOR THE ELITE.

WE DON'T TAKE IN CHEEKY BRATS...

THE MOMENT I SAW YOUR DINGY ROBES, GIRL, I KNEW YOU WERE A CHARITY CASE.

I FIGURED EVEN THE POOR MUST HAVE THEIR USES, BUT LOOK AT HOW YOU REPAY ME.

...OR PAU- PERS.

DID YOU INHERIT THAT DULL MIND OF YOURS FROM YOUR PARENTS?

I TRUST THAT I MADE THE RIGHT CALL ABOUT YOU TWO.

IF SO, NO WONDER YOUR FAMILY IS STRUG- GLING.

WHICH IS WHY I'M FAILING YOU BOTH.

...OF THE MAGUS CUM LAUDE PROFESSOR OF EASTON MAGIC ACADEMY!

UNLESS YOU WISH TO CHALLENGE THE DECISION...

THAT IS...

...IF YOU DARE.

LUCCI...

I WISH TO SEE YOU IN MY OFFICE AFTER THIS.

NOW, FOR THE FIRST INTERVIEW.

WE WILL BEGIN THE FINAL INTER- VIEW...

...FOR MASH VANDEAD.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

FIRST, I WISH TO ASK WHY YOU CHOSE OUR SCHOOL.

SO I CAN...

...LIVE IN PEACE WITH MY FAMILY.

THAT IS SUFFI- CIENT. NEXT QUES- TION...

THAT'S NOT AN ANSWER!

ASK HIM TO EX- PLAIN!

I HEAR YOU STOPPED TO SAVE A GIRL EVEN THOUGH YOU WERE RUNNING OUT OF TIME IN THE MAZE.

I GUESS SO.

IS THAT TRUE?

YOU WERE AT RISK OF FAILING YOUR EXAM. WHAT MADE YOU DO IT?

WHY?

IF I DIDN'T...

...I THINK I WOULD HAVE REGRETTED IT.

HO HO HO HO. YOU'RE THE TYPE WHO ACTS BEFORE THINKING, I SEE. DID YOU CONSIDER THAT YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO DEFEAT THE SPHINX OR BREAK THE WALLS?

EVEN IF I COULDN'T ...

...I STILL HAD TO TRY.

HO HO HO HO!

A VERY AMUSING ANSWER!

BUT IT SHOWS ...

...YOU DO NOT YET UNDERSTAND THE WAYS OF THIS WORLD.

THERE ARE MANY CREATURES IN EXISTENCE MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU.

...I WON- DER...

WHEN YOU FIND YOURSELF FACING THEM, HOPELESSLY OUT- MATCHED...

...WILL YOU TAKE THOSE SAME ACTIONS?

WHAT IF YOU WERE TO FACE...

...SOME- ONE LIKE MYSELF?

WHAT IMMENSE MAGICAL POWER!!

THE PRESSURE IS SUFFOCAT- ING!

AND THIS SPELL!

WHAT'S THIS?

THIS SPELL TRANSFERS THE SOUL OF THE TARGET'S MOST CHERISHED PERSON INTO THIS DOLL.

IT'S AN ANCIENT SPELL, AND IN THIS WHOLE COUNTRY, ONLY I AM ABLE TO CAST IT...

WHOA! GRAMPS! HEY?! NO WAY! HOLD ON! WHAT'S UP?

HUH?

THAT IS NOT ALL IT DOES. WERE I TO PLANT THIS KNIFE IN THE DOLL...

G R A M P S ?

G R A A A A A A M P S !

...THAT SOUL WOULD NEVER RE- TURN.

HO HO HO HO. DID I NOT MENTION ALREADY?

I AM IMMENSELY MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU.

I WILL SLOWLY STAB THAT DOLL WITH THE KNIFE.

AND IN YOUR CURRENT STATE, YOU CANNOT STOP ME. WHAT WILL YOU DO WHEN FACED WITH THIS...

DRIP DRIP

I'M SURE YOU CAN'T KEEP THIS HUGE THING GOING FOREVER.

ALL I NEED TO DO IS OUT- LAST YOU.

...CAN BE USED TO HARM OR TO HELP.

POWER...

IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE WIELDER.

ONE OF THE PRINCIPLES OF OUR ACADEMY IS TO FOSTER THE TALENTS OF FIRST- RATE MAGES.

WHICH IS WHY I LIKE TO PUT EMPHASIS ON A CERTAIN PRIN- CIPLE.

PROTECT THE WEAK, AND REGULATE THE STRONG.

BY DOING SO, WE GRANT GREAT POWER UNTO THEM.

AND...

FROM WHAT I'VE OB- SERVED...

NO- BLESSE OBLIGE.

YOU EMBODY THOSE QUAL- ITIES.

MY APOL- OGIES. THIS WAS INDEED A TEST....

I HAD NO INTEN- TION OF CAUSING YOU HARM.

...ABOUT WHAT I'D DO IF I HAD TO FACE YOU. MY ANSWER, HEAD- MASTER, IS...

YOU DON'T NEED TO APOLO- GIZE.

REGARD- ING YOUR QUES- TION...

YES? WHAT IS IT?

OH...

I'D KNOCK THE STUF- FING OUT OF YOU...

...WITH MY FIST.

WHAT INSO- LENCE!

ARE YOU MAD?!

LET HIM BE.

...TO EASTON MAGIC ACADEMY.

I WEL- COME YOU...

Chapter Summary

Dive into Mashle_ Magic and Muscles Chapter 3, and you'll find readers absolutely buzzing with laughter and delight! The standout star of this chapter's comment section? The principal, who has everyone convinced he's a Dumbledore look-alike! Comments like "It really was Dumbledore huh" and "He's giving Dumbledore's vibess" flooded the section, proving Mashle's principal has a certain charm. 😂

The chapter also introduced a new character, Lemon, and her immediate, shall we say, *attachment* to Mash. This led to a hilarious split among readers, with many calling her "delusional lol" and questioning if she's the main girl given her instant possessiveness! Still, it seems her antics added to the fun. ❤️ The old man examiner, despite a less-than-stellar first impression, seems to be growing on people, with one reader hoping their relationship will improve.

Beyond the character interactions, the chapter delivered on the humor, with many admitting it "made me laughed way too hard in public." Readers also complimented the "astounding" art and noted the series' unique blend, feeling like a "Harry Potter and black clover mix." And for those wondering, the "cum guy" comparisons didn't go unnoticed either! Mashle_ Magic and Muscles Chapter 3 certainly left an impression!

Chapter Analysis Mashle: Magic and Muscles — Chapter 3
Mashle: Magic and Muscles Chapter 3 picks up right after Mash marches straight through the maze walls, sparking outrage from the other examinees who shout cheater and demand he go home. One girl breaks from the crowd to defend him, insisting he is not at fault, and when threatened for speaking up she confesses the truth. She explains that Professor Lucci ordered her to prevent Mash from reaching the goal, promising her a pass that her poor family desperately needed. She also reveals Mash saved her when she was injured and offered to support her, which she comically misinterprets as a marriage proposal despite his denial. The confrontation escalates when Professor Lucci openly admits to the setup in Mashle: Magic and Muscles Chapter 3, declaring he can fail students he dislikes and dismissing Mash and the girl as commoners and charity cases unworthy of the elite academy. He mocks her robes, background and struggling family, then fails them both unless they dare challenge a Magus Cum Laude professor. Mash responds not with argument but action, snapping Lucci's wand and stunning the onlookers. Headmaster Wahlberg arrives at that moment, silences Lucci, takes charge of the examination, summons Lucci to his office later, and begins the final interview with Mash himself. That interview becomes a test of character as Wahlberg asks why Mash risked failure to save the girl, and Mash answers he would have regretted not trying. Wahlberg then demonstrates overwhelming magical pressure with a soul-transfer spell that pulls Mash's beloved gramps into a doll, threatening to trap him forever while slowly advancing a knife to force Mash to consider what he will do when hopelessly outmatched. When Mash panics, Wahlberg reveals it was a test about how power can harm or help, praising Mash's instinct to protect the weak as true noblesse oblige. Mash's blunt answer that he would knock the stuffing out of Wahlberg himself draws outrage but makes the headmaster laugh, and Mashle: Magic and Muscles Chapter 3 ends with Wahlberg welcoming Mash to Easton Magic Academy.
