Lacking the skill needed to survive in Easton, magic, Mash appears to already be at a disadvantage compared to his classmates. To achieve his goals, Mash will have to fight his way through each trial using only his fists, overcoming magic with his muscles, all for the illustrious title of Divine Visionary!
