Mashle: Magic and Muscles episode 8: Mash and friends get split

Mashle: Magic and Muscles episode 8, titled Mash Burnedead and the Wolves of Magic, opened with Lance informing Mash about his plan to locate Lang Dorm's location. That's when Lemon Irvine arrived with an urgent piece of news. She asked Mash and Lance to head over to the infirmary with her as something bad had happened with Tom.

Tom expressed how he got knocked out and saw a vision of him being trapped in a transparent prison. In addition, he wasn't able to temporarily use magic. While this seemed odd, Tom wasn't the only person who fell victim to such an event. Grabbing this opportunity, Lemon gifted Mash a good luck charm and asked him not to do anything risky.

Later that night, Mash and friends were roaming the school's corridors in hopes of finding Magia Lupus' base. That's when they spotted Lemon strolling down the corridors. However, she was not herself and had been turned into a puppet. Mash and his friends followed her to a secret passage which led them to Magia Lupus' secret base.

As they kept searching for Lemon, the group spotted a duelling field. There Magia Lupus' third fang had arranged for a student to eradicate any intruders. Dot Barrett took the lead as he fought the Lang Dorm student with all his might. While initially, it seemed like Dot would lose, later he switched the situation. Dot used his conditional spell Explombomb, which allowed him to set timed explosions. He used them to attack his opponent and defeat him.

While Dot Barrett did manage to defeat his opponent, he, along with his friends, were all pulled into a quicksand. Through this, Magia Lupus managed to separate Mash and his friends. Lance Crown was set to fight the third fang, Wirth Madl. Elsewhere, Dot and Finn were set to fight fourth and fifth fangs, Milo Genius and Love Cute.

At the same time, Mash was transported to the masked mage's location. He revealed himself as Magia Lupus' second fang, Abyss Razor. Abyss instantly asked Mash about his incapability to use magic. As Mash started to get agitated, Abyss revealed how he was the same as Mash as he could not use magic as well.
