Summary for Mashle: Magic and Muscle

For everyone else in his magic-dominated world, the young and powerless Mash Vandead is a threat to the gene pool and needs to be purged. He secretly lives in the forest and spends every day training his body and building muscles strong enough to rival magic itself. However, when Mash sees her identity revealed and her peaceful life threatened, she begins her journey to become a "divine seer," a role so powerful that society will have no choice but to exist to accept.

To live her peaceful life, Mash enrolls without magic at the prestigious Easton Magic Academy and competes with the sons of some of the kingdom's most powerful and elite. Mash, who doesn't have the skills needed to survive in Easton, Magic, already seems to be at a disadvantage compared to her classmates. To achieve her goals, Mash only needs to fight her fists through each trial and overcome magic with her muscles, all for the august title of Divine Visionary!
