The official synopsis for Mashle: Magic and Muscles Season 2 Episode 4 reads:
The Divine Visionary Candidate Exam has finally begun. Previously, the rule was that only those who collected five or more gold-grade coins could proceed to the second exam, but this year, the exam was accelerated due to the intervention of the innocent Fuchi Gen (Innocent Zero). For this reason, it was decided that those with three or more gold-grade coins would be eligible. Therefore, Mash, Finn, Lance, and Dot, who were able to participate in the second test, take on the dead or alive preliminaries called "The Hunting Ground of the Dead"!
