Mash Burndead and the Survival of the Fittest Abel takes control of Mash to make him kill himself, but he just snaps the magic strings. Abel instead summons doll-Finn, reasoning Mash won’t hurt a friend, but Mash snaps his strings by throwing his gold coin at them using his curveball technique. Mash succeeds in kicking Abel in the face, but Abel manages to fully turn Mash into a doll. He tries to take his coin but finds only a cream-puff, followed by doll-Mash punching him from self-preservation instinct overriding the magic, returning him to normal. Infuriated Abel summons Harm-Puppet, his strongest doll, but again Mash smashes the doll, destroys its strings and smashes Abel’s head into the floor. Abel recalls his mother was a kind woman who tried to help the less fortunate, until a commoner killed her just for being a noble, leading to Abel’s absolute belief that the weak deserve to be used. He nonetheless admits Mash defeated him, surrenders his coins and frees every student he turned into dolls including Finn, Lemon and Dot but Lance remains missing. Elsewhere, Rayne finds Lance is actually a disguised member of Innocent Zero searching the school for something, but since Abel has failed to find it he rushes off to kill Abel, leaving Rayne to fight cannibalistic serial killer Jon Pierre.
