As the professor looked out of the window, he saw Mash pumping iron, sitting on an invisible chair, and reading health books. All this created a bad impression of Mash in his head.

In the episode, Claude Lucci was hoping that Mash would fail his entrance exam, but he managed to pass each level by some or other means. This led to him summoning a labyrinth, out of which, each of the candidates was to try and reach the goal in time. Here, Mash happened to meet Lemon Irvine, who tried to trick him from progressing in the exam.
When Mash realized this, he ran away. However, when Lemon was attacked by a monster, Mash ran back to her location and rescued her. With little time left for the exam to end, Mash broke through the walls of the labyrinth to reach the goal. However, the other candidates weren't pleased with Mash's methods and started protesting.
That's when Lemon decided to reveal the truth as to how Claude Lucci had asked her to stop Mash from passing the exam. In exchange for this, he would admit her to the academy. After the truth was revealed, Claude decided to fail both Mash and Lemon, but, Mash broke his wand. That's when Headmaster Wahlberg appeared and took over the exams.
He began the final interview session of the entrance exam and took Mash with him as the first candidate. Wahlberg began the interview with some questions surrounding Mash's decision to save Lemon, soon after which he tried to test Mash using his spell. However, even without possessing no magic, Mash was able to pass the test and managed to get admitted into the academy.
