Um...just a reminder here... END isn't the "Final Boss" in FT (presumably its Zeref, or Acnologia) So if they easily meet the mini boss, the Final boss is going to destroy their new found confidence. Remember when Natsu defeated Purihito only to be owned by acnologia, I have a feeling it's the same situation here....
