I don't why you guys think that just because they are s class they are the same level. Erza has never been on the same level as laxus and thats not me hating thats just facts and is obvious but people like to downplay laxus for some reason despite the proof and facts stated in the manga like hades saying laxus was close to gildarts level and him beating jura who was the fifth strongest saint and two shotting tempesta when natsu had a hard time against him. The only reason erza is portrayed as this super strong unstoppable character is because of hiros favoritism of her. And to the second dude nah i'm not mad just felt like putting this out there. And from the beginning of the series the wizard saint title has never really meant much and has only been a title seeing how there are characters who are much stronger than some of these wizard saints but aren't saints themselves like gildarts,laxus,natsu,and other characters. Rankings in this series has never really meant anything seeing how characters can come out on top and beat enemies that are levels above them. The spriggan 12 have been hyped up to be as strong or even stronger than the strongest wizard in Ishgar and yet you you're fine with erza soloing him. The only characters I will accept beating these guys 1 on 1 is gildarts, laxus, maybe jellal if he did any serious training and maybe Natsu in dragon force and perhaps gajeel in dragon force as well but that depends on how strong he has gotten and I will only accept these guys winning if they come out of the fight severely hurt and barely winning this match with great difficulty. But knowing hiro he probably will end up dehyping these guys and having them all get beaten one on one against characters they have no business losing against. And it's not the fact that erza is strong and has always been strong its the fact that she has never lost a single battle even against opponents she had no business defeating and the fact that she is up against an opponent who is on a whole other level than her and all of her previous opponents.
