I found this chapter terrible, it completely removed the need for an actual timeskip. I hope Mashima comes up with something useful stemming directly from the timeskip, otherwise the whole thing would be completely useless...

Not to mention how strange it is to have a part of the Guild young and the other old... To make myself clear, MAX and WARREN are now OLDER than LAXUS. I think that's enough... :S
