You do realize that brains doesn't always beat brawls overall, right? Otherwise Shikamaru would be a God in Naruto. Obviously Laxus outclasses Minerva in terms of Magic Power, Strength, Durability and Stamina based on what we've seen so far, so I don't understand how people can actually say she is better. Regarding intelligence, what has Minerva done that represents her as an intelligent person? Take Hostages. One thing is intelligence in terms of battle strategies, tactics and overall knowledge and another one is being manipulative, cunning and in a way cowardly when participating in some magic games. spectacle
