Erza was outclassed in every shape, way and form (magical, physical, etc.) by Ajeel. She may have elemental advantages, but they didn't mean dick to Ajeel. He got hacked and slashed and all it did was piss him off. He wasn't hindered in the slightest. Erza was trying with all her might when he was playing around and he was still beating her. It took something as strong as a full Jupiter blast to even render Ajeel properly hit-able, and I honestly doubt that the blast alone would have defeated him. The fight was crap because Erza wasn't hit by the blast. Erza won because of sheer dumb luck.
