Lol, I read the chapter. I'm well aware of what he did, but again, countering someone's attack doesn't = overpowering them. Especially since Ajeel wasn't taking his battle with Fairy Tail even remotely serious. And come on Lidor, you're smarter than that. You know exactly what Ajeel was implying with that statement.

FT haven't 1 vs 1 all of their opponents. And given how strong the Alvarez Empire is being hyped up to be, 1 vs 1 shouldn't really work. However, I have been a fan of this series for years and I know just how different the hype of a villain's abilities and the actual capabilities of a villain are. With that being said, I just hope Mashima take the usual route with these battles.
