Okay time to address some issues -_-

1. Tempesta wasn't anticipating Laxus to be so strong and so underestimated him. Plus his mission was to kill Yajima, not anything else and he wanted to finish his mission as soon as possible, and what better way than to kill everyone present at the same time? We don't know for sure how strong Tempester is if he is on full-guard and serious. Saying his rematch will go the same way is speculation.

2. Minera never "blocked" the Lightning Flame Dragon's Hammer(which has more power than Kagura and Erza's slashes), she used her War God magic(space) to redirect it. Erza and Laxus would have survived a direct hit from it without even needing to block.

3. Minerva was outclassed. She was clearly worried she was going to lose and that is why she waited for them to weaken before destroying them(stabbing one in the back too). And also why she started bawling like a Baby the moment she lost. If they continued fighting head-to-head Minerva would have been trashed. I feel you are fanboying here.
