"Okay,yeah I am done with this discussion." Funny thing to put in front of a continuation of the discussion...

"Real life strategies"? I thought we are talking about a manga set in a fantasy world here? How does a fictional mage character deceiving a fictional magic council into firing a fictional magical weapon to revive a 400 year dead corpse constitute a "real life strategy"?

Jellal didn't know about Nirvana when he was a child. He learned of it during his time on the council, due to the access to all the libraries and records that the position granted. Brain/Zero learned of Nirvana through other channels, which provided different knowledge. Jellal knew the exact location, but not how to operate it. Brain/Zero was the exact other way round, since he didn't know the exact location, but knew how to operate it. But who knew what about Nirvana isn't really important, since neither is really a matter of intelligence, but just a matter of having access to the information sources and the time and patience required to find the desired data in them. That's why I think this particular argument isn't relevant in this context, no matter if "pro-Jellal" or "contra-Jellal".

Levy didn't "just" translate several languages in the series. If I understood her babbling during the Fighting Festival arc right, Freeds runes were a combination of two languages and encoded. So Levy managed to translate two languages and decode a cypher in less than an hour. I'd count that as very smart.
