isnt that the whole reason Carrot said he'd fight someone else and win first so that he wouldnt be at full strength. If we're lucky maybe makarov may still have some fight in him to idk i guess challenge August for a little while until he gets sadly curb stomped (lol ok not actually curb stomped. makarov if a wizard saint after all) but still somewhat weakening August just enough for Jellal to fight him. (plus seeing two old doods with a wide knowledge of magic battle it out before seeing jellal who also has a wide range of magic fight august would be epic).
