In response to the Grand Master's statement, she kind of has to reach for her keys or her whip because that's what she uses to fight. I mean, think about it. If Erza couldn't requip into anything, it'd be pretty tough fo her to fight, too.

And I think her win against Angel should still count, even if Hibiki helped. In this chapter, one of the dragons threw Lucy away from the control panel, and Wendy broke her fall so that she could try again. And regardless of the fact that she received help, Lucy's still super awesome.
