Actually... I thought about it and Mashima is all about giving out of nowhere power ups to his central characters. They're probably going to find out that being in the CS world boosted their magic just by spending time there or something. Just a stupid theory; but mostly I thought that why the hell would Caprico think that a party is a good idea when just last chapter he was training with Lucy. Or I could be wrong. I just think that this paved the way for a "training" without actually spending more than a couple chapters showing training taking place.
