I liked the chapter a lot, Laxus's entrance was pretty well done would've been a bit better if Hiro created some more tension (extended fight with makarov) before his appearance. Sand dude got me also impressed I'm happy he isn't KO yet.

Anyways the thing I hated the most about the chapter isn't that makarov is overprotective... it's that he only uses his titan magic. :| Remember his magic fight with Jose and with Hades, Makarov is supposed to be a really strong (ex) Wizard Saint who's capable of using various powerfull offensive and defensive magic spells. Yet he's only senile about the fact that he has these spells instead of only his Titan techniques. I know Hiro's probably not thinking and/or lazy about it but it really bugs me nonetheless. :/

In the end I really really REALLY hope that August will live up to spell capabilities and quality that we witnessed like in the fights I mentioned earlier.
