She couldn't beat him at the moment. But she will soon enough. Erza has the most potential of the S-Class Mages. Firstly, unlike Laxus, she wasn't so frail that she needed Lacrima to be able to learn to fight. Secondly, she is the youngest Fairy Tail Mage to become S-Class. She was two years younger than Laxus when she became one. Thirdly, being a main character in the series puts her in an advantage for a lot of things, gaining strength is one of them. Laxus has a large amount of Magic Power? Who cares, in case you haven't noticed, so does Erza. He uses the fastest Elemental Magic? Once again, who cares, her Flight Armor could handle that speed easily. He has the melee prowess to fight armed foes unarmed? In case you haven't noticed, Erza's quite skilled with Melee combat herself. He has the ability to perfectly cast Fairy Law? And tell me, how much effect would that have on Erza?
