User blog comment:FairyRaven/Fairy Tail Chapter 313: Champion's Scenario, Review and Commentary/@comment-4597065-20130104125146

Not going to touch on the scene where the Future Lucy faints. Too boring.

The way the fight was carried out was really unexpected. I didn't know that Minerva would be pulling out such techniques (I am referring to the switching of the locations of Erza and herself.) to get an edge over her opponents.

This chapter basically confirmed (quite a bit) of speculation from readers. First up, was that Orga was a God Slayer. Next, was that Minerva would use Millania as a meat shield so she could force Erza and Kagura to fight each other. Minerva would just make sure that she will defeat the winner of the fight, that's all.

Minerva probably did not take away Kagura's weapon is because Kagura's would be powerless without it, and the same for the case of Erza. You know, make the fight fair, although you may never know when Minerva just telegrabs the weapons so they fight barehanded.
