That is no longer the case, even if it ever was.

By the time the lazy Magic Council get's off their sorry asses the entire country would have been burned down... okay, maybe not the country, but one or two cities sure.

Remember that the entirety of Magnolia completely disappeared off the face of Earthland for about a week and the Magic Council didn't even notice for all we were told.

Or Laxus almost destroying Magnolia! Did the magic council arrest him and charge him with sixty-thousand cases of attempted murder? Or destruction of the cathedral? Or anything?

Did they notice seven Dragons wreaking half of the capital city at any point prior to Doranbolt going back and fiddling with their memories the day after?

Now if you said that Master Makarov, other FT members or other guilds would intervene and stop the fight, that I could accept, but the Magic Council wouldn't have arrived in time even if they hadn't been wiped out.
