Okay chapter, not really bad I'd say. First of, Dimaria confirmed taken out, though I still had small hopes she would make a come back, and Hiro remembered that Mest exists though that doesn't make him relevant in any way. C'mon Hiro you can do something good with his charater...

On Jacob, even though he isn't exactly doing what I would expect an assassin to do I guess I like him a bit. I don't really see how his magic helps him in carrying his assassinations though (I actually saw it as a metaphor for Hiro saying "anyone who is affected by this magic is irrelevant and might as well disappear". If I'm right now we know what he thinks of Cana and Makarov). To think that he basically took out everyone in the guild with no effort is a good way to hype a character that will inevitably be taken out in the next couple of chapters.

What caught my attention the most is the fact that he can sense and interact with Mavis, but the real question here is: if he can sense a ghost that isn't supposed to be sensed by anyone but the FT mages, how the hell he didn't sense that Lucy wasn't affected by his magic and was coming to attack her (and Natsu after that)?

I somehow liked that Lucy came around and saved Mavis but as soon as she showed up I knew she wasn't going to fight alone so it was no surprise to me that Natsu would get involved. As I don't really like Natsu, by default my expectations for this fight are quite low but because of Jacob's title I expect him to at least live up to his name and show some true assassin skils before being taken out. The chapter name "Stealth" already hints on that. What I'm expecting is after Jacob gets taken out August shows up and just wrecks everyone, then I'll be hyped as August is the only character left tha I'm interested in this warbesides Acnologia and Zeref. Well, 'till next week then.
