Well, this chapter was okay I guess. They're trying not to blow their covers even more but I think those two guys already know that they're Fairy Tail, just because of their magic. Actually I like that the guy know about other magics besides his but I think that it's because he sort of needs it.

The new guy... I guess he is what Mest was supposed to be in a few years of training and taking several levels in badass. I mean, look at that OP magic. It's like Mest's, Minervas and Yuki's magic in one person. And he actually knows how to use it properlly. I don't really like that he ejected Lucy and Erza though. okay, they wouldn't be so useless but Hiro just made their infiltration conveninetly easier by sending them to an official's house. And the only one's left Natsu and Gray, making the next fights almost autoomatically boring because of protagonism. It's a given that the only way for them to defeat Marin is to blast/freeze everything around them all at once and they will most likelly realise it. Brandish on the ther hand left no impression on me yet. Right now she's just another stripefiric villainess, so I can't say anything beyond that.

On Mest. I don't really like what Hiro is doing to his character. He's an old member of Fairy Tail, hold crucial information, sticked to the main team, got an awesome magic yet it seems like Hiro finds it funny to make him look bad just to hype other chaaracters. It's okay that the new guy got the perfect counter to his magic but we don't even see him putting a fight. I wonder if Mashima actually intends on giving him a propper fght where he can show his abilities and win.

And I'm in total agreement with Carry about his loliconess. It's like Hiro found out about that fandom joke and decided to make it cannon. It's a bit forced and not even that funny because it quicky becomes somewhat creepy. But of course a grown man can't like a younger girl and develop a good relationship with her witout being romantically/sexually interested on her.

Next chpater will be longer so I can see Mashima actually finishing this battle already. And I hope it's in favor of Alvarez because it would be lame if Natsu and Gray just casually defeated one of the Spriggan 12 so early. Also if they're captured maybe their ifiltration will be easier, just less sneaky. And please Mashima, no more torture. "The ground vanished" may very well be an effect of marin's magic, and he'll just teleport everyone to outter space because, why not? And don't really expect him to show Brandish's magic right away, because she's supposed to be so above them all that it's no use to fight against someone who's losing to a subordinate.
