re: eddiej; 'fraid not champ. Erza gave it her all, and she lost. It was only through the will of Fairy Tail that she achieved victory. A good story, to be sure, but lets not live under the illusion that she won on her own merits.

Anyway, Azuma beating Erza, but ultimately losing from nakama power isn't the point of this speech.
