It was just a rushed chapter so he can get on to more interesting things guys. With that being said, he could have just not made the chapter all together but the reality is the purpose of him doing this was to reveal Minervas back story, or rather reveal that shes actually a big softy who acts tough because her father was a giant tool. Mash chose Erza to be the one to elucidate this because it just makes the most logical sense. Who else other than erza would have spoken to her like that? No one. Also their relationship, Minerva chose Erza as a rival... she has had multiple opportunities to kill erza but hasnt done it because she enjoyed fighting her more than ending her life. Its when she saw erza could still kick her ass using only bare hands thar she finally broke mentally and emotionally. You guys gotta remember the first time they went 1on1 was after erza had already gotten fucked up by kagura (much worse than she did by kyoukas torture) and she had a smashed leg. This is too long again but yeah just try to think about why mash chose to handle it this way first before condemning it possibly? After all, we cant change it right? Discussions are finebthough I enjoy the different opinions. Nick, what's your take on 1 Wendy's development and 2 this next fight?
