I thought they were the strongest until we figured out that Laxus and Orga were battling. And then I knew they weren't the strongest when Minerva showed up. My expectations weren't for them to be the strongest, it was for them to at least be something other than fodder. I'm sure they are all S-Class Mages in their guild and I highly doubt Rufus is stronger than them.
