Doesn't matter,  this still proves Erza is  a clever  girl however i wouldn't  use the term genius to  describe her. genius is a term more reserved to people like Levy, Erza definitely has an above  average  IQ and is  pretty clever most of the time.

Also Galuna  Island arc  was written the time where Mashima was still  writing  very good as opposed to getting lazy as he did  within the timeskip of Fairy Tail. Still at least he tires unlike Kubo who just gets worse and now  taking a 6 week break from Bleach. Even you have to admit Kubo is being lazy at this point, especially compared to Mashima who busted his ass writing 3 chapters a week to make up for his recent screwup.

Still even with notably downgraded  writing, Erza is still awesome as  always and i'm actually  looking forward to see where  the chibi Erza subplot goes,assuming NoNick's prediction of this being a illusion isn't confirmed.
