Yep, again, I never said it was handled well and I agree that it was too sudden. I said it before, but I really feel like Mashima suddenly changed his mind, like Minerva was going to play a much larger role and have this happen at the end of the arc but then things got moved and Minerva got stuck out to the side with no purpose so her plot got sped up and pushed forward. Just a thought, but I dunno .-.
