Reli, you're completely underestimating Raven Tail or you are completely overestimating the extent of Mashima's plot armor. Iwan is likely Gildarts level or higher. He's the leader of the only Dark Guild that reigns outside of the Baram Alliance and I doubt he'd be on a level where Laxus beating him was even plausible. Furthermore, Raven Tail has 5 members, all of which are the elite of the guild, fighting him simultaneously. Mashima will somehow make Laxus shine but it won't be through defeating Raven Tail, it's just not plausible. The Raijunshuu and Lisanna idea is possible, but I still don't see Mashima letting Iwan lose here. He seems to have a much bigger role to play
