Interesting chapter. I was a bit shocked by the final revelation. I must say that it never even crossed my mind that Zeref was the emperor. To tell the truth I'm still a bit confused on how this happened and how long he's been like this. But the name at least make some sense now. Also if he's back the first question I asked myself was: how his encounter with Acnologia went Maybe he made Acnologia one of his Shields? I don't think the Dragon King would step so low as to become a subordinate to Zeref.

Mest is still beaten up and Wendy won't be healing him anytime soon because of motion sickness. It's a pretty incovenient thing for a support mage I must say. Saddly I must agree with you Jak, Mest is quite weak compared to the rest of he cast. But we still have to see him in action so maybe he will surprise us? Also he can make mass teleports on distance now, that's great.

And the spy is Sorano. Ok, I guess most of us have thought about this but I was expecteing the whole CS to be there, if it was the case, not just one of them. And I haven't noticed it before too but she's indeed quite hot, maybe it's because now she's on a swimsuit. But I'd rather see Cobra too.

And Makarov is really just there playing cards and talking to that old guy? It's as you said. He could've called. It looks like not even Mest, who was supposed to be aware of everything seems to have no idea of what he's up to. At least he's got an awesome beard.

My finaal question on this chapter was: when did Makarov met Zeref before? I can't remember clearily now, but I don't think he did. Anyway, I guess next chapter we'll seee some tension between Zeref and Makarov, and maybe some flashbacks too to see how he ended up being emperor.
