I found that this chapter wasn't too enjoyable, but still good. There we lots of things I liked about it, but just one main bit really did grind my gears. Seeing things like this made me want to smack Hiro in the face, but anyway moving on.

This fight showed a lot of promise, it lived to me expectations. Lots of action, good balance in power, not too one-sided and no Fairy Tail dominance or plot armour. The fight was really fun seeing Chelia's awesome battle capabilities and especially Wendy's Secret Dragon Slayer Art. Even when I saw Chelia get up from that attack the battle was cool, but the problem, Chelia's Magic. I was really disappointed that it was revealed that her magic was that of a God Slayer. I enjoyed that Zancrow’s God Slayer magic as it new like Natsu, but only stronger and with him gone it was easier to accept Orga as a God Slayer, even though it hasn't been stated that he is one yet, but I'm pretty sure everyone thinks he is and I like how he appears to be more about firing projectiles were as Laxus was more about melee fighting creating a contrast between the two Slayers. Heck even Zancrow and Natsu had contrast between characters. Thought their magics were just different colours, their personalities were completely different. Chelia was just felt like Wendy to me just stronger and the only difference in their personalities just being that Chelia enjoyed fighting. I liked that about Chelia, but she was just too much like Wendy in appearance, magic and personality, well apart from on the battlefield... wait I just realized something. Anyone not only has Hiro changed Chelia's appearance, but her personality too. From a little who had trouble entering the GMG to a girl beaming with confidence as so as she enters the battlefield. It looks like Hiro thinks he can just make random changes without people noticing. Overall it was a good fight I can just see Wendy doing what Natsu did when up against Zancrow, but I would be disappointed if she did and it would make more sense if Wendy lost or it was a draw. Even though the skills of the little God Slayer were cool I hoped for variety in magic as God Slayer is just another of adding in a new dragon slayer to me, but the problem of the powers of the God Slayer and the Dragon Slayer being the same, at least when a Dragon Slayer appears a new element comes with it too not just the same one in, but in black.

Even though I had a big problem with Chelia's magic, there was plenty of other small moments which where funny and enjoyable. First of all Fairy Tail has paedophiles now with Chapati going mental over the battle between the two young girls. Second, hint that Orga being a God Slayer. Despite using Black Lightning which was awesome. Number three anyone else notice Mavis's dress being blown up by the wind? I found that rather cute and very funny. Last of all Jellal. I see this going horribly wrong for his plans to find the source of Zeref's presence with Doranbolt finding out he's Jellal and not Mystogan. I still think that poor Yukino is going to captured this day and that Arcaious doing this is the cause of the presence.

To sum up a bit disappointed in Chelia with her magic and how she seemed to have randomly changed, but good chapter with a great battle and hopefully we will find out the source of the presence and a interesting conclusion to the fight. I say first draw of the games.
