Unfortunately because we don't have anything on Zeref's motives, The Dragon Festival could any kind of farfetched scenario. So I'm not going to hypothesize until I have some plausible information to work with. Like everyone else, I'm befuddled has to why Mira and Juvia aren't apart of that team. I mean, Gajeel wasn't even qualified for the class S class trial on Tenrou, Juiva was, and Mira is a bloody S class and neither of the latter are competing...Troll much Mashima?
