You have no idea how little it actually is.

On a more serious note ... really nice Chapter. Mashima's style seems to have shifted from directed to magazine readers to directed at volume readers. I'm sure the previous Chapter won't look so lame in a Volume.

If Avatar actually proves to be a threat, Jerome will be Erza's enemy. Calling it. Well, I don't mind it, I found him a bit boring anyway. XD

Gray's Avatar mark is where his FT mark used to be. Pretty sure his FT mark has been removed.

Abel's resemblance to Kain ... Mary seems like a more powerful version of Meredy ... we might get Mary vs. Meredy! Meredy might finally stop being deadweight! Pigs might fly! *imports pork by air* \( ^_^)/

The Levy reveal was nice, I guess. It just seems that it was treated extremely casually by Mashima. Poor Levy. .-.

Why is Lily wasting his Magic Power by maintaining his Battle Form? I hope this means he can keep it permanently or something. Because he can assume it almost instantaneously, he'd be stupid to maintain it 'just in case they're ambushed'.

Poor D-6! XD
