OK, actually glad to see Irene not going to swap sides, as some people thought when she saw Erza. Now, is Neinhart a sword too? Or something else (be interesting if he was).

I know, I will be extremely disappointed if Elfman and Lisanna defeat Ajeel, its like Elfman vs Bacchus, who was said to face Erza many times, and yet they were always left unresolved, BUT ELFMAN WHO IS WEAKER THAN ERZA WAS ABLE TO DEFEAT HIM (ITS LIKE I ALWAYS SAID, HIRO IS TOO AFRAID TO HAVE THE FAIRY TAIL CHARACTERS LOSE!!!!!!!!!!!)

As for Invel vs Gray, its too predictable, at least I was impressed with Invel feats, of freezing Natsu fire easily, and having Gray feel the cold for the first time, and least have someone aid Gray.
