Plus, Markov is super strong. Laxus is a beast. I don't see how Iwan can be so weak.

Well I should have expected that. I don't know why I like different characters if they're just going to lose every time.

Just had another look. Seems Jellal is running toward the stadium, assuming it's the circular place on top of the hill with all the statues. (It is, right?) The statue on page 14 is the same kind of thing as on top of the hill on page 19

Also, maybe Ivan did go easy on Laxus? He didn't just seem angry that FT never attacked RT despite having a double-agent. His reaction looked more complicated...

I think he was a bit shaken by the news, honestly, or maybe he couldn't maintain the illusion and fight properly at the same time.

this was my guess. I'd imagine an illusion magic that would fool everyone there including multiple wizard saints and s rank mages must be pretty damn draining.

[Mreaper]

Or at least distracting. Depends on if it runs on power or concentration.

Either way; Restricting. Shame though, I would have prefered him with all his might. >: O

[Mreaper]

I would have prefered the Alexei we saw an illusion of

[Lucian Silver]

Yeah, that one seemed so bamf.

First time here just want to say Hiro had trolled Raven Tail big time. I do not care how strong Laxus is. The time-skip was built over the idea that the world became more OP than before. Raven Tail itself was believed to be this big evil strong guild that was on the same level as the Balam Alliance guilds.

He introduced to Raven Tail at about a few arcs back. Raven Tail was one of the two credible obstacles towards Fairy Tail winning the whole competition the other being Sabertooth. But Laxus beats everyone with one hitters. He beat his own father who had handed Laxus the power he has in the first place, with just one attack. Hiro...even if they are not relevant to the current arc as a main threat, you could have spent two or three chapters of a father son confrontation.
