Well, this was a neat chapter. Oh, and I feel like Ishgar is probably the name of the continent or something along the lines of that. Now, the disappointing part is that now, E.N.D will probably be the one that will be burned by the ever-so-predictable asspull known as Lumen Histoire. And I'm calling it an asspull even though we don't know what it is because... Come on, guys. It's a super-duper ultra (SECRET) weapon of Fairy Tails' that we've been told can do pretty much anything. You can sugar-coat it all you like, but that's an asspull. Also, it's Mavis in a crystal. If anyone is going to do a Nakama power-up that dwarfs all others before it, she's the one to do that.
Oh, and I didn't feel like Sting and Rogue killing their dragons in the first place was very believable. So. Not much of a shock there. And the chance that Acnologia is down for good is pretty much non-existent.
...Ok, also I feel like I have to say this: The guild's power constantly revolves around camaraderie and mutual trust, right? So why, then, is it that all of it's discord ever comes up during times when it doesn't even matter? If "the power of feelings" and "nakama" and all that crap is so freaking important, why is it that Gray and Natsu almost starting a fight (I think they probably would have if not for the distractions, too) has 0 negative consequences? Ugh.
The conflict here is caused by conflicting ideals. Gray do have a point in wanting to destroy the book (his father told him to do it and gave him the power to do so), while Natsu only want the book for his father and didn't gave a proper justification. It's obvious that Igneel know the best way to deal with the book and Gray might be wrong so all Igneel have to do is talk to him to end the conflict. Gray is smart so he won't argue with Igneel.
