Pretty good chapter, it went by fast for me.
Gray doesn't seem like that much of an a-hole, at least compared to Sasuke, he is holding back from hurting his old Fairy Tail comrades. If Natsu just agreed to leave him alone, he wouldn't hurt them, Sasuke on the other hand he wanted to kill Naruto and the whole leaf village, he was just an a-hole.
Lucy slapping Gray that was awesome, that is something Sakura would never do to Sasuke. Way to go Lucy.
This Mary chick seems to be a force to be wreakon with, I am interesting how Lucy is going to defeat her.
The only problem I had was those footers getting back up, after their performance last chapter, they have no right to get up, they should have stayed down, they had their chance. That only means this arc is going to be longer, ugh.
So Levy is part of the council, yeah. I am so happy she and Gajeel are still together, she was disguised for some Avatar foot soldier, I didn't know Avatar had foot soldiers. I wanted to see her acting skills.
So next week we got two chapters, well I guess that is to make up for Golden Week break that is coming up.
