So much to cover, but I'll try to keep it brief and summarize it XD

1st, thank you for using some of my comments in our earlier talk as part of your Review. It made me very happy -w-

2nd, This is by far the PEAK of the highlights this Arc has attained. I mean, sure, there were some earlier moments that were good (barring the moment where Happy nerfed a Town-Busting Bomb Blast with Plot Armor -.-). Wendy having a real battle solo against a nihilistic ENEMY (her battle with Chelia doesn't count. They became friends afterwards XD) really made this cool. I hardly ever see her use combat maneuvers (kicks, punches, etc) outside of shooting a Dragon Roar or a Dragon Wing Slash. This we actually got to see her FIGHT. Despite the earlier allusion to her enemy being an octopus, I actually liked due to his ability to use his tentacles in sword-like fashion. This was only heightened up when he was LITERALLY crushing Charles skull with his teeth. I was glad to see Wendy access the Dragon Slayer Mode, as it is about time we get a developed character that isn't sexually exploited like SO MANY OTHER FAIRY TAIL HEROINES but is an actually likable character. Well done, Hiro. Well done :)

3rd, The Extra Story was neat. First delight was that it was entirely centered around Juvia, someone who doesn't always get the limelight as often as she should. My thoughts regarding her line of Gray-themed items is that its "Adorably Creepy." Moving on, I loved how impactful the day that Gray saved Juvia from her loneliness and depression has been logged since then. The fact she celebrates this so-called Anniversary by herself really makes me feel bad how lonely Juvia is. True, she may be in a state of self-induced fantasy that she really IS Gray's girlfriend/lover but the fact that Gray hasn't broken the ice (pun intended) is really leading up to a School Days' murder for when she finds out the hard way. In conclusion, I thought it was touching and even more Adorably Creepy. Though from the expression of the dim-witted Erza, she seems to be happy enough, so I guess the readers should be too? (DAMN YOU, HIRO! >.<)

All-in-all, loved both of these chapters for what they were
