So in summary, it's largely in Kodansha's interest to keep the anime going for a while, so I wouldn't spend too much time worrying at this juncture if I were you. Quote:

hoping for this upcoming arc they throw in some filler such as the fight's we didn't get to see during the test
other than that i can't really think of anything else they can do filler wise in the canon of this arc i hope this new arc has a clean enough cut off from that last one that if need be they can throw in a filler arc between and not be so weird. at moment it seems like they could. Spoiler:

It seems like every major Shounen series needs to have an exam arc to pass nowadays. Anyway, looking forward to this.
I am surprised that Levy is participating for S class. She does not look like the type who can handle S class missions, as far as we've seen about her. Besides, with Gajeel there, it would look more like he is trying to pass the exam instead of her. Also, they have introduced this Mest Gryder character out of the blue. I cannot ever remember any mention of him until now, and he is supposed to be strong enough to compete for S-class? Also, he is Mystogan's apprentice, apparently. It really does feel like this character just come out from left field all of a sudden. The cats look like they will be left behind, except for Happy. However, I can't imagine that they will be gone for too long. Gajeel needs to show off Lily more, so I expect he will make an entrance again at some point. Also, Charles will not leave Wendy knowing that she will be in danger. Yes, I am looking forward to seeing what will happen next.

Well, the new episode is out.
Spoiler for Episode 98:
If I'm not mistaken, the next episode will mark the end of the eighth OP and ED, which I think should technically mark the end of the season/year for Fairy Tail. Which means we're heading into season 3, folks!

@Clarste: With Gildartz, I can accept, since I think they did mention his name at some point before, and he was on a 100 year mission. Fried, I can also accept, since they were stated to have traveled a lot with Laxus on missions. He was already introduced a while back when a lot of events happened.
However, thoughout all the events that occurred, Mest did not bother to help out or participate in anything, and now he has the right to compete for S-class? It is just so jarring, but I guess I will have to accept it. They needed someone to replace Mystogan, so I guess his apprentice will have to do.

Everything depends on how author will handle Mest, maybe there is an explenation to his absence too.
I'm suprised that Levy is practicipating, she doesn't seem to have any strong magic =/ And I was always sure that Gajeel, Fried and Juvia were already S-ranks, especially Gajeel and Juvia since they were the strongest members in their ex-guild =/

Great episode. For the reason alone that there was plenty of Lucy and Kana foot service. Start of the episode and the end, oh wow, the staff know how to overload the goodness.
Upcoming arc is my favourite in the manga, and i know that the anime will certainly deliver in all aspects. It's going to be an explosive couple of months. Now we just have to see how much spoiler content the new OP will feature. Hardly. Anyone who's watched the anime or read the manga to this point knows that Lucy is far from useless.

If anything, I believe this arc will focus on how Kana becomes the next S-rank, since it seems very important that she does so.

Interesting to see Lily able to stay in his original body for a brief period. Think the Elfman and Evergreen team is the weirdest one. This Mest guy is intriguing. Lol Loke is working with Gray. What tease with Cana's story, hope we find out the real reason that made Lucy want to help her. Going through Erza, Mira, and Gildartz is cray tough. Nice to see Charla use her power now. So that guy who was after Natsu is going to cause some problems. Gajeel and Levy pair was nice to see.

I'm pretty sure Gajeel was S-rank back in Phantom Lord, but Fairy Tail has its own standards. Remember, this isn't like an official designation by the government or anything, it's just up to each individual guild who they let take S-rank jobs alone. Natsu managed to steal an S-rank flyer and it's not like the other party refused him or anything. I'd imagine that Fairy Tail has higher standards because they care more.

Hmmm... I had to research and go back to episode 21 where they first mentioned Gajeel and the Element 4. It was mentioned that the Element 4 (Juvia) were S-class in that guild. They did mention that Gajeel is a huge concern, although no mention that he was S-class.
I guess it would be possible, but not as far as I can tell from information from the anime. Either way, as Clarste mentioned, Fairy Tale might have a different standard from Phantom.
