Gray vs. Rufus.Rufus overpowers Gray with his ability to memorize any form of magic and use it against him. Determined to win after suffering his earlier humiliation against Rufus, Gray overcomes Rufus's magic by conjuring different ice weapons faster than Rufus can memorize, lowering his guard long enough to defeat him. Meanwhile, Natsu's team tries escaping the dungeon by causing a ruckus to attract the guards' attention. They soon exhaust their ideas and press onward, unknowingly watched by a single-eyed flower.
