Lucy isn't gathering too many personal good memories from this tournament. Either she's getting tricked out of victories or simply overpowered and played with.
Sabertooth is certainly doing its best to anger Fairy Tail.
Minerva can pick on Lucy now, but she's she's probably going to have to fight Erza in one of the fight phases, so she'll get hers.
I take solace in the fact that the narrations says "4 days till the horrible day" which means at least the tournament will get to finish.
That means Lucy will have to get avenged by someone else though, and that's never very good for your self esteem. During her fight I was hoping that she could start summoning spirits without her keys, since that would be pretty badass.
4 days till the horrible day doesn't necessarily mean there will be 4 peaceful days until the horrible day(s?) start, so I'm not so hopeful that the tournament will finish as per schedule just yet.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I thought that leo would summon him self as usually /shrug
I forget, did they say the tournament was 5 days or 7?
Also, Yukino found a new job pretty quick.
5 days. I'm pretty sure someone approached Yukino in order to have her around as a backup Celestial wizard.

You keep Yukino as the backup because she's employed by you and isn't readily going to run away.
Lucy isn't readily about to serve the "game masters", so assuming they want both a backup and a sample, then it makes sense to use Lucy right away while Yukino is stashed aside for later in order to lower your risk of losing these precious celestial wizards.
Plus, she's the main character.
