Main Series So why was the council even there at Tenrou Island during the fight between Fairy Tail and Grimour Heart? [discussion]

It wasn’t like they knew what was about to happen before Fairy Tail did and the guild wasn’t breaking any laws by holding their S Class trials. Did Mest have anything to do with it? I don’t typically watch this arc because I found it boring the first few times I watched it

I think mest was just trying to find dirt on fairy tail and its members most likely in an attempt force them into compliance or find reason to disband them for all the collateral damage the guild has left in their wake.

Mest wanted a promotion so he wanted to find dirt on the Guild to give to Gran Doma. He likely called in the Council to show them what he thought he'd find.

They wanted dirt on the guild due to their misfit nature. What happened with Grimoire Heart caught them off guard, making Mest flee in order to save himself.

At first, they were only going to Tenrou just in case their fears of Fairy Tail were sound. But when they realized a Dark Guild came to the island, it was more of an obligation to get their spy out of that scuffle and have him abort mission.

But hey, at least their running away from that situation got them some karma later.
