It came out in 2006 and contains quite a few throwbacks to Rave.
Let's enjoy some friendship, magic, guilds, fanservice and nonsense, shall we?
Last volume we completed the fourth day of the Grand Magic Games. The twin dragons got wrecked.
My bet is Mashima had no idea what to do with Gemma (or Ziemma how he's named in those scans). But yea, another very out of the ass development. We've had quite a couple of those in last few chapters, haven't we?

Translation error. Swapped fire and lightning in the sentence.
It probably should be noted that these volumes in the early to mid 30s came out in a rush as Kodansha USA moved to get caught up to the Japanese release. Which also means fewer rounds of proofreading and error checking, and thus an increase in errors that weren't caught. This is likely one of them.
