Celestial Rivalry

"Newbie?! Who's she calling a newbie?" - Lucy, in reaction to being called a newbie by Sloane

A rivalry ignites between Celestial Wizards Lucy and Sloane, not long after they first meet in the Blue Pegasus guild. Sloane has a distaste in people who lack class, and she judges Lucy's skills as a Celestial Wizard and calls her a name that ignites her hatred towards Sloane: a newbie, although Lucy has been a Celestial Wizard her entire life. Eventually, she'll be interested in fighting Lucy to find out which of them is superior as a Celestial Wizard.
This scene will occur in the Oracion Seis arc, when their guilds form a coalition with the Lamia Scale and Cait Shelter guilds to stop the Oracion Seis.

I suppose this rivalry will be like that of Joey Wheeler & Seto Kaiba (Yu-Gi-Oh!). Seto is an arrogant being who criticizes Joey for his skills as a duelist and his tough talk, and Sloane would probably do the same to Lucy.
