==Battle==
:The details of the first part of the battle are unknown.
Elfman is having trouble in his battle with Bacchus as he is unable to land a single hit on Team Quatro Cerberus' S-class Mage. Still, Elfman charges at him with his Beast Soul: Weretiger, a speed type of Take Over. However, Bacchus is able to dodge all of his attacks and then proceeds to counter with a Magic that focuses his energy on his palms which, combined with his martial arts, makes him a powerful opponent.
Erza also notes that Bacchus isn't being serious as he hasn't drunk anything yet. Bacchus attacks Elfman once more and Elfman reverts to his original form. However, Elfman doesn't give up and tells Bacchus that, if he wins, Quatro Cerberus will change their name to Quatro Puppy for the rest of the tournament. Bacchus agrees and drinks his alcohol from his gourd, saying that he will finish the fight now.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 278, Pages 9-16 
Once finished drinking, Bacchus crouches into a stance while Elfman proceeds to use his Magic. Bacchus then attacks with incredible speed, landing seven hits in an instant. However, he notices that Elfman had transformed into his Beast Soul: Lizardman, covering his body with sharp scales that damaged Bacchus's own palms. Elfman then challenges Bacchus, saying that if he can't land a hit, he will have to let Bacchus hit him, and that they'll see which will hold up longer, Bacchus's palms, or Elfman's body.
Bacchus charges towards him with excitement and a burning soul. Bacchus continues to attack him while Elfman endures his attacks. After some time, the two drop to their knees, exhausted. Bacchus then rises, laughing, and compliments Elfman calling him a man and then collapses, giving Elfman the victory. Elfman then releases a powerful cry expressing his victory.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 278, Pages 17-26
