'He is definitely more skilled then me'
Ais know that for a fact as she had seen William's fight with Goliath.
Because of that a head on fight will be extremely unfavorable for her and that is why she need to use special means to caught him off guard.
'Tempest', Ais said in an almost inaudible voice as her descending speed increased many folds in an instant.
In an instant she was before right before William.
*clank*
Sound of metal hitting against metal rang out as William received her attack.
With the close proximity, she was clearly able to see an expression of disbelief pasted on William's face.
Ais expected as much and thus without any delayed moment she quickly spins around to built up momentum and launched a verticle strike at William, targetting his head.
*swish*
But this time instead of using his sword to counter, William instead moved to the side dodging the attack.
Quickly following behind him, Ais use the tip of her rapier and pierce at William.
*swish*
Once again William dodged her attack by moving his body sideways.
Ais bites her lower lip a little as she continued her assault launching multiple attacks at William.
And to her surprise William dodges each and every one of them.
*swish*swish*swish*
Again and again and again William kept dodging her attacks, it was as if he was getting used to her attacks as William now didn't use big movements to dodge and would instead use the most minimal of movements to repel her attack.
Ais started getting irritated by the fact that till now William has not once used his sword to retaliate.
'Why?'
'Is it because you think that I am not good enough?'
Ais feels annoyed by the fact that she may be being looked down upon by a rank3.
But maybe William was too occupied with ais that he didn't notice the small opening in the ground as he stepped on it and his steps filtered for a moment.
But this one instant was more than enough for Ais as her eyes shone while she quickly launched a pincer attack on William using all.her strength.
Yes unfortunately because of repeatedly missing her target and then seeing the perfect opportunity to strike present itself before her, Ais forgot to hold back and attacked with the full speed of a rank5.

Coming back a little, when Ais's sword was about to land on William.
'What an amateur',William thought as he looked at Ais's figure dropping towards him from the sky.
Did she think it was an action movie or something?
Like seriously just look at how vulnerable she is while aboveground.
throwing the empty potion bottles at her making her fall to the ground and then using that opportunity to seize her neck with his sword was the easiest way.
Or he can just create a fireball mid-air making her a medium rare.....but it's a sword duel so forget it.
'As expected she used tempest.....', William calmly thought as he saw her speed increase all of a sudden.
Anyone who has watched danmachi will know of her ability....really who was she trying to fool?.
Shaking his head in his mind, William decided to use 'Desire' to face the attack head-on.
After all wouldn't he look more powerful if he were to take all of her attacks while standing on the same place.
His goal isn't to win but to impress Ais so that she would do anything for him in exchange for his teaching....
And then he can use her to fullfill all of his carnal desire-----cough SAFETY! He would use her to guarantee his Safety and nothing else.
Seeing the Ais's sword coming closer, William used 'Desire' and parried it.
*Clank*
William's arm felt a little numb from the impact.
'She is stronger even if she is holding back----.', All of a sudden William's thought process came to a halt as he saw something....
cracks...
A small crack has formed on the surface of 'Desire' exactly where Ais stricked with 'Desperate'....
A crack...
On a sword made out of Goliath's tooth.....
Personally crafted by a lvl5...
Costing millions of Valis...
'MY 45 MILLION VALIS!.'
(cheap iron sword- serves you right!!!)
---Skill*[Cold blooded]*is shaking---
Calm returned to William's eyes as he quickly pulled away 'Desire' and started dodging instead.
He decided to file a complaint against Hephaestus familia for selling cheap goods as soon as he went back.

At the same time inside of a certain rank5 adventurer's Smitty.
*Achoo*
'Weird am I forgetting something?', Tsubaki thought as she scratched her head with her right hand.
Shaking her head a little, Tsubaki went near the anvil to pick up her hammer.
And as she was looking towards the anvil, a certain gray coloured sword came in her vision....
Wait wasn't this William sword?
What is it doing here?
And where did that sword made for decoration go.....
A terrible premonition hit Tsubaki.
Crap.....
