Swords strikes were exchanged, the loud clank sound of two swords clashing as air itself had been cut in result of the tremendous pressure the two swords carried in each strike

A blond haired girl and I clashed, stuck in a dead lock before quickly falling back from one another

I stepped back looking at my opponent sliding across the ground as she did the same, while I intently waited to see what my opponent would do next

"I knew you were strong but not this strong" my opponent who was in this world would be the Sword Princess with a slightly surprised look

"You aren't so bad yourself" I said back looking into her apathetic golden eyes which compared to Rimuru would be far darker in tone then his, far more subtle, and cold fitting of her tittle

(Tho his eyes are far more beautiful....) I thought but quickly shock off that idea as Ais was charging towards me her blue rapier hilt moving in considerable speeds

Even though for her world's standard she's quite fast and her swordsmen ship isn't half bad the fact is even with that I didn't need
[Thought Acceleration] to keep up with her

*Ting* *Ting *Ting*

The swords strikes increased in frequency she eyes locked with mine as we exchanged attacks

*Ting* *Ting* *Ting* *Ting* *Ting*

A flurry of sword thrust were exchanged between her and I with rather similar styles, however...

*Ting* "ahh?!"

I pointed my rapier at her neck as she had a knee on the ground, sweat dipping softly on her face as she looked to the ground in defeat

Gareth: "ain't that a surprise"

Lefiya:  "Ais-San lost..."

Tiona & Tione: "No way"

Bete: "This is Bullshit!"

Riveria: "She's strong..."

Finn: "Seriously who are these people"

I heard the Loki Familia members said in disbelief and surprise as one of their strongest adventurers was defeated by me

the rapier the one Rimuru gave me which resembled the one my former teacher Granbell Rosso gave me pointed towards her neck

(Now that I think of it that old man would probably have tried to get her under his wing if he could, he sure had a good eye for talent) I reflected using my own past experience to conclude that statement

I looked at the rapier Rimuru gave me which glinted with the sunlight

(To be honest I thought her sword would snap if it came in contact with a weapon of Mythical status, it seems I have underestimated this world, however it seems she doesn't know how to pace herself just like me)
