The highest damage in the game came from Alvis's Fala Flame at 70 total atk per hit. Holsety maxed out at about 50 for Sety in my game. So if the show follows this logic, odd's are she's much stronger than him, but just can't land a proper hit.

Spoiler:

Well, we actually see Kazuma's attack plow right through Ayano's.

The claw retreats in the air with some evil laugh, then Ayano arrives and thinks Kazuma killed those 2 people, while it actually was that other thing. Also, I think those eyes Kazuma saw when he woke up and in that fight, and the claw belong to some creature...but it's too early to guess what it is...

Spoiler:

When Kazuma saw the claw, he called out to the wind spirit saying it was breaking their contract.

Spoiler:

If that claw really was the wind spirit framing Kazuma as the killer, a possible theory is that the wind spirits are trying to start a war against the fire spirits and are framing Kazuma as a killer to that end. At the end of the episode, Kazuma talks about a war with the Kannagi family, but he also talks about being made to dance (ie, being used) by people/thjings hiding in the shadows.
