The Captain only thought (hoped rather) that Zesshi would be stronger or on equal footing (but he obviously lied for other reasons aswell -  1. her existence is rather held secret, and 2. he didn't want her to run off because of her "goal" to find someone stronger).

Additionally, never, ever take "ratings" from New Worlders at face value. Shalltear neither fought with all her might, and only used 1 spell/attack. That one attack was more than enough for him to realize that Shalltear (unequipped and otherwise) is leagues above Zesshi.

That much should have been obvious, to be honest.
