Combining contrasting abilities

Mr. Zhao nodded his head in acknowledgment.

Since the time in Zoar and the destruction of Agatha, he had wanted to witness the progress of Nix. Thinking it through, he realized letting Obsidian was the perfect balance he needed to use to know how well Nix could hold his lot.

'Fire ranks are known to have an indomitable willpower, how well could you hold your lot against one of our best members?' He narrowed his eyes at both males.

Obsidian wasn't just an experiment, but rather a perfect manifestation of a sadistic maniac. Trained to view those he is given information about as incompetent, evil, and corrupt.

He had merely fed the recruit's information to him in case of such events like the one that were going to happen anytime soon.

"Do not go easy, yet don't let him die. We need him alive... for now." He said in a whisper, walking away immediately after he had given a go-ahead.

Obsidian nodded his head, turning his attention towards Nix.
