Szayel had been paying rapt attention since Ulquiorra had initiated his little technique, enough so that he almost seemed to have forgotten about Lilinette sitting close enough to touch.
Luppi really had taken a battering, hadn't he? The little fool will learn to watch his step in future, Szayel thought, bitterly. Still, it had been interesting to witness, as much as Ulquiorra seemed to dismiss the berserker as Grimmjow's problem.
If Szayel went into the field any time soon, he'd need something to negate the effects of fire. His Hollow was Ice elemental, which could put him at a significant disadvantage if this 'Axel' used a technique such as burning everything in the vicinity. He had good grasp of his chakra element, even for a Ryoka, was unfortunately fast, and preferred to fight long range. He'd have to be crippled, quickly. Especially since he had a fair grasp of the notion of tactics.
The Berserker was mostly just fast and hit hard; a typical berserker, from Szayel's estimation. Powerful, strong, but rather than being defensively strong he relied on simply being harder to hit. He wasn't a tactical fighter, and had even been disarmed and beaten with his own weapon, despite it being a fabricated one. Szayel didn't anticipate any difficulties with him.
The girl was interesting. Holy elemental, mage, and using a limit ability that was documented as being unique to Cetra. While it wasn't beyond the realm of possibility that the girl had that ability while being Ryoka, Marluxia denied it.
But she couldn't possibly be an actual Cetra, surely? Still, it was hard to deny that there should be exactly one person alive in the whole of Spira who can use that ability, and that was Nel, who had a Hollow whose dominant personality was a Cetra shackled into her headspace.
Oh and how he wanted to hear what Marluxia had to say about the abilities of the Ryoka. Old abilities in new ways, new abilities, new methods....
