"How come?"
It was not only Researcher Mahan that had such a question running through his mind. Instructor Valdin and even Simon's classmates were surprised by his words.
Most especially, Researcher Mahan and Instructor Valdin.
The reasons why both of them were stunned and shocked beyond belief is because according to the clan records, Simon had no shadow affinity.
There was no sign of it during his Coming of Age Rite, and he had not even spent up to a week in the clan, so how was he able to gain a new affinity so soon?
He had not stepped out of the clan.
The number of merits he had was very little to be able to purchase a natural treasure from the clan.
So, how was he able to gain a new affinity?
And shadow affinity for that matter once again?
Instructor Valdin and Researcher Mahan trusted the records of the clan, especially when the records should be 100% accurate for a Year 1 Initiate who was not able to leave the clan to complete missions.
