Simon did not need Researcher Mahan to perform tests on his body and neither did he need the Researcher to know why his potential was the same as his current affinity.
'When I devoured Thorgan, I took a portion of his shadow affinity. It was only a small portion, but it ended up giving me a C grade shadow affinity.'
'I thought my affinity potential would be S grade or at least A grade since I got it from Thorgan, but I can see that I was wrong.'
'When I devour an individual with my current skill proficiency, I'm taking what that individual currently possesses, not his or her potential.'
'So, assuming I devour an individual with a B grade lightning affinity and I'm able to get all their lightning affinity, I would have a B grade lightning affinity.'
'The individual might have a potential of S grade, but I won't. My potential would be capped at B grade.'
'But what if I devour another individual with a higher grade affinity? Would my affinity grade increase?'
