In regards to the author breaking his own rules, there's the possibility (slim and ridiculous as it seems) that Demonic Commandeer was "locked" in the same way that Silver Crow's wings were.
But even assuming that leveling up didn't offer any bonuses for the "hidden" DC ability (just as, perhaps, upgrades for Silver Crow's flight might have been hidden as long as the wings remained unfound), there would have been OTHER potential bonuses to choose.
Silver Crow had the option of gaining a wrist-mounted crossbow type weapon; an ability completely unrelated to his wings. If Silver Crow could have gained powers unrelated to the one power his entire avatar was built around, Dusk Taker would have seen option besides DC upgrades.
Yet he apparently didn't invest upgrades into speed, or strength or armor, or any other basic parameter, because Silver Crow was winning a fist-fight against him on-foot, without using Aviation at all (until the end, for a finishing attack).
[Now, Noumi could have just been letting Haruyuki build up his SP gauge and waiting for Silver Crow to reveal the power that he wanted to steal... but Noumi himself admitted that Haruyuki was winning so easily that Noumi nearly had to resort to "a trick" (the Incarnate System) to win.]
And for Demonic Commandeer to be as game-breakingly powerful as it was, you would think Noumi sank every possible upgrade into it. Yet, he didn't get it until after leveling up a few times?
It just doesn't make sense. The only saving grace to how LITTLE sense it makes is that Noumi is now retired, and we can afford to ignore him.
Oh, and on the subject of game-breaking: It's canonical that Demonic Commandeer subverted the principle of "equal level, equal potential".
Using DC, Dusk Taker could take an enormously-potential power like Flight and still have room to contain other powers; his Avatar could store and use more potential abilities than any normal Duel Avatar. And this on TOP of the intrinsic ability of Demonic Commandeer.
