Stress and emotions can manipulate the outcome, and that's what I think happened here. .........Dismissed because it has nothing to do with my point:

It's egregiously convenient given the situation. That he seemingly unlocked his Aura and his Semblance in one go just like that was already reeking of Deus Ex Machina. If his Semblance was literally "Hide from Grimm" directly, just like that, it would be much worse.

Imagine your house was burning, and then suddenly you unlock your Aura and find your Semblance at the same time out of nowhere, then it turns out you can extinguish flames (not shoot water to extinguish them, just outright kill flames). If you wrote that into a story, it would be a joke.
