Chapter 92: Red Sun - A 9th-Floor Contestant!
Kai did not have any idea about the strength of a Contestant above 4th floor.
All he could do was to make an educated guess based on his experience and the Stat, Perception.
His team members had told him during his Initiation mission that the higher the danger, the more susceptible his Perception would become to it. So, following that logic, the moment he had entered the house, his Perception should have been screaming bloody murder.
But Sonia had added more to it. It’s also a double-edged sword, she had told him. The higher the gap between you and the other Contestant, the higher will be the chances for Perception to fail. If your attacker has an overwhelming advantage over you in Perception, he can easily trick you too.
If it was only this, then Kai wouldn’t have named Robin a monster.
The thing was, Selene was within him. Her Perception was even higher than him. It was her second highest Stat. Yet, even she had failed to notice a Contestant’s presence. Then didn’t that mean...
Kai licked his lips, sweat drenching his back, chest, and ass alike.
He looked at Robin, who had stopped after just taking a step out of the kitchen. He was a muscular, green-eyed and red-haired adult, seemingly in his late twenties. He was wearing a loose white t-shirt over airy blue shorts.
For a moment, Robin just stood there at door, carrying a tray.
Then Kai trembled, waves of emotions bombarding him like never before. His Perception had indeed failed... However, the Advance Emotions Manipulation was still working fine as if it didn’t care about the target’s power level at all.
So, yes. Kai trembled, sensing the exact same emotions oozing out of Robin as those oozing out from himself. Moreover, Robin’s green eyes were terrifyingly planted on... Petyr.
