Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 46

(EP-46.1) Method #3

046 – Correct Way #3

Most villains could be considered meticulous workers.

They had to make strenuous efforts behind the scenes to achieve their evil goals.

Such villains would not tolerate stagnation and always try to develop themselves steadily.

Naturally, I, Theo Gospel, was the same.

I had always been overshadowed by my betters, like Queen Aira and Elga. But, the time had finally come to show what kind of villain I was!

“Now, No. 66, Mr. Theo Gospel. Please come this way and stand on the hatched line.”

Hearing that, I got out of the queue and stood in front of the starting point sprinkled with white lime.

This was the gymnasium. A place to measure one’s strength or to compete against others.

Now, I was faced with another opportunity to test my limits!

━Look, is that ‘the’ Theo Gospel?

━’That’ Demon Monk? I heard he was eight feet tall and had six arms.

━This guy is around the same age as us... Isn’t he someone else?

━Hmm, why would he come to Ark?

I could hear murmurs of interest from behind.

Though, the rumors about me were quite bizarre...

“You need to cross that line over there, 100 meters from here. Alright, get ready-.”

Dang-.

“Heup!”

As soon as the ball was raised, I sprung my legs with all my might and ran. My goal was the finish line in front. The sensation of my body moving through the air was vivid!

━Look at that-.

━Wow-.

At the same time, there were several voices «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» of interest.

... The reason was probably because after taking off, I slowed down immediately amidst ragged breaths.

“Heu, heueut, hieek...!”

I only ran for 100 meters but it felt like there was a hole in my chest. This was my current strength...

“... Alright, Mr. Theo Gospel. 100 meters in 21 seconds. It is the lowest score among the records I measured today.”

21 seconds?

━That’s his limit...?

━What did I just see...?

People started muttering. They must have already lost the will to laugh at my record. It was that unimpressive...

But, I was feeling quite happy.

I had improved a lot!

When I first woke up in this body, there were times when I would run out of breath just by walking.

Just going uphill or walking up the stairs would make me gasp for air. It felt like I was moving a rusted body that had not been used for a long time.

“Mr. Theo, it’s time for pull-ups.”

“Huiek...!”

“... You only did one.”

I didn’t even get one before. So I’d clearly made some progress!

“Huuu-.”

With just a few simple physical tests, my body was already exhausted.

While I was leaning over the mat and gasping for air, the white robed Proctor looked at me and clicked his tongue.

“That is all, Mr. Theo. From your results you’re not qualified to even enter the lower dormitory, therefore your admission to Ark itself is rejected.”

“.......”
