Chapter 3

“Then, to start off with, you need to build up some muscle first, Ali.”
I had high expectations when Albert had agreed to teach me but it looks like I won’t be learning how to use a sword right away.
But he’s right. Building a strong foundation first is a good idea.
“So for now, just start with doing 100 sit-ups and 50 push-ups every day,” Albert says, smiling broadly at me.
That kind-older-brother smile of his is starting to look a bit sinister to me now though.
But…. 100 sit-ups and 50 push-ups per day actually seems pretty doable.
During my previous life I did a bit of gymnastics. Back then, back handsprings and back flips were nothing to me.
Right now, I have no muscle to speak of, so I’m not sure whether I could still pull them off at the moment or not, but the point is that during the time period when I was practicing gymnastics, I was expected to do at least 300 sit-ups, 100 push-ups, plus 100 squats every single day. So Albert’s regimen seems like nothing to me.
“Wow, Al’s merciless!”
“That’s asking too much, there’s no way Ali can do that,” I overhear Alan and Henry saying quietly to each other.
……Asking too much?
I guess it probably would have been impossible for the previous Alicia, but for the current me that will be a piece of cake.
I guess I should cut them some slack though since my brothers haven’t realized that I’ve regained my memories from my past life.
I kind of get the feeling that they are making fun of me, too….
But I’m going to become a villainess. There’s no way I would concede defeat and withdraw quietly just because someone is trying to make a fool out of me.
“Okay, Brother. Then once I’ve built a good foundation of muscle, I’ll be expecting you to teach me the art of sword fighting.”
“Of course. But let’s see if you can make it through the week first.”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
One week!?
He doesn’t think I can even make it a week?
“You shouldn’t make light of me,” I declare before walking confidently back to the house.
Ooh, my tone and manner of speaking just now, didn’t that make me sound like a real villainess?
And that was the first time in my life that I’ve ever glared at my brother like that.
Ahh, and Alan’s and Henry’s faces when I said that were priceless! Both of their mouths fell wide open in shock.
That would have been impossible for the old me who had such a brother complex, but no more. I will glare at them as much as I want. I’m already growing into quite the splendid villainess. I need to keep up this pace so I can quickly polish off my villainy skills!
Merrily skipping, I head off towards the library.

T/N: Super short, but hopefully cute! Alicia has such a big personality, I’m expecting great things from her ❤
