In Epel’s dorm vignette Vil assigns him the task of designing a blastcycle for a film club project, knowing that Epel is passionate about them. When Vil admonishes Epel for his initial design and bans him from the dorm Epel responds that the situation is only so frustrating because Vil is right.
Epel manages to create a blastcycle design that is unique to himself and Vil rewards him with the task of driving it to the film club’s location, to Epel’s delight.
At the conclusion of the vignette Vil strong-arms Epel into lead role of the film club’s next movie despite his protests, with Rook insinuating that such a result was Vil’s intention from the start.
Vil comes up again in Epel’s school uniform vignette, where he impresses Sebek with a bird carved from an apple at Vil’s behest, as Vil said he wanted to try one at its most beautiful.
During Phantom Bride Epel mumbles to himself that he would “cringe so hard (his) soul’d leave (his) body” if he had to propose to a lady “all fancy-like and spout a buncha sappy lines,” following with, “But I’m sure Vil can pull it off!” Vil responds, “I heard all of that, you know.”
Vil says that, should the prefect have any questions about flying, they should go to Epel instead of him.
After repeatedly getting lectured by Vil for getting scraped up during practice with the spelldrive club Epel says, “I got tired of the lectures, so I stopped challenging people head-on and started practicing moves to catch them by surprise,” resulting in him outmaneuvering another player and earning him attention from Leona.
Epel says, “Plus I’m getting roughed up less often, which means fewer tongue-lashings from Vil,” but it is not confirmed if Vil was intentionally trying to help Epel improve his athletic skills.
