Vil and Fame (pt2)

Jamil comments on their group getting mobbed by fans if Vil is discovered to be in the Fairest City, which is something we see happen in the Cloudcalling event: vendors recognize Vil and, hoping he will use their products to promote sales, many within the marketplace start trying to give Vil their wares for free, which Vil refuses to accept.

Kifaji welcomes Vil to the city by saying, “it is a great honor to have such a famous model visit us,” and Vil tells the Kalim and Lilia that they will need to “cheer quite loudly” in order to be heard over his fans during their tournament.

This is proven to be accurate, with many spectators cheering for Vil. Kalim says, “The whole place is going wild!” and Lilia follows with, “What’d you expect? A world famous model just made a surprise appearance.”

After Lilia is disqualified from the tournament, compromising Leona’s strategy, he comes up with an idea to distract Kalim’s opponent by having Vil call out to him at the start of the bout, as the opponent is a big fan of Vil’s. Vil says that he doesn’t much like the idea of being used, but does not argue.

Ace says that, in the Fairest City, managers trip over themselves to greet Vil every time he enters a store. Vil comments that he would have liked to visit a lot more shops, “but not with the film festival on. Too many prying eyes.”

Vil receives birthday presents from all over the world every year, saying that he cannot thank everyone individually but he is always grateful.

After NRC goes viral on Magicam during Halloween Vil explains, “Before now, we were only visited by people already interested in Night Raven College…or people interested in me, I suppose.”

Vil is very popular during the Halloween event, with people taking pictures in a no-photography area and without his consent. It is later revealed that the costumes worn by the characters during the Halloween parade put together for every single student by tailors and volunteers from Foothill City, to thank Vil for giving the island more exposure.
