During Beanfest Vil instructs Idia to join his group (“It was not a yes or no question. I instructed you to come with me”) and Idia refuses, choosing instead to surrender to the opposite team. Vil admonishes him with “What irks me the most is how eager he was…we are going to have words when this game is over, Idia!”
Vil recognizes Idia during Halloween by his “signature snide tone.”
Idia is Vil’s judge for the Master Chef course and he with the fear that no matter what he says Vil will throw it back in his face and offering to give him a passing grade before he has even tasted the cake that Vil has made.
Vil says he wants Idia’s honest opinion (Idia: “This is actually…kinda good!?”), but after receiving it he says he has a more pressing concern: how he looked while he was making it. (Idia: “Why’d you demand a grade from me if you don’t even care?!”)
After spending enough money to qualify for participating in a challenge at the school store during New Year’s Idia refuses, but Vil points out how badly Ortho wants to play, and Idia relents. In the end Vil and Sebek win the match by focusing on Idia, with Vil saying, “I wonder if maybe we were being a bit mean?”
When Idia refuses to go to Playfulland with Ortho, Vil encourages Ortho “to showcase the acting skills (he’s) been cultivating” in the Film Research Club as a wholeheartedly tearful performance “should get (Idia) to fold in no time,” but Ortho says an amusement park would be far too much stimulation.
Vil agrees, saying that Idia would be better off starting with a regular park.
The third tsum event begins with Vil ordering Idia to chase down the tsums with him (Vil’s tsum is caught striking a pose under a light).
Vil comments on the Idia-tsum having a “gloomy face” and Idia responds, “And its first run-in is with Vil. Talk about super scary…I can relate.”
Having captured his tsum Vil tries to leave, and when Idia argues that he helped catch Vil’s tsum so Vil ought help him catch his own Vil responds, “All you did was tag along behind me from a safe distance.”
Idia points out that it is impossible for him to catch any tsums at his athletic level and Vil agrees, joining Idia in propping up a basket with a stick and putting a tablet underneath to catch his tsum.
When the tsum runs away with the basket over it Idia sends Vil to chase after it and he concedes, saying that Idia owes him for the favor.
The tsum soon stops however, with Idia observing that they must take after one another in the “stamina as a dump stat” department.
