Vil and Leona (pt5)

Vil lectures Leona for not taking the fourth-year internships seriously, and when Leona reveals he has actually already submitted his application (unlike the rest of them) Vil responds, “Is Leona under some sort of curse that obliges him to be snide every time he opens his mouth?”

It is Leona and Riddle who call in Vil and Crewel for help during the Fairy Gala IF. Vil says that normally he would have turned down a request from Leona, but he refuses to stand for any sloppy fashion shows to be put on in his presence.

When Leona tells Kalim about the importance of Malleus taking the initiative to attend dorm meetings Vil adds from the side, “This from the guy who sleeps till just before the meeting and needs someone to literally drag him out of bed.”

When Leona is uninterested in taking part in the competition at the school store for New Year’s Vil tries to goad Leona into playing by saying that Jack has the spirit of a fighter, unlike Leona, but Leona remains uninterested, though Vil pushes with, “I’m quite confident I can win whether you join or not, Leona.It’s just a little game, but if you’re so loath to lose, then I’ll not force you to play.” (It is ultimately Jack who convinces Leona to join.)

When deciding who will sit in the front seat of Leona’s car during Cloudcalling Vil volunteers the information, “I wouldn’t sit up front if you paid me. I just want to enjoy the savanna scenery out the window. Having you next to me would spoil the view.” Leona responds, “I didn’t even ask you.”

While Vil’s teasing can be one-sided there is more back-and-forth in the Cloudcalling event: Vil compliments Leona’s driving, to which he sarcastically responds, “Your praise means everything to me.”

When Vil says that being reminded that the tournament is all about Leona negatively impacts his motivation Leona responds, “I’m expectin’ a good show from a top entertainer like you.”

They also share banter during Playfulland, with Vil commenting on Leona’s “show of arrogance” and saying they will not be thanking him for his efforts, to which Leona responds, “I was gettin’ sick and tired of babysitting these herbivores anyway. You can take care of them from here on out,” entrusting the safety of the younger students to Vil.
