Vil and Training (pt2)

Vil reluctantly agrees to help Idia capture his tsum after Idia asks how he is supposed to do so with his athletic level.

After the tsum starts running away with a basket over it Idia sends Vil in pursuit, but the tsum’s stamina is revealed to take after Idia’s own and it soon stops.

Vil seems to do yoga as a part of his morning warm-up exercises in addition to going on morning runs, joined by his tsum during Tsumsted. The tsum also joins him for additional training at Pomefiore afterwards.

Vil is unamused by the idea of Vargas Camp, saying, “some of us exercise every morning. Not everyone here needs to get in shape,” but he later admits that hauling firewood was “quite a workout.”

When the surviving students of Trey, Azul, Jade and Vil need someone who is good at running to capture the Vargas Monster Jade observes, “I doubt I could hold a candle to someone who jogs every morning like Vil does,” and Vil does ultimately end up filling the role of confronting the monster and leading them on a chase.

Azul says, “I’m very glad Vil is here. He has to sprint in a zigzag while both avoiding attacks and making sure we can keep up…I shudder to imagine how this might have gone if we didn’t have someone who jogs every morning.”

After the events of the camp Vil says he can see the Film Research Club spending a few nights camping in the woods and training as a form of exercise. 

Vil is in charge of training the Fairy Gala IF team, having Jack and SIlver do splits, walk across a balance beam 2,000 times each, and do hour-long leg holds.

We see Vil go on a morning run with Jack who says he is surprised that Vil is able to keep up with him. Vil responds, “Morning workouts are part of my daily routine.You’d do well not to underestimate me,” but refuses to do an additional lap, saying, “My goal is to maintain a perfectly lean muscle tone, not create bulging sinew everywhere.”

Vil says that he has always kept his core muscles toned, which “apparently makes (him) well-suited to sports that require a lot of balance.”

After being tested on by STYX Vil says that he would like to get in his daily workout or some yoga.

During the Cloudcalling event Leona says that Vil is almost as formidable as Lilia, with both likely to win against just about any opponent. Leona’s strategy for Vil involves drawing the fight out, which Vil describes as “an elegant and refined fighting style, perfect for me,” saying, “I’ve no objections. The spectators will no doubt appreciate the extra time to admire me.”

During the bout Vil reminds himself, “Draw out the fight, look to counter… And above all, remain beautiful…”
