Headcanon? Basically how I imagine Vil felt post VDC. Like I understand that Rook was just being true to himself and being honest, and in reality Neige's group performed better, but I just cant help but think about how heartbroken and betrayed Vil must have felt😔 like Rook was his biggest supporter, and Vil put in so much effort to try to surpass Neige, but at the end of the day even the person he trusted the most chose Neige over him😭
It's like no matter how hard he tries, he'll always be second place..
What I really can't get over is how the reason why they lost was directly because of Vil's actions. If he didn't let his paranoia and anxiety get the best of him, if he didnt give up before he even tried, if he didn't overblot and exhaust the team before they could perform— they probably would have won.
Hmmmm now I feel even more convinced that Ferro/Fellow knows NRC more than he lets on. Of course he’s buttering them up with compliments, but some of his lines I feel like could be interpreted as…bitter? “The scholars of tomorrow” “unmistakable noble aura”…and as I mentioned in previous posts, it’s very odd that NRC students have become a target specifically.
I’m the sort of person who interprets irl conversations in many different ways haha…so when he says “That’s NRC students for you!” When Floyd gives him and Gidel his usual strange fish nicknames, he makes it sound like it’s “typical” or “expected” for NRC students to be eccentric, despite repeatedly saying how noble and illustrious the students are. HAS he actually attended NRC before, or at least familiar with some graduates?
Because as immature and silly the boys at NRC can be, we have to remember that the outside world isn’t aware of this. They still have a prestigious name to them, an image that Crowley is very careful to maintain, and it doesn’t help that NRC is located on such a secluded island.
@twst-eeps has pointed out that Ferro knows about these specific uniforms, and has probably “been waiting to scam NRC students from true beginning.” Interesting how he says “we have good luck” as if he were surprised to see NRC students here. But he must have traveled to Sages Island for them specifically, right? Unless…he’s aware of the barrier at NRC. This event started because of a basketball game at RSA. I cant quite remember if RSA has a similar barrier to NRC (Noble Bell College does), but barriers at NRC go down during events and sports games. We can assume RSA is the same way if they have a barrier.
So if Ferro was looking for NRC students specifically, but didn’t go near the school building, perhaps he knows of the barrier OR fears being recognized by the faculty. Which is why he said it’s “good luck” to run into NRC students so far away from their school- he can carry out his business without catching suspicious from NRC faculty
He calls himself “Fellow Honest,” and claims that some people call him “Honest John.” But ngl, “Fellow Honest” sounds like a stage name. Even more of a reason for him to avoid NRC (if he was a student there, that is), to prevent his true identity and name getting revealed.
٩( ᐛ )و If none of this happens and I was actually reading into things way too much as usual, I’m gonna jump in a ditch lmaoo, I’ve made way too many posts based on this theory
