Vil Info Compilation part 7: Epel (pt2)

After being admonished by Vil, Epel runs away and explains to Deuce how Vil has forbade him from speaking in his natural dialect and forces him to wear “frilly uniform shirts”.

As he vents his frustrations to Deuce he receives a phone call from his mother, who reveals that Vil has promoted the apple juice produced by their village on his Magicam, saving them from a financially unstable situation.

Epel returns and tells Vil that while “Deep down, (he’s) always looked down on people who care about being cute or charming” he finally understands what Vil meant when he talked about power.

Vil responds, “There is one form of power that can bring people to their knees. It is more overwhelming than violence, more eloquent than word. I speak, of course, of beauty…You were fortunate enough to be born with the weapon called ‘charm’. Whether you sharpen that weapon into something useful or let it rust away is up to you.”

Epel says he wants to get powerful enough to beat both Neige and Vil himself.

By the end of Book 5 Epel is asking Vil to allow him to take center stage, saying that he is “a legit poison apple now” and he wants to take Neige down, not see Vil embarrass himself in front of an audience by performing post-overbolt and running out of stamina mid-show.

Vil refuses Epel’s offer, saying that he stills expects Epel “to captivate the hearts of the audience”.

While event timelines can be kind of vague, by Halloween it seems that their relationship has improved: we see Epel try to protect Vil from Magicam monsters who would have uploaded his picture without his consent, which earns him Vil’s gratitude.

During the Phantom Bride and New Year’s events we see that they are still butting heads—though perhaps less violently than before—and in Epel’s dorm vignette Vil assigns him the task of designing a blastcycle for a film club project, knowing that Epel is passionate about them.

When Vil admonishes Epel for his initial design and bans him from the dorm Epel responds that the situation is only so frustrating because Vil is exactly right.

Epel manages to create a blastcycle design that is unique to himself and Vil rewards him with the task of driving it to the film club’s location, to Epel’s delight.

At the conclusion of the vignette, however, Vil strong-arms Epel into lead role of the film club’s next movie, despite his protests, with Rook insinuating that such a result was Vil’s intention from the start.

Vil comes up again in Epel’s school uniform vignette, where he impresses Seek with a bird carved from an apple at Vil’s behest, as Vil said he wanted to try one at its most beautiful.
