"Neige again?" Vil scowled by the mentioned name.

"I know what you're going to say. But, think of this as your chance to move up a stage." Adela said to Vil. "They're offering 300 million Madol for the role. That's extraordinary for a teen actor, and we can negotiate for more."

"Don't try to win me over with money. No matter how hard you push, I'm not taking the tiles I don't want." Vil said to Adela firmly. "I just... Want to be on the screen until the very end."

"Vil..." Adela mumbled.

"I want to dedicate my time and energy to VDC. Turn that offer down, please." Vil said to Adela.

"I get that you want to put your time as a student first, but please, rethink this!" Adela pleaded. Vil had enough.

"You're irritating! Don't call me again until VDC is finished!" Vil growled out before hanging up.

*Bsst*

"What's wrong? Did you get some bad news?" Kalim calmly asked Vil. Vil took a deep breath before answering, calming himself.

"It wasn't anything to worry about. Anyway, let's start the lesson." Vil answered.

"....." Rook noticed something was off but he stayed silent.

In Pomefiore's Ballroom, everyone was ready to start the practice.

*Clap Clap*

"Gather up after you've finished your calisthenics." Vil said. "I finished putting together the song we're singing for the Vocal & Dance Championship."

"A song you put together? Does that mean this is an original song?" Jamil asked. "Even though this is just a student musical performance, that's amazing."

"For the past few years of VDC writing an original song has been commonplace." Vil said. "The Vocal & Dance Championship... Is not a mere beauty contest or fashion show. We will be evaluated on our dancing and vocal techniques. Also, did we choose a sing that suits our group "

"A suitable song? That's a pretty vague condition. What does that mean?" Deuce muttered.

"Just there are clothes that are suitable and unsuitable for you..." Vil said to Deuce. "If you choose a song that doesn't work with your group's vocal ability or mood, that will only work against you. For example, if a group of elementary schoolers sang a somber blues song or something heavy metal, it doesn't matter how they sing, their vocal quality and visuals will only make the entire thing completely awkward. In order to gain favor with the audience, we have to choose the perfect song for us."

"That reminds me, finalists will be chosen by audience votes in this competition." Jamil said to Vil.

"That's right, everyone in attendance has a part to play in deciding the outcome." Vil nodded. "Every member of the audience and the staff and the contestants are given one bite to pick who they think the winner is."

"Even the contestants? Won't everyone just bite for their own team?" Kalim said in confusion as to why the contestants get a vote as well. "I think everyone is going to think their team won."

"Amateurs would think so, but... There are times you can't vote for yourself after seeing the abilities of your opponents." Vil explained briefly. "You know it the moment you see their performance. You realize that there's no way you can beat them. If you can deceive yourself after seeing that, then you're pitiably pathetic."
