In Book 5, Vil and Rook participate in the Song and Dance Championship (SDC) together, which is a musical competition between schools. The two are in charge of recruiting members for Night Raven College's team, and they hold auditions. After seeing the auditioners, Vil is disappointed with their options; but Rook convinces him to take on Ace, Deuce, Kalim, and Jamil, as well as Epel.

On the day of the performance, the group watches the team from Royal Sword Academy rehearse. This performance makes Vil believe his team stood no chance against them, so he decides to attempt to sabotage the team. He uses his signature spell to corrupt a glass of Epel's apple juice and gives it to the center of the RSA team and his lifelong rival, Niege LeBlanche. Before Niege drinks in, though, Rook arrives and convinces Niege to give him the juice. Once he leaves, Rook tries to drink the juice before Kalim knocks it out of his hands.
