== History ==
Bill is the son of a major in the national army of Ostania who attends Eden Academy as part of Wald Hall. His father brought him up with love and care, also instilling in him the belief that he would be a hero of the national army and should strive to achieve success for the sake of a bright future for their country. Bill is happy to share his father's beliefs and, therefore, constantly strives to become the best in his school.
== Synopsis ==
=== Stella Star Arc ===
Prior to the interclass dodgeball match with Cecile Hall, a rumor was going around the students that the MVP of the game would get a Stella Star. Being extremely competent at sports, Bill took the lead for his team and quickly eliminated a lot of the opponents, including Becky, Emile, and Ewen. However, he has trouble hitting Anya, who used her mind-reading to dodge his throws, which shocks Bill and brings him to tears. When Anya trips and falls to the floor, an enraged Bill yells "Die!!" at her as he throws the ball at her. After Damian protects her from the hit, Anya makes her throw, but her poor throwing skill is revealed, allowing Bill to eliminate her and win the match.
Wald Hall celebrates their victory and congratulate Bill on the win and the Stella Star they think he will be receiving. However, Henry Henderson informs him that there was never a plan to award a Stella Star and that perhaps he should receive a Tonitrus Bolt for his uncouth speech during the game. Later, when Anya becomes the first person in their grade to get a Stella Star, she proudly wears it on her uniform to school, and Bill is surprised that she got a Star.
=== WISE Arc ===
With the return of "Old Lady Tonitrus" Donna Schlag to Eden, Bill hurries to Cecile Hall to warn them of her, mentioning how his own class had already been given multiple Tonitrus Bolts by her. After explaining her terrifying background, he tells them to run before collapsing to the ground.
=== Red Circus Arc ===
Eden's first graders are going to a museum for a cultural experience, and the bus Bill is on has students from both Wald Hall and Cecile Hall. Sitting behind Damian, Bill notices his irritation about taking the buses and tells him there is value in all new experiences, and adds that this is a new opportunity to make new friends. Damian refuses, stating that other classes all rivals, so Bill challenges him to see which class can correctly name more dinosaurs in the museum. Later, while witnessing Damian and Anya's exchange, Bill and the other Wald Hall kids remark how noisy the Cecile Hall students are.
Shortly after, the bus passes the museum and goes another direction, followed by two strangers boarding inside. After their chaperone is immobilized with a taser, the leader, Billy Squire, introduces themselves as the Red Circus and declares the bus hijacked, scaring Bill and the other children. As Billy walks to the front of the bus with his shotgun, Bill gets up and tells his frightened schoolmates to calm down, reminding them that their parents are important people and that help is on the way. Billy points his rifle at him and tells him to be quiet, and the boy quickly shrinks to his seat in fear. Despite this, Bill manages to calm his peers.
Billy begins to say that everyone knows how important the children's parents are and calls out children from influential families, referring to Bill as Major Watkins's son. He then menacingly tells them to pray that their parents will use their power to save them. After Becky and Anya throw something out the window, Billy grabs a device and attaches it around Anya's neck. He reveals to the children that it is a bomb and warns that the next time anyone tries to act against them, he will blow it up. Billy's revelation that the device on Anya is a bomb shocks all the students, but the girl casually plops back to her seat and whacks on the bomb, frightening Bill and the others. Sometime later, the children suddenly hear a loud pop, and the bus starts to swerve around. Police surround the bus shortly after, and the children are relieved to see them.
With the SSS arriving, the group is cornered, so Billy grabs some black sheets from his bag and orders the students to cover the windows. Afterward, he steps outside with Damian to state his demands. After heading back inside, Damian is embarrassed to have everyone see him like that. Bill tries to cheer him up, saying that while they are still kids, Damian did a great job keeping it together and that their only hope is to wait for their parents to do something. As his friends agree, Damian calls Bill a 40-year-old grade schooler, offending him.
As time passes by, the kids start feeling hungry and thirsty, so Billy allows the police to give supplies to the children. The supplies are delivered by Henry, who willingly joins the children as another hostage in place of the dorm tutor. Inside the bus, the children eat the Blackbell company's emergency food. Damian, Emile, and Ewen comment on its poor flavor, and Bill and Becky tell them not to complain in their current situation. Watching the children from the side, Billy stares with a tender look.
After the Billy and Red Circus are apprehended, all the kids are saved from the bus. Afterward, at Eden Academy, an awards ceremony is held for Bill, Anya, Becky, and Damian for their courageous actions during the hijacking crisis, and each of them are rewarded with a Stella Star. Leaving the event, Bill expresses his happiness for earning his first Stella.
=== Term Finals Arc ===
When the term finals are looming, Bill stands among the first-year students and looks at the announcement posted on the board. On the day the exam results are posted, the students eagerly rush over to see their grades. Bill is overjoyed that he got the second highest score in Math in their grade and will be getting his second Stella Star. He also notices Anya's name on the board and shows it to her, revealing that Anya has flunked her Math final. Anya shouts out in panic as she realizes she will be getting a Tonitrus Bolt, and Bill is startled by her outburst.
Days after the term finals, the next big event at Eden is the end-of-class gala. Bill arrives at the party and participates in the first game of the friendly competitions between the classes. Starting the first round of the quiz game with Damian, Bill is sportsmanlike with him, but Damian acts like he does not care about the game. As the game starts, Bill and the other students watch in surprise as Damian quickly wins the first round by correctly naming all of the school's "Seven Great Secrets."
