(3 Day later)
It had been three days since Stoick and John had spoken In those three days many things had happened such as the preparations for the final training and where Gothi was going to choose someone to kill his first dragon, Ashild practicing those three days a lot, and Hiccup studying his dragon and improving some things
In this training, it was decided that only the best would enter, which were Hiccup, Ashild, and John, but John decided not to participate, so only Hiccup and Ashild remained.
John had woken up early because today was the final day of training where Hiccup and Ashild would fight a dragon to be chosen to kill their first dragon.
Astrid had also gotten up early, she didn't want to miss this. It was the last day of training for his little sister.
——————————————————————-
All Berk's people were on their way to the academy to see this pre-final match and where the one who was going to kill his first dragon would be chosen in front of everyone.
John and Astrid were with Hiccup and Ashild preparing them for combat where Ashild could be seen a little angry at what had happened in the week.
Ashild who had trained for a long time was losing to Hiccup who was skinny, fleeing from dragons, inventions that did not work and that he could not carry an ax or a shield, she had lost against him and although this was the end, she was going to give everything she could to win this fight
Astrid: "Ashild gives the best you can do."
John: "I'll be supporting you too and no, it's not because your sister is forcing me to support you. To you too Hiccup but Ashild more."
Hiccup:" Hey."
John: "Okay, listen, you'll have an axe and a shield, there will be some wooden places where you can hide... Give the best you can give and the best Viking wins."
Hiccup and Ashild entered the training ground
———————————————————————
Stoick:" Then tell me Gobber who will win of the two."
Gobber: "I don't know if the two are good but if I have to choose one I would say that Ashild, has trained a lot and with John while Hiccup is not."
Stoick:' And he's dragon Slayer the best dragon killer that the world has seen, so how did Hiccup reach this level? when he never wanted to train with him.'
Stoick:" Let's start"
Gobber: "Release the Gronckle."
——————————————————————
The Gronckle was freed and Hiccup and Ashild hid while the Gronckle flew nearby.
Ashild ducks behind a barrier and puts her axe at Hiccup's throat
Ashild:" Stay out of my way! I'm winning this thing."
Ashild:" Please, by all means."
She darts off, CLOSING FAST on the dragon. The crowd above cheers
Hiccup stands and looks around. Amidst the crowd of onlookers, Stoick watches keenly, beaming with pride. He locks eyes with Hiccup, giving him a nod of encouragement. Hiccup adjusts his new helmet and forces a half-hearted smile.
Unbeknownst to Hiccup, the Gronckle spots him and makes a bee-line toward him.
(With Ashild)
As she catches her breath behind a barrier. She scowls, focused, and determined.
Ashild:" This time. This time for sure."
With a FIERCE BATTLE-CRY she LEAPS from cover, axe cocked to throw.
Ashild:" Aaaaaaaaaa..."
And as she clears the barriers, she sees that Hiccup has already laid the Gronckle out.
Ashild:"...aaaaaaauGGGGGHHHHHHHH! No! No!"
Hiccup shrugs, as unhappy with the situation as she is.
Ashild starts to curse and yell
A loud CLACK rings out. From the crowd above, Gothi, the village elder, steps forward, tapping her staff. Everyone lights up excitedly.
Stoick:" Wait! Wait!"
Hiccup tries to escape
Hiccup:" So, later."
Gobber snags Hiccup as he attempts to leave.
Gobber:" Not so fast."
Hiccup:" I'm kinda late for--"
Ashild:" What? Late for what exactly?"
Stoick holds out his hands to silence the jabbering crowd.
Stoick:" Okay quiet down. The elder has decided.
Thrilled, Gobber stands behind Hiccup and Astrid. He points to Astrid as the crowd waits in silent anticipation. Gothi shakes her head 'no.' The crowd 'Oooohs.' Gobber then points to Hiccup. The elder nods an affirmative 'yes.' The crowd erupts in cheers.
Astrid turns a seething, deadly glare on Hiccup.
Stoick:" Silence, I know it's a time to celebrate but it's just to inform you that in a few days it will be John's graduation from the academy. As everyone knows, he didn't take it along with those his age, so he will take it first and then Hiccup's... LET'S CELEBRATE."
Gobber:" You've done it! You've done it, Hiccup! You get to kill the dragon!"
Stoick:" Ha, ha! That's my boy!
Hiccup is hoisted onto the recruits' shoulders and carried out to the cheering spectators...
Hiccup:" Heh, heh. Oh yeah! Yes! I can't wait. I am so..."
