Waking up Hiccup groggily sits up on his bed. Yawning he shakes his head and rubs his eyes to focus. Finally getting his eyes to focus on his surroundings he sighs and gets up. Preparing himself a meal of fish he wonders back to the Night Fury in the canyon that cannot fly away. He wondered why it was that every time the dragon goes up it somehow is thrown back down onto the ground. Looking at his cooking fish he comes to the conclusion that maybe if he gives it some fish then maybe he could earn the dragon's trust. Nodding his head he starts to eat his morning breakfast.
Finally finished with his meal he gets up and goes to his dresser in his room. Opening the doors to the dresser he sees his signature coat and tunic. Putting it on he grabs his favorite sword. Strapping it to his waist he closes the door to the dresser and heads out. Walking across the village he passes person after person that give him angry looks. Finally arriving at the arena he walks into what appears to be a maze. After a while of walking through he finds the center where all the other students were waiting.
Noticing his arrival all the other trainees turned toward him. Raising an eyebrow he continues forward until he is close enough to them. Looking down he notices a small axe and shield on the floor. Ignoring the axe he picks up the shield just in case anything crazy happens on today's lesson. Knowing Gobber he knows that he is going to need this shield. Getting up after placing the shield on his arm he hears Gobber at the outside of the arena.
"Alright everyone. Today we are going to talk about attack. Now the next dragon I released is the Nadder. Good luck." He says with a chuckle as everyone turns to see a deadly Nadder rounding the corner. Shaking his head he quickly halls out of there and hides himself within the maze. Turning a corner he stops and puts his back against a wall and waits. Hearing the screams of most of the children he focuses on the sounds of the Nadder.
Hearing the spikes of its tail hitting Fishlegs' shield he knows exactly where it is and goes in. stopping at a corner he sees the twins hiding themselves at what he believes is the blind spot that Gobber was talking about. His eyes sag in annoyance as he sees them both argue on about the blind spot and something about bathing.
His thoughts were interrupted however by a hand on his shoulder. Startled and put in survival mode he sees turns around and draws out his sword preparing for combat, seeing that it is only Astrid and Snotlout he shakes his head and loosens up before going forward to look for the dragon. Rounding a corner he sees the Nadder right in front of him. An annoyed look popped on his face as he quickly hits the Nadder in the face with his shield and charges passed it while it's recovering. Running as fast as he can he stops and looks back to check if the Nadder gave chase. Not seeing anything he sighs in relief. At that moment his thoughts drifted back to the Night Fury and what he was going to do with it. Hiccup was curious on what would happen if he tried to get the Night Fury's trust
His thoughts were interrupted however by Astrid screaming his name. Looking up he sees her jump off one of the walls of the maze as its about to be torn down by the Nadder chasing after her. Thinking quickly and not want her to get hurt he stays and attempts to catch her as she's falling. When she finally lands he looks to the side to see that the Nadder was already charging at the both of them. Looking back at Astrid he sees her try to pull out her axe from his shield. Finally getting annoyed with her angry look he punches her off of him as he jumps up and waits for the Nadder. Removing his shield from his arm he grabs at the axe and runs forward at the Nadder. Finally getting to the Nadder he jumps as high as he could and with every ounce of power smashed the shield onto the Nadder's head.
The Nadder wobbled around before Gobber grabbed it and threw it back into its own cage. Turning to Astrid he holds out her axe for her to take. However, he is greeted by an angry comment.
