One month passed

A month had passed and Hiccup had got the highest score in the dragon fighting class. Now the viking fighting class had began properly. Because the passed month had passed with a few viking trainings so now it happened properly.

Hiccup and his father had grown closer and closer. And Hiccup was succeeded with learning Dragontongue. And now he had five languages that he could speak. The first was Norse and then Spanish and then Latin and then Greek and then Dragontongue. Heck, Horrendous didn't only destroy in Archipelago but in Europe too.

Okay back to the story. The trainees, included Hiccup, was now in the kill ring, taking the first day of training how to fight the outcast. Hiccup had his dagger in his grip. It was firm and fit his hand. Not that was a viking way to fight though. Vikings usually fought with some heavy weapons. And dagger was secondary. But no one complaint about this. It was your way to use your own style.

"Okay. Welcome to the vikings training. Now I have seen that you guys had a few fighting skills with you. So I'll get to the point" Stoick said "Today I want to see your skills properly"

"That means?" Tuffnut asked the chief.

"You'll be attacker and I'll be defender" Stoick replied.

"Oh joy" Hiccup trailed off joyfully. He had a sadist expression plastered on his face. That gave him some awes and gapes. Sending cold glaciers down the people's spines, Hiccup giggled slightly.

"Listen hear trainees!" Stoick said and shook his head, letting go of the image of sadist Hiccup. Over a month, he had seen Hiccup's bad side. And it was when Snotlout exclaimed that Hiccup was cheating, no one get as good as Hiccip in dragon training and since Hiccup was known as a runt. Snotlout came up with that idea. He challenged Hiccup for a fight. And viking's challenge was all about honor. The winner could do anything to loser. And Hiccup beat Snotlout in a minute of teasing. Well Hiccup was just teasing but not until Snotlout started insulting his mother. That gave the bully a broken arms and legs and rips. And what Hiccup did as the winner was that he banned Snotlout from the training until next year. So there was no Snotlout in this training anymore.

"I think the dragon training last month gave you a few tips about how to defend yourself and how to fight! So! Let's get start with no training!" Stoick said "Who will be the first one?!"

Hiccup waited for the first one to raise their hand up and there was one, Astrid Hofferson, who she called herself the fearless "I'll not let you win this time" She growled at Hiccup quietly and then she held her axe firmly and stepped up to face Stoick the Vast.

The others stepped aside not wanting to get harm by the powerful vikings. Hiccup watched in amusement an there was gleaming in his eyes. She was so full of herself... The vikings who was outside the arena was cheering. There weren't any dragon raids this lately so that they had free times. And also, the ice starting to set in this month but not that much.

Hiccup watched carefully as Astrid and Stoick circled each other, studying the opponents. Astrid quickly leaped with an axe. Stoick stepped aside and their axe met, the loud noise was formed and the crowd ooh-ed. Astrid then got kicked at the side and she nearly fell to the ground. Before she could recover from the kick. Stoick grabbed her and threw her to the trainees. They ran away only Hiccup was there to catch her. Astrid landed in Hiccup's arms with a yelp. He put her down and got an angry glare from her.

"I don't need help!" Astrid exclaimed and grabbed her axe, ready to go again.

"So what?" Hiccup put his hands on his waist "You're lucky you were helped. Because your head would likely smack against the wall. Or that you really wanted to-"

"Shut up!" Astrid exclaimed and pointed her axe at Hiccup. Stoick quickly pulled the two out from each other.

"Guys! You have to calm down!" Stoick said.

"Nah. You should better tell her. I'm always calm" Hiccup said, holding his face up and smirked at Astrid "Oh and do you know that you're out already"

Astrid hissed before walking to the other side of the arena, not wanting to face Hiccup. Stoick looked at the two with worry before speaking "Who's next?"

"Me!" The twins yelled. The recent event showed them that it was hurt and they liked pain, so they were excited to get hit.

"How about lady first?" Hiccup said with a bored voice. He was tired of the argument the twins had in the kill ring.

"Yes!" Ruffnut punched up as she won her twin. Tuffnut was going to argue if he wasn't earned a deathly glare from Stoick and Hiccup.

Ruffnut let out and war cry and threw her spear at Stoick. The chief instinctively caught it and that caught him off guard. Tuffnut picked one of the weapon that dropped randomly in the kill ring. Viking didn't like cleaning much so they usually left the weapons there. Ruffnut got an axe and then she lunged at Stoick. Stoick used the longer weapon, Ruffnut's spear, thrusted the wooden handle at her stomach and that gave her a lump.

Next was Tuffnut. He charged at Stoick. But the chief just stepped aside and Tuffnut's head met the wall and knocked himself out.

Fishlegs stared at the chief with wide eyes as he was on edge to wet himself.

"Boo" Stoick said and with that Fishlegs fainted. The laughter cued around the ring.

Next was Hiccup. As he held his dagger in a offensive stance, he turned his cold stare on. Stoick lost his confidence a half. He never actually fought Hiccup before. He didn't know how dangerous Hiccup could be. They kept circled each other. Even if Hiccup was fully ready, he still didn't make any move. Stoick grew impatient and lunged at Hiccup quickly. Hiccup had already known that Stoick would go first. His father's patience was thin.

Stoick brought down his axe vertically. Hiccup jumped to the right, grabbing Stoick's shoulder, so that he would swing to the back before tackling Stoick's back with his feet them fell to the ground gracefully.

Stoick stumbled forward as he was kicked. Then another force hit his back and pinned him to the ground. His head was pulled up and there was a dagger under his neck. Stoick gasped quietly.

"Yield?" Hiccup asked gently as he sat on Stoick's shoulders, pinning his father to the ground. The crowd died down as they saw Hiccup beat Stoick.

Stoick struggled but only realized that he had no chance against Hiccup. He sighed "Yield"

The gasps were heard an Hiccup grinned softly. He got off Stoick and offered his father a hand before pulling up the chief. Stoick was now very proud of Hiccup. His son had improved so much. He should have seen this sign before. Father and son exchanged a grin and then the crowd cheered Hiccup's name.

On the other hand, Astrid was furious "Cheater" She said as Ruffnut approached her. The two was only teenage girls in the village. So they were best friend "I'm gonna get to him...Soon I will find out what he is up to"

"You don't want to end up like Snotlout, Astrid. There is still another year if you lose" Ruffnut patted her best friend's shoulder with a grin on her face. Astrid still glared at Hiccup even though he noticed.

'That girl have to learn to contain her anger. Unless she will lose by that' Hiccup thought as he turned away from the glaring angry Astrid.

Hiccup was now in the daily flight with Toothless. He had been doing this since he finished with the Dragontongue lesson. Toothless had also brought him to the nest and they barely made it out alive. Hiccup kept that to himself. He knew that the vikings were facing the zero percent chance of completing mission. He should tell them but he couldn't risk his best friend's life too. Why there were so many paths for him? Was he that important? The gods were so unpredictable! He was just a killer for odin's sake! Even Hella didn't want to have his soul...Hiccup meant he had killed many humans!

With that there was a flying letter appeared before him. He told Toothless to stop and then grabbed the letter. It was an invitation from the gods again. The gods had been inviting him to join their council for a while now. Sure Hiccup didn't accept it and he was already busy with keeping his secret and spending time with his father. And even worrying about the nest. He could be really careless with the gods.

"Hiccup what's that?" Toothless asked with curiosity in his voice.

"The gods...invited me to join them. They have been doing this for a while now. But I'm busy and I don't want to be in the council" Hiccup said and sighed as he put the letter in his vest as they went back flying.

"I used to be invited for a while too. But I refused. I'm a free spirit!" Toothless crooned.

"We are alike, Buddy" Hiccup said and laughed.

"Nuh uh. I'm dragon, You're human" Toothless said.

"I didn't mean it like that dumb dragon" Hiccup said.
