Here's that chapter I promised. I hope you enjoy and plz read and review they give me motivation.
(Updated: Sorry this isn't another chapter but I was looking through my reviews and one of you gave a brilliant suggestion. This suggestion was from Robeomega, and they suggested that I add another class called Navigation. I thought it was a great idea so as you can see I updated this chapter and I wanted to give credit to the one who came up with this idea. Thank you for your suggestion and if any of you have suggestions or tips for me just let me know in the reviews or pm. Alright I think I've typed or talked or whatever long enough. Enjoy the chapter!)

I looked at Hiccup and gave him a nervous smile before going into the crowd of awestruck students. I could hear their jealous murmurs as they gossiped about what they had just witnessed. Wether they knew I could hear them or not I wasn't sure. I went to very back trying to make myself look as invisible as possible.
Kari came up to me still looking surprised. "I you are the coolest person I know!" She exclaimed excitedly. I smiled at her nervously not used to the attention. "Glad you think so, but it seems that everyone else doesn't." I answered quietly still receive angry glares. "Don't pay them any attention. There just jealous that you got to ride Toothless and they didn't." Before I could reply to her statement the headmaster walked in front of the students and began a short speech.
"Welcome students to the School of Dragons!" All of the students cheered until he put up a hand to calm them down. "I can see that all of you are excited. Here at the school you will learn from teachers that are Berk's finest. You will be taking five main classes as well as a few sub-classes. Those classes are: Survival Basics, Botany 101, Alchemy for beginners, Navigation, and Basics to Flying. You will also learn fishing, dragon fighting, and combat. Now before we can send you to choose your dragons we must first sort you into your dragon class. You will be sorted into one of seven classes which include: the Stoker class, the Boulder class, the Tracker class, the Sharp class, the Tidal class, The Mystery class, and the Strike class." He paused letting us all think about what he said before continuing.
"The way sort you is by giving a small quiz. After we announce your sorted class's you will placed into your dragon class dormitories. Tomorrow you will be taken to the hatchery to be asked a few questions and we will give a suggestion of which dragon you should pick, but the choice is yours. After that you will be able to choose your dragon." He clapped his hands and spoke in a louder volume,"Now let the sorting begin. Everyone into the Great Hall! All of the your fellow students have waited long enough." We all started gathering into the Great Hall where all of the other students were waiting.
Instead of sitting with the other students we sat at a long empty table where there was a paper with some questions and charcoal pencils. After everyone was seated we began our quizzes. The quiz was only eight questions and they were all fairly simple. The quiz was built like a personality quiz which seemed pretty logical. After about ten mintues everyone was finished with there quiz including me. Hiccup and Astrid came around and picked them up. Once Hiccup got to me he gave an encourage smile be foreign picking up my quiz and moving on.
A few minutes later all the quizzes were picked up and given to the headmaster, but Hiccup kept end half as they disappeared to the upstairs level of the Great Hall. They didn't return for another twenty mintues. They directed up to the back of the hall were there was three chairs on a higher level seated at them were two teachers while the one in the middle remained empty. Hiccup came in front of the crowed and began to speak.
"The time has finally come for you to be sorted. I have a list of all of your names and will call you up one by one and you will be given a badge that has the symbol of your class and then you will sit with the students of the same class." He cleared his throat and opened up a book as he started announcing the names and sorting them. "Kari Borg." I heard her called. She walked up the steeps slowly anxiety clear on her face. Hiccup smiled at her gently before looking down the book and looking back up again excitement plastered on his face. "Sharp class!"I saw her anxiety wash away as she walked off the stage with a Sharp class badge and new found confidence. She walked towards me wishing me luck obey ore sitting with the other sharp class students.
More names were called and sorted until I was the last person standing. "Vala Hilderend." I stepped and came next to Hiccup. He smiled at me confidently as he looked at the book before looking at me again. He now looked shocked, but then it slowly became excitement before he declared my dragon class. "Strike class!" I looked at him in surprise as he pinned a strike class badge onto my tunic. He patted me on the back while congratulateing me. I smiled still in surprise. I walked back down and went to the strike class table. Compared to the other table it had less students. Which made sense since most Viking would focus and firepower and strength rather than intelligence, but the were was still a lot of us.
I sat back and looked at the raised stage as the headmaster opened his arms. "Welcome to the School of Dragons and my you find great friendship here. Now let us enjoy the feast!" He went back and sat down with the other teachers as everyone else started their conversations. I was welcomed with open arms at the Strike table. They were all very kind and welcoming and the feast was amazing. Their all kinds of assortments of food. There was mutton, chicken, yak meat, lamb stew, fish chowder, etc.
After the feast the head of Strike Class, Hiccup, took all the first years on a tour of the school before showing us to our dormitories. All of the class dormitories were placed according to there dragon class. The Tidal Class dormitories were placed by the sea and the Mystery class dormitories was near the wilderness. The Strike class dormitories was located far away from the school and was not to far from the water fall. It's location gave off the greatest view the sunset. I hadn't realized how beautiful the school was until now.
The dormitories were in crescent moon shape and in the middle of the crescent was a building a little bigger than the others. All the buildings were a dark brown almost black color, with purple lining. Above the doors of the middle building was the symbol of the strike class, a Night Fury. "The middle building is the common room where you read, study, and relax with your peers. All the buildings on the right are the girl's dormitories and the ones on the left are the boy's dormitories. The names will be on the doors and all of your bags will already be in your rooms. If any of you need anything my room is just on the second floor of the common room. I hope all of you have a good time here and I'll see all at sunrise tomorrow for your choosing. Goodluck!" Hiccup went into the common room as all of us dispersed to our dormitories.
My dormitory was at the very end of the building and there was three names on the door. I walked in and saw that the room was about the size of my house. There were three beds placed inside the room. One was right by the door and it was apparntly taken so walked to the second bed across the room. It was taken as well. I went to the final bed that had a window on the right side letting in the last few rays of sunlight. At the head of the first bed was a desk that had a small pack and a few books on top. The second bed had desk at the foot of it that was covered in scattered books, pencils, and ink. My desk was on the left side of the bed I picked up my bags and placed them on the desk chair.
I noticed a small journal with the Strike Class symbol on it. I opened it to the first page were a note was written.
'Here is your school journal where you will record all of discoveries and adventures. Enjoy your time here at the School of Dragons
-the Headmaster'
I closed the book and started unpacking putting all my clothes and armor in a trunk at the foot of my bed. The bed was made a light brown wood, with purple lining and a purple Strike Class symbol on the head board. I decided it was time to get ready for bed so I took off my armor and undid my hair. I put on a long oversized red tunic and kept on my black leggings and light brown boots. Before I went to bed the door opened. I looked up at the door to see two girls walk in.
The first one was taller and had stronger build, she was still very small. She had light blonde hair tied into a braid and icy blue eyes with purple eye decoration on her right eye. She was wearing a brown skirt, light brown leggings, green furred boots, a light green and brown tunic with black armbraclets and black shoulder pads. She was wearing a wooden shield with and odd crest on it that was red and black.
The other one was much shorter standing at four foot seven and had a much smaller build. She had short choppy light brown hair and amber colored eyes. She had on a light brown and blue tunic with a light brown skirt and red leggings and some white and black boats.
"Hey your our other roommate right?" The blonde one asked. I nodded and they both walked up to me as they introduced themselves. "I'm Ragna and this is Thora." They greeted as I introduced myself. "I'm Vala." They both smiled and we started going into an immersive conversation. "I don't mean to be offensive but aren't you a little old to be a first year?" Thora asked she seemed very shy from I what I could tell but she also seemed really sweet I hoped that we could become friends maybe then she'll start to come out her shell.
Ragna laughed softly as she answered her question. "I am but I'm not a first year I'm a third year. You see Hiccup likes to put at least one third year in each dormitory to help the first years adjust and help guid first and second years. So I guess I'm kind of like your counselor in a way." I looked her in admiration as I asked her a question "So does that mean that this is your last year here before you graduate? Does that mean we won't be able to see you next year?" She smiled gently before answering. "Yep. This is my last year. After I graduate I'll be declared an expert rider. And I'll probably join the Berk Guard after that, so I won't see as much defiantly but I'll come visit on the holidays and during the summer."
Me and Thora smiled at her as Thora replied. "We'd like that." Ragna smiled at us before realization hit her and she gave us a smirk. "As your counselor I would advise you to go to sleep. You heard Hiccup you two have to get up early tomorrow. All student are off tomorrow so if you'd like I can take you to the surround islands and introduce to my dragon." I looked at her amusement before asking her another question. "Wait what type of dragon do you have?" She gave a smirk as her eyes danced with mischief. "You'll see tomorrow." Thora and Ragna got ready for bed and blew ou their candles before going to bed.
I looked out my window as the moonlight came into the dark room. I couldn't help but smile as I watched the stars twinkle and the moon shinning brightly. This year would be very interesting indeed.
