第十章:雷神日(23)
The Test began.
Toothless didn't do too badly in the early obedience exercises, though he clearly thought it was extremely dull. It was now raining quite hard and Toothless hated the rain. He wanted to go home and relax in front of a nice warm fire.
Fireworm and Killer were "going" and "fetching" as soon as Snotlout and Thuggory commanded, and they were diving and breathing out fire as they did so, just to show off. Fireworm did some fancy acrobatic somersaults that had the crowd screaming and stamping their feet.
"START YOUR HUNTING!" yelled Gobber the Belch.
Every dragon except Toothless flew out to sea.
Toothless flapped back to Hiccup's shoulder.
"T-T-Toothless got a t-t-tummy-aeie," he complained. Hiccup tried not to see his father looking surprised on the sidelines. He tried not to notice the crowd whispering to each other: "That's Stoick's son over there -- no, not the tall one with the skeleton tattoos who looks like a pig, the small skinny one who can't even control his minuscule dragon."
