Chapter One:

Percy frightens a teacher who nobody likes and nobody cares

Percy would be lying that he never wanted to be a demigod instead of living a mortal life like all other people, but would soon rethink about it. In fact, he would not have thought of any of this if he had not been on a school excursion to a natural history museum.

And at least Professor Firenze Brunners was responsible for the students and the only Yancy Academy teacher who did not want to kill Percy or brainwash. In front of a Greek statue, Mr. Brunners asked:

"Can anyone tell me what this obviously fake statue, created in the eighteenth century, is trying to represent?"

Almost all the students were distracting with their cell phones, except Percy made the mistake of staring at the statue, which showed a giant man eating something that vaguely looked like tiny humans. Percy pondered for a moment and said,

"That's a titan devouring humans!"

Thunder was heard and Brunners arched an eyebrow:

"Yes, this is a titan, but who is this titan? And if I were you, I would not call these little men human if I wanted to live for a long time ..."

"I'm not sure; it looks like a stupid titan devouring a stupid legion of reconnaissance legion."

After a brief moment of silence, there was one more bang. Mr. Brunners corrected:

"No, Jackson. Not that kind of titan ..."

"Mr. Brunners, you impostor, we were looking for you!"

They all turned to see Mrs. Dodds with a police woman and a nurse holding a straight jacket for some reason. Mr. Brunners does not seem surprised:

"You should be looking in the mirror, your megera! In fact I do not know why I did not get rid of you sooner, but let me dispense my class out of the museum!"

Percy knew that Mr. Brunners liked to swear in Latin so no one understood and it was something like vixen, but he would also laugh at a figure in Greek mythology that he did not remember. Maybe Megara, the wife of Hercules?

The cop frowned and looked at Mr. Dodds.

"Did he call you Megaera? If you were going to use my real name, why did I have to be Meg? "

"It's better than Tis, just because we can not think of anything that looks like Tisphone," the nurse complained.

"Stop we are the benevolent ones for a reason! We have to do the dirty work of the gods who do not want to bother with every human or inconvenient centaur who irritates them!"

Then Mr. Brunners nodded, winking at Mr. Tumnus, who really was a colleague of Percy's called Grover Tumnus, but he seemed old enough to be an early-career teacher. For some reason Grover gnawed his nails looking startled at the three women approaching and exclaimed,

"Yes, we have to go the pack right now, come with me Percy!"

The other students paid no attention to the women, but followed Brunners' orders as they gazed distractedly at the cell phone, commenting on how bored they were. Except for Percy because his cell phone had been stolen by Nancy Bobofit, self-declared as most popular kleptomaniac of New York.

They were up to an open courtyard of the museum, next to a convenient fountain. Grover looked away and murmured to Percy,

"Are you a son of Adam?"

"What!?"

"It's rhetoric! Do not you know the reference? You really need to understand the reference, to prove that you are a demigod enough enough for me not to worry about those crazy old women! "

Before Percy could process what Grover said, he heard Nancy shout,

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is my hundredth video showing my latest robbery in the face of this too stupid victim to fight back!"

Nancy was filming Percy and Grover as she extended Percy's stolen cell phone, but the position made the phone block the camera's sights. Percy complained:

"You know, maybe you could be a really competent thief if you did not shoot your crimes! And give me back my cell phone! "

"Hey, have you stolen anything here? I'm the professional thief here and I demand respect from your ... ".

Nancy was overturned by a spurt of water, which emerged from the spring. Although she was in a good position to realize this, she had already decided that that week, Percy would be guilty of everything. "Hey, I get attacked by Percy because I'm a bully who stole his cell phone!"

No one paid attention, so Nancy quickly wrote a text on the stolen cell phone and they all screamed in amazement, but just glanced sideways at Percy and Grover, then quickly re-typed messages about what they saw.

"Percy Jackson! I demand you to come with me now! "Mrs. Dodds exclaimed at the top of the steps to the museum.

She had no glasses on, her hair untied, and there was a small cut on her chin as if she'd gotten into a fight. Percy sighed,

"Well, I think I'm going to be kicked out of school just like it's since kindergarten. Can I go to my house right now? "

"Yeah, let's get out of here as fast as possible from here, away from this monster and straight to the safety of ..." Grover exclaimed, but then closed his mouth as if he had said too much.

"First, I am a minor deity who serves the lord of darkness, not a random monster. And I know you're a satyr, but I'll guarantee your expulsion from this school, since you're so fond of playing student! "Mrs. Dodds spoke, her eyes widening, creating fangs and feathers in her arms.

"Hey, we should not reveal ourselves to mortals, that violates the secrecy rule of the demigod world!" Grover protested.

"This is the law of the Olympians, not of my beloved Dark Lord who has no throne in Olympus! Moreover, the mist and stubbornness of mortals aid in our disguise! "

"Well, then I will not die for challenging you! Percy stay with me ... Percy? "

Percy, accustomed to running away from kindergarten, was already a few feet away from this strange situation, but Mrs. Dodds flew over Percy, grabbing the collar of his shirt and pulling her into the museum.

They flew over Mrs. Brunners who were lying on the ground, but for some reason their feet had grown in size as the other two women kicked him as they flew hysterically. Percy did not have time to process what was happening and was thrown into another connivingly empty room. Mrs. Dodds exclaimed as she flew:

"Give back the invisibility helm of the Lord of Darkness and I'll kill you a little less painfully!"

"Helm of Invisibility?"

Mrs. Dodds sighed.

"Of course, besides stealing from the Dark Lord, he does not even know the name of it. If you belonged to Zeus, Poseidon or any other Olympian, you would remember! But no, who cares about the invisible helmet of the dark lord, even if it was you who stole it? Or can you at least admit it to the lightning bolt of Zeus? "

"Lightning of Zeus? What are you talking about?"

"Stop playing the fool, or I'll have to do it the funniest way!" Mrs. Dodds smirked, showing her fangs.

"You mean the hard way?"

Mr. Brunners trotted in as he held a pen and shouted,

"Jackson, ignore the strange things and just open that pen that's really a sword and use it to kill this monster, who really is a minor deity."

Percy could not help but notice how strange it was, but Mrs. Dodds replied:

"You again? In fact, why are you protecting these demigods instead of a random camper? And why are you already delivering this special sword of all things? You do not see Hades coming here personally to threaten him! "

Mrs. Brunners grimaced:

"You talk too much to my taste! Jackson, watch a demonstration! "

In the meantime, Tisphone and Megaera flew in as they held Grover and passed over Brunners who quickly hit both with their sword, causing them to drop Grover, who jumped on some statues like a mountain goat. The two flew hysterically and went to meet Mrs. Dodds.

Brunners threw the sword, managing to hit all three and fall at Percy's feet. But as soon as he took the sword, the three women seemed to be turning into golden liquor although it still managed to fly. Megaera complained:

"That's not fair, only we can hurt people!"

"Let the lord of darkness know that, you little thief! And you too, you stupid horse! "Tisphone whined.

"Enough, the only reason we have difficulty killing a simple demigod is because of Fates's will, but at least we can deliver the warning! And by the way, my name is Alecto! Remember that, your thief! "Alectus quickly flew out the window, along with the sisters, though they took even more giving because the window was closed.

Percy blinked trying to process what he had just seen, then turned and saw Grover helping Mr. Brunners sit in the wheelchair. Percy wasted no time:

"What just happened?"

"Happen what? I have not jumped on the statues like a mountain goat, especially since I have difficulty walking and need help from that crutch! "Grover flushed.

"And how did you help Mr. Brunners sit in a wheelchair without the help of the crutch? Anyway, did you guys see what happened to Mrs. Dodds? "

"Do not worry Jackson, the important thing is that I'm already in my wheelchair. And do not worry about this imaginary bird woman you just told me. "

"I never said I saw this and if I'm wondering, how can you guess that? And where did that sword pen come from that you threw for me? Hey, she was right in my hand! "

Suddenly a blond, cheerful woman came in and greeted Mr. Brunners.

"Where were you? My name is Mrs. Kerr, I've been an Algebra teacher since the beginning of the year! There is not, there was not and there will never be a Mrs. Dodds, especially if she had become a monstrous bird! "

"Hey, I've never seen you before! What if they do not believe me, why do not they look at the security cameras or something? "

Mrs. Kerr shrugged, approached Mrs. Brunners, and whispered in his ear:

"Remember the deal, I will help you in this deception and you will teach the campers about the wonderful Apate, goddess of fraud, otherwise I will make you regret it!"

"All right, Mrs. Apate ... I mean, Mrs. Kerr!" Mr. Brunner rushed, "Jackson, Tumnus! It's late, we're going back to Academy Yancy and pretending nothing strange happened here! Not that someone normal would believe anyway. "

"You're a shame to all fraudulent, Mr. Brunners!"

Then everyone returned to Academy Yancy while Grover tried to persuade Percy that nothing strange happened.
