She leads us inside and gets us comfortable. I then once again take an hour to explain things to her but I leave out the recent part about the mysterious man. "That bitch I trusted her and told my secret name. I'm going to have to take it back or she will be able to control me with the right spells."
"Wow out of all this that's what you get. So we are going to need a place to stay and I was hoping to become an initiate here. I will need all the help I will get. Same with Piper."
Now
She stares at me shocked, "Percy you can stay here as long as you like, but about you and her being a initiate I will have to ask uncle Amos about it. You'll are Greeks and it would be dangerous you know it. If Amos deems it safe you can but otherwise I'm sorry." I nod at her. She is right being a Greek and using Egyptian magic is dangerous. When Setne was using it, it just felt wrong fundamentally. I hope with us that's not the case. "So what do we do now?"
She thinks for sometime and then looks defeated as she can't think of anything "I don't know I can't think of anything"
I grin at her "How about combat training that doesn't count as magic right. We can do that and before that you can give us a tour of the... lets call it training regime, in case we get cleared to do magic."
She smiles and says "Why not? No harm in showing you stuff. Let the Greeks be amazed by how cool we are."
"We will see how cool you are." With that she leads us to the first room where people were learning to host gods. As we enter the room I activate my Sharingan and cover it up with the Mist to avoid suspicion. What I see amazes me. It's like they have two different life forces, well I guess they do. Wow this is just amazing! I'm guessing the bigger life force is of the gods but I thought it would be bigger. So I asked Sadie "When you host a god do you host the whole god or only some part of it?"
She looks at me surprised "Well it really depends on thing these initiates are just hosting a tiny amount of the god" well that explains it "but when you become the Eye of the god you host the whole god all of his essence you can say but that power is too much you can loose control of yourself." I nod at her. Piper looks at me unquestioningly and I mouth her later as I deactivate my sharingan.
The next up was the room for practising magic, basic magic to be specific. It was still amazing. They summoned or created things by writing down words on what is called papyrus. Sadie explained to me that it's stored magic like we had used while fighting Setne. This stuff is really cool. You could use a lot of magic if you practised and increased your life force. All the next room were advanced magic rooms each for one of the five elements and believe it or not cheese was the fifth the other four are of course air water fire and earth. I activated my sharingan as we entered the fire room. The first person I saw was consuming her life force at an alarming rate I was kind of worked "Is she using a high level magic spell?" I ask Sadie as I point out to the person. She replies "most probably yeah, she is not a rookie and really good at using magic too. That look like a very high level spell but I can't be sure, Zia is the fire expert." I nod again thank god I thought she was doing something wrong and was going to risk her life.
Sadie's pov
I was kind of surprised when Percy keep pointing out people doing high level stuff worriedly as if he though they were in danger. Well they were in potential danger of course as if you cast the spell wrong you could end up damaging your self. It was like Percy knew they were using high level stuff or were doing it wrong, that can't be right though? Right? He is new to this stuff I haven't even though him anything. At last we reached the combat training room and Percy grinned ear to ear. Wow he is rather excited about this. "Give me five of your best fighters. I'll take them all at the same time" he smirks at me.
"Cocky much, what makes you think you can do that. Even Carter can only take on only three of the best." He think he is so great, last time he wasn't so egoistic.
"Oh who cares if I win it or not, I just want a good fight. I don't care if I loose." Ah there he is, the humble guy who is not looking to boast
"But be warned I had defeated Carter the first time I had met him" oh this is seriously good material. I can tease Carter with this.
"Well its your own doom." I call forward five of our best to face him.
"Initiates this is Percy Jackson, he says he can beat the five of our best. Will we let him get away with that or will we show how wrong he is" they all cheer " So 5 of the best come forward and arm yourself to face him.
The 5 of them arm themselves and then turn towards Percy to see him without a sword or any other weapon "Already decided to surrender?" one of the initiate asks.
Percy smirks at him "I don't have a sword any more but I don't need one to beat you guys. I'll just take one of you guy's sword."
I call out to him "You have become way to cocky what has happened to you?"
Piper answers for him "It's not cockiness if you know you are going to win. Just wait and watch his combat skills are unmatched." This is going to be fun. I turn towards them and for a second I see Percy's eyes flicker he keeps eyeing his opponents. I start the match. When the first guy attacks him, Percy doges him as if he knew what was going to happen. He hits the opponent on the back and turns to the second one his eyes moving constantly. The second guy stood no chance as Percy gets into his weak spot and disarm him and makes his opponents blade his own, he then knocks him out with the hilt if the blade. To my surprise he drops the blade as he doges two strikes at once as his opponents attack each other instead of him. There is another one who is just standing there watching things. He then suddenly starts fighting another initiate to my surprise. What the heck is going on it's not even been half a minute and Percy has defeated two people. He quickly defeats the third by catching him off guard. Percy and the other initiate double team the one remaining guy who is defeated in literally five seconds by Percy without actually having to need the second guy. The only initiate standing is defeated within another five seconds, he did fight back against Percy though. First he fights for Percy and then he fights against him its confusing. All five initiate are lying down knocked out. The fight didn't even last a whole minute. "You might want to close you mouth, might catch flies." He laughs at me and joins Piper's side.
"So that's the extent of my abilities now. I should go around the world learning different fighting styles. What do you say Pipes?"
She replies "I'm with you where ever you are headed. I thought I already told you that."
I cut in their conversation "You just defeated the five of our best initiates and your not going to boast or anything?"
He looks offended "I thought you would know I am not the bragging type. I didn't know the extent of my skills so I wanted to check it. I didn't do this to brag or anything. By the way that guy didn't know that he fought for me. I have a few magic tricks up my sleeve too you know. " I knew he was the humble kind but this just too much. He has done something I thought impossible our type impossible not the usual kind and yet he doesn't want to boast. He must have seen me staring at him "Well let's just say I was blessed to be excellent in combat by someone very powerful don't know who it was thought. This would be playing with them when I reach the full potential of the blessing." he say. I didn't know he had become this good. Wow!
Percy's pov
The illusionary technique( AN: I'm just going to call it genjutsu, it's shorter too.) actually worked, I didn't expect myself to be able to do it so well without any practise but oh well I guess I'm just a natural. This battle was too easy the sharingan is too good, too powerful. I feel kind of exhausted though. I'm going to need to get used to this. Shoud I keep it active the whole time or just later for sometime. "Percy what do you mean full potential of the blessing? I don't understand" came Sadie's voice. I sigh "To be honest even I didn't know I was this good from the start, the blessing must have increased my speed to, I wasn't this fast before. I knew what I could do when I trained and reached the full potential of the blessing, but this is more that I expected, I didn't know I would have been this good even in the start. To be honest this was too easy. I was just playing with them. I was able to predict their every move. I could have defeated them in half the time even without using the trick on that one guy. I just did that to test it out. I could have defeated all of them without actually having to strike if I had used the magic trick. I could have knocked them all out with it, since it's exhausting as I'm new to this and I only wanted to try it out and also check how good my skill were I did what I did." I explain. The whole room is staring at me in some in awe some are looking at me in shock while some are angry and I'm kind of getting nervous, did I do something wrong and offend them or their gods? That definitely wasn't my intention. "Sadie did I do something wrong and offend you guys or your gods? Cause that wasn't my intention. I wouldn't have been able to do this without the blessing you know I and Carter were kind of equals so even I would only have been barely able to defeat three guys. All this attention is making me rather uneasy can we leave we can train in combat later maybe."
Sadie and a lot of other people start laughing "You didn't do anything to offend us Percy, we are just shocked by your skill level. You are trying to take the attention away from yourself and yet you compare yourself with Carter he is the best well after you now. You still are just as dumb as ever it seems." come on, now she has embarrassed me. I went from hotshot to the dumb guy in a matter of seconds.
"Why would you want to practise combat you are already frikkin awesome?" she asks me.
I was going to answer her when Piper chimes in "He knows two styles of sword fighting he wants to learn others so that he can integrate them into the one he developed using the two he knows. In other words he wants to learn your style of combat and mix it with the others be knows to get even better. To be honest he won't take long to learn them."
Sadie nods and then makes us join the group of beginners "If you want to learn you shoud start from the beginning." and then leaves us to practise.

I really was amazed by Percy. I had to inform Carter and Amos about him so I make my way to the first Nome. I opened a portal to Egypt where the 1st nome is and went in. I quickly entered the first nome and made my way to Amos. When I reached the throne room. Amos was talking to Carter about something. I didn't expect Carter to be here, well my lucky day one trip less. I called out to them and Carter asked "Has Percy and his friend arrived yet?"
I nod and start telling his story "You see Percy has been exiled by his gods on false accusations. It started when..." so after half an hour I had told them his story.
Carter looked sorry for him while Amos looked a little suspicious.
"That not why I am here though. Percy has asked to be a initiate at Brooklyn house as he will need all the help he will get when he leaves. So I am here to ask Amos if he could become a initiate with him and his friend being Greeks and all I thought I should ask Amos first."
Amos looks at me and smiles "Well we will see if his story checks out first we will put him in a truth spell used for interrogations and then ask him his story he won't be able to lie wile under the effects of the spell. Then we will have him try a few minor spells to check its nature like does it feel fundamentally wrong like it had when Setne had tried."
I smile at him "Always the cautious one. I'll have you know he has already hosted Nekhbet during that time."
He smiled and replies "Still can't be too sure." Then I leave I still had classes to teach.
