Chapter 12

Perseus was sitting on an old wooden chair in the middle of a sandy arena; the trees had lost most of the leaves as winter got closer and closer. He looked at the sky and calculated that it was about 6:30 in the morning, so he still had 30 minutes left before his class started. Chiron had assigned him as the new spear-fighting instructor because of how most of the proficient fighters were or on quest or finishing hunting down the monsters that had followed the 3 demigods from the other day. Not wanting to be wasting any time he started to prepare the class, he activated the magic wooden dummy that was used for training and the spears, which the campers were going to practice with. Once he had everything ready he ate the apple that he had on the chair and activated 2 training dummies to train with until the campers arrived. The wooden dummies had been blessed by several gods and were made so that each time they were injured they would regenerate and if they received any mortal injury the level of skill and strength would increase.

When he activated them the eyes of the wooden dummy came to live in a red color similar to the ones that the monsters from the underground possessed, the body began to take a more refined form and even thought they were made out of wood it had a smooth surface and the muscular body of a top quality sculpture. They each took a spear and a shield and surrounded Perseus

"Start." The moment those words left his mouth the 2 wooden figures started moving, at the beginning they made small circles around him. But then they ran at the same time towards Perseus.

When Perseus saw that they were trying to trap him he grabbed his spear with strength and threw it to the dummy that he had in the front. The spear flew in the air cutting it and it got the dummy in the chest, with so much force that he flew a couple feet back and landed on his back. Using the chance that he got with him flying away, he ran at the other dummy and using his sword he started fighting on hand-to-hand combat against the dummy. The dummy was however not able to keep up with the speed and skill that Perseus had achieved on his travels so he was quickly defeated. When he stabbed the dummy on the heart Perseus sat back into the chair and waited until the dummies would regenerate, when they did he ordered them to go back with the other dummies as the class was about to start. About five minutes later they arrived.

The class was made of about twenty campers and which was mostly Hermes kids or Athena and the kids who had arrived that week; Thalia, Luke and Annabeth were also on it.

"Ok I want you to each chose a partner and start the basic movements of spear and after that you will practice short matches." The campers joined with their friends to start practicing, but unlike usual class they didn't chat with each other. While the other teachers allowed them to talk to each other and take some times a break, Perseus never allowed anyone to rest or talk and if they did then they would had to have a match against him who never went easy even on newbie's.

"You the daughter of Zeus, you will practice with me, the daughter of Athena and the son of Hermes will practice together." He commanded her.

"Why do I have to be with you?" Thalia pouted, not wanting to be with out her friends and with the person who the people in the camp seemed to fear.

"Even if you are not very good, you have more experience on spear fighting than those two, so they would hinder your improvement. And they wouldn't learn much." The logic in his reasoning was obvious, but Thalia was never a person of logic, plus she didn't like how he had said that she was not good at spear fighting.

"Ok but I wont go easy on you." She said out loud and took out her magic shield and her magic spear that was electrified. Perseus raised his eyebrows in surprise, he had heard of it but he had never seen a magic weapon that controlled to some extend the elements, however he knew that weapon would be useless if the one who used that weapon was unable to use it well.

"Start the practice! I guess you know the basics of spear fighting so we wont be doing that part, we will start with a simple match." Thalia smiled at the idea of not having to do the basics as everybody else, and to be able to make Perseus regret the words about how she didn't know how to use a spear.

She waited for Perseus to take his shield and spear but he only took a spear.

"Aren't you going to take a shield?" While Perseus always wanted to end things early and take the biggest precaution for things, he decided that he wanted to show the daughter of Zeus, that without a doubt was as arrogant as his father, that he was the strongest and that she wasn't as strong as she thought.

"I wont been needing it, it would just be a dead weight." When she heard the words it was as far as her arrogance could take, she took the stance for fighting that she always used to fight with unknowingly releasing small electric sparks on the air with her powers.

Perseus waited for her to come to him, when she did with her shield protecting her and her spear raised at about Perseus chest he started moving. First he dodged the spear that passed three centimeters from his chest, next he slashed with the blunt part of his spear the shield of Thalia with enough force that she was sent flying. When she tried to regain her feet from being sent flying she noticed a cold solid feeling on her throat, looking to see what it was she saw the blade of the spear.

"That was faster than I thought." Thalia couldn't believe that she had been defeated so fast and easily, that boy was a monster. "Lets start again, and this time do it better."

After 1 hour and thirty minutes the spear practice finished. Thalia had been beaten by Perseus every single time thy fought, the other campers only had to have a short match against him which they obviously lost. However the campers that had gone to hunt down the monsters on the woods came back for the day, and it was decided that they would have a meeting to report to the cabin counselors what had happened, however Thalia and Perseus were also there, the later one because he had outside information of the camp and had seen the monsters when they were coming.

The meeting room for the counselors was a big place, on the middle there was a table tennis, around it there was 14 tables with two of them empty because the Poseidon and Hera cabin had no campers. The other chairs were full of other campers with Chiron being the only one that wasn't a camper and Perseus the only that wasn't a cabin leader.

"Ok so lets start this meeting, how many monsters have we killed today?" Asked Chiron on his wheel chair while drinking hot chocolate.

"We have killed about 100 today but we don't think that was much of the army, also the monsters we fought weren't strong, so we think that there is still a large number of stronger monsters." The Athena cabin leader said, after that the Ares cabin counselor, Alec, noticed the races of monsters they fought and the Apollo leader, Lee, told the injuries that they had suffered.

"Perseus how many monsters do you guess there are left from what you saw?" All the eyes were then directed to the guest on the table who was drinking a cup of tea.

"Well, I would say there was about 600, but the monsters that I saw were far stronger than the ones that Alec mentioned. So we are still need to kill many other."

"Perseus tomorrow you will take care of the spear training too, but after that I want you to go out of the camp and help hunt down the monsters. If after one week there is still monsters left outside or if we suffered deaths, then I will request the hunters of Artemis to come and aid us." Most of the counselors rose from their chairs and started yelling and complaining, Chiron who was already tired and didn't want to open another argue raised his hand to shush them.

"My decision is final, if you don't want the hunters to come then finish the monsters before 7 days. Meeting adjourned!" Once he said that all the campers rose from the chairs and went to their respective cabins, all except Perseus who went to a room on the big house that had been decided would be the place he would be staying, since the Hermes cabin could no longer take any camper and Perseus and Chiron had reached an agreement were he could travel the country if in return he helped any satyr or demigod he found on his travels, Chiron had decided to let Perseus have his own room on the big house.

"Percy we need to talk." Chiron and the campers had decided to call him by Percy; it was shorter and easier to remember, but he only called him Percy when they were alone.

"I need you to take care of the three demigods that arrived today, Zeus doesn't want anything happening to her daughter with her being the best chance to be the child of the prophecy, and him getting the honor of one of his children saving Olympus. And Hermes and Athena seem to care a lot about their respective children." Chiron waited for Perseus answer, however Perseus kept drinking his cup of tea and until he finished he didn't move his eyes from the cup.

"Chiron, you know I have a deep respect towards you. You showed me the life of a demigod and for that I am deeply thankful." Chiron thought those words meant that Perseus had agreed on looking after the three young demigods, so he moved his wheel chair towards the door. "But. I will never be the babysitter of three arrogant spoiled children, and I will not help any of those gods. For the respect that I have for you I will forget this Chiron, however. Don't dare ask me to lose my time on a worthless cause like that ever again." The words left his mouth not in an aggressive tone, but as one of a teacher or father who told a child something that he had already said. Chiron froze on his wheel chair, for one moment he had sensed a powerful and evil being looking at him, what he didn't know was that the feeling came out of Perseus when he sprouted a small portion of his aura.

He was wondering so much about that misters power that he didn't feel Perseus leaving the room.
