~Percy's PoV~

I woke with a start to a loud beeping noise. No matter how many times I had woken up to the alarm clock I could never get used to it. I sat up and sleepily gazed around the room. Grover like me had just been awoken by the alarm clock. I pushed myself off the bed and grabbed some clothes and headed into the shower. 

After a brisk shower, I got dressed, grabbed the Rubiks Cube from the desk, and went into the hallway. With me having around 45 minutes I began to jog towards the classroom until I got a pop-up.

Bing!

Skill Leveled Up!

Running Level: 2

Current Max Speed: 13 MPH

Current Max Duration of Max Speed: 15 Minutes (Can cause Muscle Exhaustion if exceeded.)

With my plan for leveling up having worked, I stopped jogging as I neared the building. We were meant to meet outside when we were ready to go. I had arrived 32 minutes before we were planning on going so I just sat there on the steps. Pulling out the Rubiks Cube and started to just twist and turn it to see if I could get the colors to match up. 

~Line-Break~

After 20 minutes of me trying to solve the Cube, Mr. Brunner finally showed up wheeling down the handicapped ramp. At this point, my Wis. stat had gone up by 2 and I had gotten 4 color faces to match, though that didn't mean much since you still had to move them all to get to all 6 sides to be their respective colors. 

All Mr. Brunner did to acknowledge my presence was nod. It was a gesture that was easy enough to return. I noticed that after a little bit he seemed to be paranoid and was constantly glancing around. His paranoia got me a little spooked as well. With one of my teachers being a literal monster from the Greek version of Hell. 

After sitting on the steps a couple more people started to show up. Most kids just sat with each other and talked, some others just stood alone, I kinda felt bad for them because I was once in their situation, but Grover came along and became my good friend. After scanning the crowd for a little I noticed Grover waving his hand at me. I sat up and walked towards him. 

"Hey Percy, You ready for the trip to the museum?" His small talk question seemed like it was laced with a large amount of nervousness. "Doesn't seem that exciting" I replied. He, like Mr. Brunner, was constantly looking around and looking all around terrified. Though I probably would be too if I didn't have 'Gamer's Mind' to keep me calm and collected. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Mrs. Dodds or Old Hag as I had begun to call her, was staring at me and Grover with an intense glare. 

After we all started to climb into the bus and set up a ramp for Mr. Brunner, we were finally ready to head off to the museum. 

~Line-Break~

After we had arrived we began to disembark. Gathering up into one big group had taken us much longer than expected and then we got to tour around the museum. Walking up the steps into the museum was something like what I would have imagined was like walking into an old temple in Greece when it was still a young country. Glancing around I could catch glimpses of old paintings and marble statues. 

The group eventually got to a painting of Kronos swallowing his children after his terror of the prophecy coming true. Mr. Brunner had asked us a question about what the painting was.

"Isn't it the painting of Kronos consuming his children after he heard a prophecy of his children overtaking his throne?"

"Quite correct Mr. Jackson." He had spouted off some other knowledge about Kronos and him eating his kids and all that. I stopped paying attention when we started to leave that exhibit. I noticed some other statues of heroes like Heracles, Theseus, and my personal favorite, Achilles, What did you expect? Me to prefer my namesake? Then that's just being too full of yourself. 

I sat down on the edge of the fountain with Grover eating our lunches after the tour. I saw Nancy Bobofit approach us with her goons. She just walked up to Grover and dumped her half-eaten disgusting lunch. I felt a rage build up inside of me because of all of the things she had gotten away with, Bullying and stealing were nothing to be proud of. Losing most control I used some of my 'Water Manipulation' not caring about the nearby witnesses. The water behind me practically lept out and dragged her in. 

I sat up and spun around seeing her completely soaked and sputtering out water. I turned around and saw Mrs. Dodds on top of the stairs glaring down at me. "Percy pushed me!" Nancy screamed behind my back. I saw Mrs. Dodds grow an evil smirk across her lips. She approached me and said "Now follow me, Honey" It seemed like such a huge taunt. "It was me who pushed Nancy in," Grover yelled out behind me. 

"Afraid not honey," The old hag said. "Don't worry G-Man I got this," I said as I looked back at Grover. Though if his nervous expression and twiddling with his fingers was anything to go by it was most definitely not fine. 

Alecto/Mrs. Dodds had led me deeper into the museum. We stopped in a Greek exhibit. She stopped suddenly and turned around. 

"Where is it?" She hissed out. "I don't know what you're talking about," I responded. That didn't seem to be the right answer though because she started to transform into her monster form. But even with how much I could read on her stats it was still very surprising. Her body became thinner and frailer, her eyes turned blood red, Her nails elongated and grew sharper, Her teeth were becoming sharper as well, and her face became more wrinkled and disgusting. 

"Don't play dumb with me boy!" She yelled out. I however just backed away. She lunged at me and I had barely enough time to roll out of the way. I started looking around for anyone that could possibly see me. I was glad to see nobody until when I turned back to Mrs. Dodds, Mr. Brunner was behind her at the entrance to the exhibit we were in. 

"Ho, Percy" He called out and tossed something from his hands towards me. I caught it and recognized it as Riptide. Already being familiar with the sword I uncapped it and swung it right at Mrs. Dodds. She, in a last-ditch effort, swung her clawed hands at me. The effort was in vain though because she disintegrated into dust the moment the sword got half-way through her stomach. 

I looked at the sword in my hands and pressed the cap at the tip of the sword, causing it to shrink back into its pen form. 

Bing!
