In Chapter Two, Percy decides to ask his teacher, Mr. Brunner, for help with his homework. Outside the teacher’s office, he overhears Mr. Brunner and Percy’s best friend, Grover, discussing Percy himself.
Specifically, Mr. Brunner and Grover are discussing Mrs. Dodds' fight with Percy. Grover refers to the woman as one of the Kindly Ones and seems to be very worried that she appeared in the school. He also seems to be worried about a deadline of some kind.
Mr. Brunner talks about the need to let Percy mature and “enjoy his ignorance” while he can. He goes on to say that the Mist will cause both Percy and the other students to forget what they saw.
Furthermore, Grover sees the attack as a failure on his part, but Mr. Brunner tries to assure him that if there is any blame, it is Mr. Brunner’s.
