And Percy has tricked and outsmarted many enemies, he isn't stupid at all when it comes to fighting. And I never heard of boys being easily tricked by the mist? Was that said in the series?

It's perfectly reasonable to think Chiron taught Percy the mist, since Chiron said to Percy himself that he would. Circe, Medea, & Aphrodite all have said boys are easily manipulated by the mist/charm-speak.
