Chapter thirty three: mythical monsters

"He's here." Katsuki growled to Aizawa.

Your long haired teacher stood slowly from his seat. His cautious eyes scanning the crowd. "Did he see you two?" Aizawa tapped his fingers against the tablecloth anxiously.

"Yeah...he saw us." You quietly said.

Perry ruffled her feathers anxiously and also rose from her position on her bench. She clenched her fists in determination and stepped towards the crowd of mythic guests in an attempt to find the villain.

Aizawa pulled her back by her shoulders and shook his head at her. They were in a dangerous position.

Just as Katsuki was about to speak to you, the sound of a microphone being adjusted rung out across the crowd. Making all guests quieten down.

Perrys hooves nervously scraped against the floor of the hall as everyone in the room turned to face the stage. You could see the band begin to clear away from their instruments and join the crowd. They were also mythic quirk holders and you could see each piece of silver that they were wearing.

The tall, horned woman that greeted you at the door was adjusting the microphone to her height. "Welcome everyone to the seventy sixth mythic quirk holders gathering!" Light clapping ripples through the crowd. You looked up to Katsuki who was scanning the crowd with a scowl. Aizawa was stood on the other side of you, he was facing the stage but you could see his eyes darting around.

The horned woman smiled and held her arm out to the side of the stage. "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the host of this years gathering!" The crowd clapped louder, some cheers erupting from the back. Perry and Aizawa clapped slowly. your teacher caught your glance as he pushed through the crowd towards the entrance of the room.

You were about to follow him when Katsuki grabbed your wrist. He leaned down to talk to you, still looking around the room of applauding party guests. "He's probably going to get our hero costumes. He bought them for when that snaky bastard shows up. My guess is, things are about to get serious."

You tried to talk back but your eyes caught something that sent a chill around your whole body, Katsuki felt your arm shiver under his grip and he followed your line of sight. A long serpent tail whipped around in the far corner doorway, making its way out of the hall.

The applause died down. You, Katsuki, Perry, and Aizawa, who had just returned with the three briefcases, looked towards the stage to see the mysterious party host.

The woman who stood in front of you set you yet again in a state of discomfort. She wore dark shades over her eyes and held a cane in her hand, she appeared to be blind. Her skin was a dark green and snakes emerged from her head in place of where hair should be, they lashed around her shoulders, hissing at the horned woman as she scurried off the stage.

Katsuki looked down at you, he also seemed unnerved.
"This year is a bit different to all our other gatherings." The  snake haired woman on the stage spoke. "Our good friend Perry's family have hosted these gathering for seventy five years. However this year, I offered to host to give perry a chance to catch her breath."

The crowd laughed lightly and gave a round of applause for Perry's commitment to the community. She smiled back nervously, trying to look as relaxed as possible.

"We assume you all received your gifts of silver. We spared no expense to ensure that everything was up to standards."

"We?" You mumbled to yourself, your suspicions fluttering around your stomach yet again.

The medusa spoke again "I also believe we have a new member of our community... someone very special. Is she here? Would Y/n L/n be able to join me on stage?"
