3.2 Peace

"Now then, what will you do, Kiya?"

Those words replayed in Kali's head, though the question wasn't answered. She had to keep some of her abilities hidden so she wouldn't be recognized, Kali was sure every S-Rank in the world knew who she was.

"Ice Sorcery." Kali muttered with her palms pressed together. "The fluidity of frost."

Kali felt one-third of her magic depleted as the temperature started to drop at a rapid rate.

Bluenote immediately noticed that something was wrong, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and had goosebumps all over his arm. While he was casting his spell, he glanced over at Kali who seemed to be in deep concentration.

At that moment, he felt like he needed to stop whatever Kali was doing or else he would regret it. However, he couldn't move because of the spell he was casting.

'It doesn't matter! Her spell won't be as strong as mine!'

As Kali's spell formed, a hint of ice blue color could be seen on her eyes. After glowing for a split second, it disappeared, and small blue particles appeared in the air.

They were drawn towards the Black Hole which was good for Kali, she needed every single particle that was produced to be inside the black hole. After all, she was going to explode it from the inside.

No magic cannot be countered, as long as the magic one is countering is stronger than the other.

That was one of the laws of magic.

"Tempest Creation."

The particles that were being drawn towards the Black Hole started to change shape, they were now small shards of ice that were entering the Black Hole.

Bluenote felt all of his worries away when he saw the shards of ice enter his spell.

"Look at that! Your magic is useless against my Black Hole! Face reality! You can't win!" Bluenote shouted.

Kali didn't spare a glance at him, she knew his words would soon bite back at him later.

"Later huh?" Kali said to herself before laughing. "Let's start the fun now!"

Inside the black hole, thousands of small shards of ice could be seen growing in size at a rapid rate.

Bluenote felt like his Black Hole suddenly got heavier and more difficult to control. He tried stabilizing it by pouring more magic and manipulating it but it was no use. It was slowly going out of his control.

"You! What did you do?!" Bluenote exclaimed.

Kiya smiled at Bluenote and said, "I simply casted a spell inside your black hole. Remember this, whatever magic is stronger counters the other."

"Huh?"

"This is my example to you."

The Black Hole Bluenote was casting suddenly increased in size, the purple sphere started shaking uncontrollably as Bluenote lost control of the sphere.

"What did you do?!"

"Nothing, I'm just going to destroy that little Black Hole of yours. I can't have it suck everything up, you know? The environment around here is precious."

"You-"

Before Bluenote could continue what he was about to say, he was forced back by the strong pressure of wind that the sphere exerted. Before, it drew things in, but now it was kicking things out.

"Now!' Kali shouted as she performed a few hand signs with one hand. "Corrupt."

Ice that took the shape of a sphere covered the Black Hole. Normally, it would be sucked in, but Kali's magic was stronger so it didn't happen.

"Swallow."

The sphere of ice grew in size, then shrunk before disappearing and taking the black hole along with it. The sight was so mesmerizing that they both didn't realize how cold it had gotten. Ice was starting to form on the trees and there was snow falling from the sky.

"Once again, no matter how strong your magic is, it'll be countered if my magic is stronger." Kali said with a smile.

Bluenote couldn't believe it, how could his strongest spell shatter so easily? It just wasn't possible in his eyes, after all the training he went through to become strong.

"After everything I've gone through! Even joining Grimoire Heart! It's still not enough?!" Bluenote shouted.

"Oi, oi, oi, surely he's not going crazy right?" Kali muttered to herself. "Though, it's understandable."

Having one of your strongest spells that you worked on for many years being countered easily in front of you would be a hard reality to accept.

A huge weight appeared on Kali's shoulders, her feet sunk into the ground due to the pressure. When she glanced up, she saw Bluenote's spell "Fall" casted throughout the entire area.

"Ah, this is bad." Kali said as she thought of the animals in the area. If this went on any longer, they would be in immediate danger. "Well, it seems Bluenote has lost his mind, and I'll have to take this seriously."

Kali glanced to her side and saw that the trees were already being crushed, it was only a matter of time before most of the forest was crushed. Truly, Gravity Magic was powerful.

"Heaven's Magic." Kali said. "Bring peace upon this day, let negativity disappear, and let joy overflow."

A bright light appeared on Kali's palm, it stayed motionless for a moment before levitating into the air. The Gravity Magic seemed to have no effect on the small sphere of light.

As if the sun shone on her eyes, a bright light flashed, and filled Kali's peripheral vision with white. Though it was safe, it wouldn't do any harm to one's eyesight.

As the light dimmed, Kali felt the weight on her shoulders disappear.

Heaven's Magic, a type of magic that brings peace when something is heavily influenced by something evil. The spell only worked because Bluenote was influenced by anger and disappointment which were emotions related to evil. If it wasn't, Heaven's Magic wouldn't have worked since it wasn't a spell negation spell.

Kali looked around to check on her surroundings again, although there was damage, it was minimized as much as possible. Kali let out a sigh of relief and glanced over at Bluenote.

"Have you calmed down now?"
