Chapter 9 - 0.9 The Letter

Kali couldn't help but form a reminiscing smile at the sight of her house. Although it wasn't old, it wasn't modern either. She had requested the design to be where the appearance doesn't change so that she could say "time doesn't change in my house" but the design could only be completed with a tint of her magic.

"Home sweet home." Kali muttered as she used the keys to open the door to her house. The nostalgic aroma entered her house once she entered her house. Kali started looking around to see if anything had changed, and as expected, nothing had changed.

Even the old journal she placed on the desk five years ago was still there, it hasn't moved an inch from where it was placed. Kali was about to check her room before something caught her eye.

"A letter?" Kali muttered as she checked the front and back. However, there was nothing written except her address. "Perhaps their name is written inside?"

Kali opened the letter and took out a piece of paper. Before she read what was written, she looked for the names but to no avail, she couldn't find any except for her own name.

"Since I just got home, I'll finish tidying everything up first before I read the letter." Kali said as she started cleaning her house.

After a few hours, she was done.

"Finally!" Kali exclaimed tiredly. "Although I do want to look at the letter, I also want to sleep. Eh, I'll look at it when I wake up."

If not for the letter being on her desk when she woke up, Kali would've forgotten about it by now.

"Now then, let's see what's written on the letter." Kali said as her eyes scanned the contents

「 Dear the SS-Rank Wizard, Kali who's also known as the Killer of Time. 」

「 Before we start this off, I should tell you this in order to tell us that we bear no hostility towards you. 」

Kali looked at the letter in confusion. "We? This letter was written by two people?"

「 First, we look to you, we see you as our role model, and our *ahem* idol. While we were in Magnolia, we heard about the amazing feats you've done at a very young age, and we instantly became entranced by it. 」

「 As our admiration grew, we wanted to know more information about you. However, that's when we stopped. We felt as if we weren't worthy enough to know of your abilities, that's why, we decided to become stronger ourselves and discover your abilities by fighting you. One day, when we're strong enough, we'll come to you and ask for a fight…maybe a spar instead. 」

「 And if by any chance you're seeing this letter, please note that we found your house because of the news that was spread while you were gone. 」

「 That's about it. Just know "we" wish to fight you and that "we" love you. 」

"That's it, huh?" Kali muttered as she flipped to the back to check. "Though, do they really see me as their idol or their rival?"

Kali was curious to see who it was, but since the letter said that they'll come to her once they were strong enough, Kali decided all she had to do was wait for the two people to suddenly show up and ask her for a fight.

"But who knows how long that'll take," Kali muttered. "Oh well, let's check on the guild. There's no point worrying about something that won't happen anytime soon."

"Also, isn't there something happening today?"

When Kali arrived in front of the guild, she was surprised because there was a crowd of people and in the middle of it all was Natsu and Erza.

'Oh? Is this because of what Natsu said back at the train station?' Kali thought.

"And here comes another monster!" someone exclaimed.

Suddenly, all eyes turned to Kali who was still walking towards them.

"Hello and who are you calling a monster? I'm just a regular wizard." Kali protested.

"Kali, I don't think you're anywhere close to regular." Mira said, appearing at Kali's side.

"Eh? Even you?" Kali asked. "Anyway, is Natsu seriously fighting Erza?"

"Yep, I hope Erza doesn't injure Natsu severely. We still need him."

"Considering it's Erza, she might not show mercy. It looks like the fight is about to start, pay attention."

A bright flash of light appeared and Erza's appearance changed, instead of her regular armor, she now wore the Flame Empress armor to counter Natsu's strategy.

"Not bad." Kali commented.

The temperature in the air suddenly rose as flames erupted from Natsu's flames as Erza got into her stance.

Instantly, the two dashed at each other. Erza's sword easily countered Natsu's flames, however, it wasn't as easy as it seems.

Although Erza's armor halved Natsu's power in half, half of Natsu's power alone could wipe out an entire town. Both of them made quick movements, dodging, attacking, and constantly looking for their opponent's weakness.

It was truly an amazing fight.

As Kali was watching, there was an unfamiliar figure heading towards them. Since Kali didn't want to end the fight, she silently left the crowd and started walking into the direction of the figure.

"Who are you?" Kali asked the frog-like figure.

"I am an emissary from the National Council."

"Ah, then you can turn around and leave."

"Excuse me?"

"I don't think I stuttered, I said you should leave. If there's a problem, then tell them my name."

"What is your name?"

"Killer of Time." Kali replied as she turned back to watch the fight.

"Selfish politicians, they have no right coming here." Kali murmured under her breath as she walked away.

The emissary stood there speechless, the name "Killer of Time" sounded extremely familiar. The emissary decided to head back and tell them what happened.

By the time Kali returned, the fight had already ended with Erza winning and Natsu being pummeled into the ground. Thankfully, nobody noticed Kali disappearing.

"That was an amazing fight!" Mira exclaimed cheerfully. "Though I sure hope Natsu is okay."

"Don't worry, it's Natsu, he'll be fine." Kali reassured her.

With that said, the fight ended.

"Now, it's time for Erza to fight Kali!" Levy exclaimed.

Kali stopped walking and turned around.

"Ha? What did you say?"
