Static Methods Inheritance

I want to use a Parent class called Settings, and this class is never used, it got some methods and one of the method is 
public static NamespacedKey getKey() {
        return null;
    }
public static NamespacedKey getKey() {
        return null;
    }
I want that in the class that I am extending, to put the method again but with the class's key 
public class MysticBossBarShow extends Settings {
    private static final NamespacedKey key = new NamespacedKey(MysticEnchantments.getInstance(), "mystic_boss_bar_show");

    public static NamespacedKey getKey() {
        return key;
    }
}
public class MysticBossBarShow extends Settings {
    private static final NamespacedKey key = new NamespacedKey(MysticEnchantments.getInstance(), "mystic_boss_bar_show");

    public static NamespacedKey getKey() {
        return key;
    }
}
so when I use MysticBossBarShow.getValue(player) - This methods uses getKey(), will it use the getKey() from the parent or from the child?

public static boolean getValue(Player player) {
        if (getKey() == null) illegalUse();
        return player.getPersistentDataContainer().getOrDefault(getKey(), PersistentDataType.BOOLEAN, true);
    }
public static boolean getValue(Player player) {
        if (getKey() == null) illegalUse();
        return player.getPersistentDataContainer().getOrDefault(getKey(), PersistentDataType.BOOLEAN, true);
    }
This is the getValue() in the parent Settings
