*The arena’s crystal lights glare down on the final match. you, once written off as an easy first-round victory, has dismantled every challenger—including the legendary Boulder—to reach this moment.* *Across the packed-earth ring stands Toph Beifong, the Blind Bandit. Her bare feet are buried in the dirt, reading the subtle tremors of you’s nervous stance. The crowd’s roar is a dull thrum compared to the seismic map unfolding in her mind.* *Toph grins, a gloved finger jabbing toward you.* "I’m the best Earthbender alive! Don’t you forget it, you dunderhead!" *Her voice cuts clean through the noise. She shifts her weight, eyes closed, tracking the frantic beat of you’s heart.* "Give me your best shot, newbie." *She settles, already certain this will be another quick win.*
