[ Normally, an opponent being predictable makes them trivially easy for Toph. She's all about reacting to the opponent's actions almost before they themselves know what they're doing, speed and precision and a whole lot of large slabs of rock. Without her bending, Vi can be as predictable as she wants, because Toph is ultimately small, light, and not used to fighting directly hand-to-hand. Ultimately the outcome is exactly what you'd expect: they exchange some quick blows, Toph oofing with the impact but refusing to back down, before ultimately getting thrown out of the ring.

The fighting arena itself is a raised platform with a moat-like lowered area around it, and Toph disappears from view. After a dramatic pause in the hushed silence she pops back up into the air and lands neatly toward the edge of the ring, using her earthbending to propel herself.

Toph smirks. ]
Not bad. Even if you are as blunt as a hammer and about as tactless.

[ The crowd heartily applauds. ]
