---------------

Aska, slowly and sneakily, collected the black sand that was scattered around. Lenox also seemed to be sending heat to his feet, ready to launch himself. Toph...was picking her nose.

*WWHHIISS* *CLANK*

Aska and Lenox flashed away from their spot and appeared with their weapons interlocked.

Round Two!

---------------

Toph was standing dumbstruck, she had no idea what was happening around her, she heard the sound of air getting cut, or the sound of bubbling, which she recognized as Lenox's doing. But a moment ago when her senses picked up on all of the people near dropping to the ground, she was almost petrified. If it wasn't for the fact that she can feel them breathing whilst on the ground, Toph was sure that she would have passed out from the shock.

The reason she was able to react in time to Aska's attack was Lenox. Lenox had told her about his friend from Japan, the one who won the UA sports festival. Lenox kept rambling on and on about this one move he used, and how he knocked out almost all of the contestant.

'Just what the hell is that move? It felt like the world was collapsing, no...it was bowing. Even the earth the air, all were forced to bow. I thought hid ability is to create and control high voltage electricity, but this sounds more like lightning. Besides that, his move was not related at all to electricity or lightning.' Toph was busy in her own thoughts as she reached to one of her sleeves and tore it. She wanted to wrap up the cut she made on her hand.

---------------

Todoroki was not sure what to do. All of his classmates, and opponents were knocked out. He had barely stopped himself from getting blasted away.

Todoroki looked at himself, he had received a few light burns, even the skin under ice was burned. The blast was so hot and intense that it burned him faster than he can cover himself in ice, but for some reason he wasn't burned too badly. It's like Lenox had set a degree of damage that he would receive, regardless off having himself covered in ice or not, he will receive that degree of damage, no more no less.

Todoroki looked at the center of the arena where he can see a pale blue and a bright red streaks flying all over the place. Intense heat can be felt, both of them are very strong. He can feel the world vibrate with every clash the two had. As Todoroki was watching he saw Aska spin around in the air as he was forced to make a landing because of Lenox's attacks. Arcs or lightning shot out of Aska and hit the ground, seemingly slowing Aska's descent down. Aska put his hands out as a flurry of lightning strikes started flying at Lenox. Lenox on the other hand was flashing past all of the attacks. Then suddenly the lightning took on a deeper shade of blue.

The new lightning was faster, and more devastated. Todorki looked over at the area where the bolts had landed. Many potholes and dents can be seen all over.

As the fight raged on, Todoroki sat on the ground. He had exhausted himself earlier. 'Just how much heat can those two produce. Aska's quirk is Electrokinesis. That's a complete lie. Electrokinesis would be something like Kaminari, he produces electricity and somewhat control them, but this...that's not just simple Electrokinesis.'

"HAHAHAHAHAH"

Todoroki then started laughing manically, he sounded like he lost his mind. 'Imagine what we went through, all that effort that bastard took to make us strong, and in the end we can't even accomplish that HAHAHAHAH so pathetic! Toya!' Todoroki looked up at the sky. Even as far as he is from the fight, flashes of blue and red can be seen.

Todoroki ignored the flashes as he kept gazing at the sky, 'You died for this! That worthless old man made you go, no, made us go through all of that to beat All Might, and here we are, not even close to first place. What is it, What is it! WHAT IS IT!...What is it that makes Aska go that far?' Todoroki thought as he looked at the huge smile on Aska's face

'Just how much power does he have? How much more does he want? Is it the rival thing. Does having an equal push you that hard, what is it that he has, what set him a part from us. It can't be the rival, or at least not the whole thing, there is something more, WHAT IS IT?!'

"You seem to be very angry" - Todoroki was so lost in his own thoughts he didn't see Toph walk over to him. She didn't try to attack him, or anything, she just walked over.

Looking up at the girl, he clenched his fists in response to her appearance. But just before he got up to attack,

"No need to put your guard up. I won't fight" - Toph

"Then what is it that you want?" - Todoroki didn't sound nice

"To talk. Since you're the only other person standing, then I take it you're the second strongest in your class. So what is it like...you know, being in the same class as him" - Toph said as she also took a seat next to Todoroki.

"*Sigh* It's a hassle" - Todoroki

"Is it? It sounds just like our class" - Toph said

The two sat there chatting while watching the battle, even if Toph couldn't see the fight, the intensity of the attacks sent vibrations through the air. She couldn't watch the fight completely, and sometimes she would lose track of who is who. But there is one thing clear to her, she had no place in this fight.

"First class singularity" - Toph suddenly said to Todoroki

"What?" - Todoroki was puzzled

"Those two, first class singularity" - Toph didn't say anymore, but it was enough for Todoroki to understand what she meant.

"Is that why they're so strong? Their quirks are the singularity?" - Todoroki

"Yes and no" - Toph

"Care to explain" - Todoroki

"They're born with powerful quirks, sure. But look at their faces. I'm blind but even I can tell that they are having fun right now. Since I knew Lenox even before Atlas academy, as far back as I remember, Lenox had always mentioned Aska Minamoto. He talked about his power and the things he had done over the years together. All the competitions, races, brawls, training, and so on. He called him humanity's greatest achievement, Lenox called Aska humanity's greatest achievement, you believe that? Well, anyway the reason they're so strong is because they wanted it, and not just half heartedly. I'm certain that even if they had been born with different quirks, they would still be at the top" - Toph

"You say that, but what of those who are born with weak abilities, or no abilities at all. They just get crushed from the get go, and don't get the chance to prove themselves. Besides against true power, all else fails" - Todoroki

"Who told you that?" - Toph

"It's Aska's ideal. He wanted to be an absolute" - Todoroki

"Well, regardless of whether they are who they are because of their hard work and persistence, or because they are the chosen ones. They didn't get here because for no reason" - Toph

"We all had to go through things" - Todoroki

"Sure, but remember, a diamond is a coal that did well under pressure. So how well did you preform." - Toph asked as she giggled at the end of her sentence.

Todoroki kept staring at Toph. The sound of fighting, the loud crashing of lightning and the world end sound of the air heating up, the volant clashing, it was all drowned out. Todoroki had so many thoughts, so many questions, not for Toph, but for himself, for Aska, for his father, even his mother.

As Todoroki's brain spiraled into contemplation, Toph heard a big group of people walking into the arena from the entrance near them.
