History FanFic / ProfessorArc

* TheBeard: Blake plays along with the rumors of her relationship with Yang in front of Sun in an effort to let him down gently.

* YankTheDogsChain: Just when Yang finally gets the chance to set the record straight about her alleged romantic relationship with Blake, the latter unexpectedly [[TheBeard plays along with the rumors to discourage Sun]].

* AdaptationalVillainy: Hazel Rainart, by virtue of OutdatedByCanon. ''Professor Arc II: Headmaster Arc'' was wrapping up right as Volume 8 of [[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} RWBY]] was being released, which provided additional information on Hazel's background and motivations, information that made Hazel's motive much more logically consistent.[[note]][[spoiler:Volume 8 revealed that Hazel did hold Salem responsible for his sister's death and tried to kill her. Salem [[DespairEventHorizon broke him]] by allowing him to try to kill her as many times as he wanted, demonstrating that she had CompleteImmortality. Salem was able to then turn Hazel against Ozpin, painting him as a man hopelessly throwing innocent lives against an InvincibleVillain who only wants to abolish Kingdoms and the Huntsman academies. When Hazel learns that Salem's actual goal is to summon the Brother Gods to wipe out humanity and [[DeathSeeker thereby kill her]] (the only loophole to her immortality), [[HeelFaceTurn he turns against her]]]].[[/note]] Without this context, Coeur was left with only the apparent InsaneTrollLogic of Hazel blaming Ozpin for his sister's death to the Grimm instead of Salem, the ''queen'' of the Grimm, and thus leans into a portrayal of Hazel as a [[MisplacedRetribution irrational man]] [[RevengeBeforeReason obsessed with revenge]].

** Jaune expected Roman's boss to be some plump lady with a NightmareFace not...[[EvilIsSexy Cinder]].

** [[spoiler:Ironwood's decision to arrest Jaune. While he has a few reasons to believe Jaune is very suspicious and at least complicit with Cinder, there is very little hard evidence backing his claims, he's ''heavily'' hampered by the professor's HundredPercentAdorationRating, and Port even suspects GreenEyedMonster is in play regarding Glynda.]]
* HundredPercentAdorationRating: Jaune is quickly accepted at Beacon, and is highly regarded by many faculty, staff and students. [[spoiler:When he's arrested by Ironwood, it doesn't take long for the cries for Atlesian blood to start howling... exactly what Cinder wants.]]

** The students and staff of Beacon will raise hell to anyone who dares harm or hurt [[HundredPercentAdorationRating their Professor Arc]]. [[spoiler:Blake ''barely'' held herself back from attacking Jaune's sisters for their cruel remarks about him, and from intervening in Jaune's fight with his father]].

* CassandraTruth: To Jaune's horror, [[spoiler:his web of lies collapses in the worst manner imaginable when it turns Ironwood has bought the lie so completely he cannot accept Jaune, who he sees as a consummate badass [[TheCasanova Casanova]], confessed that he's a seventeen-year old with zero formal training who mostly bluffed his way into a dangerous criminal enterprise, Beacon itself, and the [[HundredPercentAdorationRating absolute trust of everyone he meets]]. Likewise, while Ironwood acknowledges Jaune's records are faked, he's very wrong about the intent behind them, leading the General to think Jaune's the mastermind behind Cinder. Roman has one hell of a laugh at this]].

** By the grace of the OneDialogueTwoConversations trope, Ironwood thinks Jaune is being causal with Penny. To make matters worse, the {{gynoid}}'s enthusiasm with her first "boyfriend" (that's it, [[LiteralMinded a friend who is a boy]]) [[OverprotectiveDad doesn't sit well with the General]]. [[KnightTemplarParent At all]]. Jaune's [[AccidentalInnuendo horrible wording]] when they actually meet cements their mutual hatred: Ironwood for being suspicious of Jaune, and Jaune for being afraid of what he might do to him, unbeknownst to him because of a massive misunderstanding.

* InsaneTrollLogic: How everyone treats [[TheSocialDarwinist Raven's]] definition of 'strength', pointing out that for all her talk on the subject, both she and her tribe of trained bandits only attack villages full of untrained civilians and actively ''avoid'' any Grimm or well-organised groups, giving them an overwhelming advantage. Qrow mentions that whenever anyone brought this up to her, Raven would just spout a generic [[MightMakesRight "the strong rule the weak"]] spiel and refuse to acknowledge the point.
