History Fanfic / MyHuntsmanAcademia

** In addition, thanks to her not being on a team with Weiss, not meeting Sun, and a bunch of luck, Blake's status as a Faunus and former member of the White Fang remains known only to her and Izuku.

** "That's just the kind of person Spumoni is." [[spoiler: Said by Mirio about the name of his fourth team member. The reason this is a wham line is because Spumoni is the name of Neo's sister, who died well before the events that led to the fourth person leaving team MHA -- and revealing that Neo was in fact the fourth member of the team.]]
** "Everyone... I'm... going to need you all to listen to me a moment. There's something you all deserve to hear." [[spoiler: Said by Blake before she proceeded to explain everything about her past from being a secret cat faunus to being a former member of the White Fang to everyone present (Teams MNVW, RSBR, TABY, and MADE, Sun, Aizawa, Sorahiko, Enji, and Ozpin). This, in turn, results in Izuku confessing to the four teams and Sun over the course of Spring Break that he already knew about all this and kept it a secret.]]
*** Preceeding that: "It's time, Izuku. There's no running from it anymore. Not now." [[spoiler: Said in reply to Izuku's comment about what she's going to do about her ears now that they're no longer hidden by her ribbon.]]

* WhamLine: "That's just the kind of person Spumoni is." [[spoiler: Said by Mirio about the name of his fourth team member. The reason this is a wham line is because Spumoni is the name of Neo's sister, who died well before the events that led to the fourth person leaving team MHA -- and revealing that Neo was in fact the fourth member of the team.]]

* DoorStopper: The main story has over 1.3 million words of content[[note]]which includes technical information like stat screens and progress options[[/note]] as of September 2019. Then there's the 320,000 words worth of canon {{Omake}}s and 290,000 words worth of non-canon {{Omake}}s.

** When one or more members of Team MNVW needs to be pitted against another team in a spar, they'll often end up against characters who are blatantly lifted from other works, such as Caitlyn and Vi from ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' or Lloyd, Presea, Genis, and Zelos from ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia''.
** Mitsu Bachi, Izuku's second sparring opponent, is a clear reference to The Pain from ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater'', between his ability to manipulate bees and hornets and shoot bullet bees from his mouth.

* RealityEnsues:
** Izuku has to find Aizawa, who is posing as a "Huntsman" who can be found for extra credit. What does Izuku do? He asks Glynda where he is and she tells him.
** In canon, Weiss tried to convince Pyrrha to be on her team, only to wind up partnered with Ruby instead. Here she ends up on the same team as Pyrrha, but learns a harsh lesson that just because someone is strong and popular, doesn't necessarily mean that you'll like them as much as you thought- as the old saying goes, "Never meet your heroes." Weiss quickly gets frustrated with Pyrrha's ApologizesALot and ExtremeDoormat traits, not to mention her total disinterest in using her fame.
** While schools like Beacon and U.A. are spoken of as the best places to get an education as a Hunter, there are other schools that aren't as prestigious, like Birch. It ''has'' a Hunter program, but their specialty is survivalism and engineering. You can still learn how to be a Hunter there, it just isn't as good as an education from Signal, for example.
** While it works out in a lot of cases, Beacon's method of picking teams- "The person you make eye contact with and whoever else gets a similar relic,"- is shown to have problems. Specifically, Team EGNT. Toshinori and Enji butted heads constantly over who got the top role, causing friction the whole four years. It also doesn't take into account what will happen if team members have vastly different goals- the team disintegrated basically the moment that graduation happened, rather than form a group of TrueCompanions.
** Putting pressure on a group to be equal to a man so powerful and great an entire ''age of history'' was named after him can work... or it can destroy the people you pressure. STRQ fell into the latter category. Tai retired to become a house husband away from the strain, Raven cracked and led to her severing all ties to be a bandit in Mistral, Qrow is an alcoholic, and Summer tried to hold the line by going on more and more dangerous missions until she didn't come back.

Now seventeen years old, he's on his way to Beacon Academy, the finest Huntsman Academy in the world. Although his Aura needs work and his new Semblance, One For All, has some [[HeroicRROD serious kickback]], Izuku finally has a chance to turn a hopeless dream into reality. He's gotta put in some serious effort to make that happen and has a ton of important decisions to make, whether it's doing one-on-one training to get the hang of One For All, choosing whether to run or fight from the nastiest of Grimm, or [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking just figuring out what to say to a girl he just met]], this would-be Hero has a lot on his plate and big shoes to fill.

* {{Gamebooks}}: The story is written like a game of TabletopGame/{{GURPS}}, allowing readers to choose how the story is going to go, whether it 's Izuku's choices in the midst of a fight or how he's spending his downtime.

* AdaptationalWimp: Some of the more overpowered or reality-breaking Quirks from My Hero Academia are toned down to fit into the slightly more realistic tone of RWBY.
** Mount Lady, for example, has a Semblance that makes her grow a few feet and become stronger, but not to the AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever extreme of her canon powerset.
** Shoto Todoroki still has his fire and ice abilities, but he has to use Dust to trigger it, whereas his canon counterpart can do it without outside help.
** The Iida family in canon tend to have super-speed powers via engines in their body parts. Here, they have unusual Auras that can't produce a Semblance, so they rely on power armor to compensate (the Quest Manager has said this was so that there wasn't a doubling up on the super-speed powers that Ruby has).

* InnocentlyInsensitive: Weiss and Shoto tried to get to know each other at one point. Unfortunately, Shoto is absolutely terrible at talking to people or understanding social motivations. He asks her why "A spoiled princess," is studying so far away from her family. What he meant was that he knew she was different from what the hype around her said (that she was a spoiled princess, and meant it sarcastically) and was genuinely curious about her motivations, as she appeared to be defying her father in a way he could his. What Weiss got out of it was that he was calling her spoiled and that she didn't care about her family at all. In return, she manages to step on his BerserkButton by calling him a child of two elements, bringing up his... well, ''massive'' issues with his father. The two make up in the aftermath of the Mountain Glenn training battle.

* LikeRealityUnlessNoted: Despite the story starting on the day everyone arrives at Beacon, the things that happened to the main cast are largely the same: the Red, White, Yellow, and Black trailers still happened without any major changes and are occasionally referenced in-story. Ruby's foiled Torchwick's Dust heist and was transferred to Beacon two years early as before. Izuku's story did change a bit - his "Quirklessness" was replaced with "Broken," and the Sludge Villain is replaced by rogue Grimm, not to mention other setting-specific details (Mountain Glenn is ''not'' near an ocean, thus the "clearing the beach" training montage had to be altered) - but is, again, the same for all intents and purposes. Shoto's past and his father's attempts to create a weapon to dethrone Toshinori as the the best in the world are the same, as are Nora and Ren's backstory.

** The Faunus, as per canon, are this. There's also people from the My Hero Academia side who are adapted into Faunus because of animal traits (such as Tokoyami and Tsuyu).

* RunningGag: When Blake fights against criminal Faunus, they will inevitably and specifically call her a human. They'll do this to literally no one else but her.

** Team MHA are unusual, as they don't have a fourth member. Izuku initially fears that something happened to the fourth member, and is hesitant to ask what happened to her (thinking she died or was crippled, or ''something'' horrible)... only for the team to reveal that she was talented, but her heart wasn't in it and eventually dropped out peacefully. They don't hold it against her or anything, and accept that it was just something that sometimes happens. [[spoiler: It turns out to be subverted, though, given the identity of the fourth member.]]

* WhamEpisode: Canon Outtake 237, "Itch," is a big one. [[spoiler: For the first time in the story, All For One, the BigBad of My Hero Academia, communicates with his underlings. In addition, he casually namedrops Salem, the BigBad of RWBY, confirming outright that both these characters exist. While it was fairly safe to assume that they did- the Monochrome League and the League of Villains and the existence of the Grimm made it fairly clear- but this was the first out-and-out confirmation in the quest's canon.]]
* WhamLine: "That's just the kind of person Spumoni is." [[spoiler: Said by Mirio about the name of his fourth team member. The reason this is a wham line is because Spumoni is the name of Neo's sister, who died well before the events that led to the fourth person leaving team MHA- and revealing that Neo was in fact the fourth member of the team.]]

** The "What if they met when they were 13" AU is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, and based on a comment of Izuku's that if he and Yang had met when they were 13, they probably wouldn't have been friends. The AU explores how wrong that idea is. [[spoiler: It also has Yang confronting her father about Raven far earlier, Katsuki and others in Mountain Glenn reining in the bullying thanks to repeated encounters with a certain blonde, and leads to Qrow meeting Izuku and recommending him as a possible successor for One For All to Toshinori before even canon Izuku had met the man.]]

* RealMenWearCook: Izuku learns to cook in order to satisfy Nora's pancake cravings in this story and ends up baking a cake for Pyrrha's birthday. It's so good that Katsuki ends up shoveling four plates of it into his mouth while [[ImplausibleDeniability saying that he didn't come to the birthday party just for the cake]]. Ren is an even better cook than Izuku, to the point that his "failed" pancakes are considered heavenly by everyone other than Nora.

** Izuku and Tenya gender-invert this as they're the leaders and only guys on their respective teams, which each have three girls.
** Ruby plays this straight as the only girl on a team with three guys.

* RealMenWearPink: Izuku learns to cook in order to satisfy Nora's pancake cravings in this story and ends up baking a cake for Pyrrha's birthday. It's so good that Katsuki ends up shoveling four plates of it into his mouth while [[ImplausibleDeniability saying that he didn't come to the birthday party just for the cake]]. Ren is an even better cook than Izuku, to the point that his "failed" pancakes are considered heavenly by everyone other than Nora.

[[WMG/MyHuntsmanAcademia Wild Mass Guessing]] has begun.

As always, beware of unmarked spoilers.

** Team MHA are unusual, as they don't have a fourth member.

''My Huntsman Academia'' is a ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia''[=/=]''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' FusionFic [[{{Gamebooks}} Quest Thread]] written by gorilla_fingers on Website/{{Spacebattles}}. Taking place in the world of Remnant with My Hero Academia's Hero Course students becoming Huntsmen-in-Training, it follows Izuku's path to follow in his idol's footsteps as a hero in the making along with all of the choices that come with it.

It can be read [[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/my-huntsman-academia-rwby-mha-cross-quest.549311/ here]].

It is also being edited into traditional fanfic format by Shovern and Wind-Waker and can be read [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13031606/1/My-Huntsman-Academia here.]] It isn't exactly the same; for one, mentions of the mechanics of the game (so common in the Quest proper) are removed. Sections are trimmed down, edited, and moved around to make it third person instead of second person, not to mention have a more consistent feel (one canon omake had its ending (which made it more comedic) removed so as to make it a touch more somber).

* ATaleToldByAnIdiot: Nora tends to call Izuku's Glenn Smash a "finger-bang" thanks to its explosive power at the cost of breaking a finger. Unfortunately, whenever she says he "finger-banged" someone else, people tend to think of [[DoubleEntendre much kinkier things]]. [[spoiler:It's briefly PlayedForDrama when Momo comes to the conclusion that he sexually assaulted a girl in broad daylight without any form of retribution from Nora's description of his fight against Yang.]]

** The story's interpretation of the soul operates on many of the same principles as the original RWBY. Every living being (sans [[TheHeartless the Grimm]]) is born with a soul. With enough impetus, a soul is usually able to awaken one's Aura, granting the user the ability to create {{Deflector Shield}}s to defend against attacks and perform {{Ki Attack}}s that grant superhuman strength and speed. Aura can also be channeled into weapons and armor or used to fuel a Semblance, a powerful ability that is usually unique to an individual (but can be inherited by one's offspring), granting a wide variety of almost magical effects. The primary difference is that people in this story can be born [[UnSorcerer "Broken"]]. Broken Souls have gaps in their makeup that render them too weak to ever awaken an Aura or develop a Semblance. For people like Izuku, this can be humiliating and the source of scorn and bullying, especially because he wanted to be a Huntsman more than anything. It is also considered a disability as Aura helps push along one's natural growth. Because of this, Izuku is noticeably shorter than his canon counterpart at the start of the story, only making up the difference after more than a year of training and spending several months with an Aura.

* ButtMonkey: Izuku gets into tons of embarrassing situations, like running out of the shower with nothing but a towel on when he thought the girls were in trouble, giving them an eyeful of his six-pack abs to his embarrassment. Weiss isn't much better, being the target of numerous AccidentalPervert moments on Izuku's part and generally being placed into situations where she's comically out of depth.

* OffWithHisHead: Numerous Grimm, particularly Beowolves, fall victim to this trope. Izuku first realizes just how far he's come from Initiation when he starts easily taking off their heads and breaking their necks with just his Full Cowl-enhanced punches and kicks during his final exam in Live Exercises.

** After wrecking one of the gauntlets of Emerald Gust with his first use of One For All, Izuku ends up having both of his gauntlets modified so that they can slide over the fingers by disengaging the safeties and off by reengaging them so he can use his Semblance without wrecking them again. This mechanism is reminiscent of the hand guards of the the [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Shining Gundam]], which slide back when [[https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZjjebXD5Quw/hqdefault.jpg it's utilizing]] the [[https://youtu.be/eZpa9RF9aj4?t=48 Shining Finger.]]

** The Vale docks where [[spoiler:the White Fang are gathering for a massive Dust heist for future plans]], are named after comic book crime bosses, including [[ComicBook/TheKingpin Fisk Pier]], [[Characters/TheSpectacularSpiderMan Lincoln Yard]], and [[Characters/BatmanRoguesGalleryPart1 Falcone Shipping]]. The senior [[spoiler:White Fang]] members leading the operations are all designed after Disney/TheThreeCaballeros.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: This story is a fusion of RWBY, which already has a massive cast, and Boku No Hero Academia, which has 21 characters in class 1-A ''alone.'' The number of named characters in this story is honestly staggering.

** According to one of the canon omakes, Izuku lives on Horikoshi street. Horikoshi is the author of My Hero Academia.
