Several days after the moving of the students to their dorm rooms, Principal Nezu summoned everyone to U.A.'s. auditorium.
The anthropomorphic animal stood behind the podium before he cleared his throat. "Greetings, everyone. Thank you all for coming." He acknowledged all students present in their seats, paying attention to the school principal. "I called here today to make an important announcement, in 3 weeks' time we'll be starting a pilot exchange student program with students from Beacon Academy, one of the most renowned Huntsmen academies in the world of Remnant." The principal announced with his ever present smile.
All alumni reacted surprised at this announcement. As it turns out, this universe wasn't the only one there is in existence, in fact there is another.
Around the Fourth Generation of Quirks, it was discovered the existence of an alternative world known as Remnant due to an unusual time space event that causes dimensional rifts in the fabric of reality, working as gateways into this new world.
The world of Remnant was totally different from Earth. Where as Earth strived from the genetic gifts known as Quirks and was protected by Pro Heroes against Villains, Remnant, instead, strived from the mystical, nearly magical gifts from the soul known as Auras and Semblances and was protected by Huntsmen and Huntresses, warriors that harness these gifts and wielders of incredible anime-like weapons, from the Grimm, soulless creatures of darkness that are drawn to the negative emotions from people.
At first glance, Semblances are not so different from Quirks. They both share similar principles, people are born with this, both can be unique for the wielder and these can be any sort of power or ability. However, Quirks originate from the genetics of people and these are physical abilities, all limited and with a flaw or setback. Semblances on the other hand can range from physical to nearly magical and these run on the Auras, the energy from the soul, being the determining limit. On top of that Auras can also be used as protection from otherwise deathly attacks and accelerate healing. Another major difference is that virtually anyone can awaken their Auras and Semblances in Remnant with the proper methods, but on Earth not everyone has a Quirk, being a now rare 20% of population, which onced included Izuku and the former Symbol of Peace himself.
In Remnant there also exist Dust, crystals of elemental properties that have many uses for the people of Remnant, and quite more valuable their currency from known as Lien, being the most common serving as ammo for Huntsmen weaponry.Remnant also has quite the different story and setting, being that of a blend of high technology that surely gives the ones from the likes of I-Island a run for their money, and mysticism, an almost fairy-tale-like vibe. It's history is also quite intriguing: The world once had a different name, but it was lost to time after a catastrophic event millenia ago that left it destroyed, a mere remnant of what once was, even the moon of the planet has been left with a massive crater, being visible at night when the moon comes out. The myths also state that the world before Remnant was created by the Gods of Light and Darkness, the brothers creators of the world.
Remnant is home of many myths and legends of many kinds, but also two species of humanoid life. There are the humans from that world, basically the same as humans from Earth, except for the obvious differences that are Quirks, Auras and Semblances. And then there are the Faunus people, these species are nearly identical to humans, however they all are born with at least one animal trait that varies depending on the parents, these can be an extra pair of ears atop of the head, a tail, horns, marking on the skin, ect. Most Faunus posses only one trait, but there are Faunus who posses more than one trait of their corresponding animal species, these are Alpha Faunus, who are usually stronger than their common place counter parts, these Alpha Faunus are uncommon occurrences, but not to the point of being completely rare.In the long history of Remnant, there was being many instances of racism and discrimination against the Faunus all the way to present day, something that people on Earth find almost incompressible, as the concepts of discrimination and racism of old had all but died out with the coming of Quirks. Curiously enough, there can be an argument that people with animal traits on Earth, either due to a mutation-type Quirk or inherited genetics, can be seen as Faunus themselves in Remnant.
During the Fourth Generation of Quirks, first contact with Remnant and their people were performed and vice versa. After period of research and successful results, both parties from the governments of the nations of Earth as well as the four main kingdoms of Remnant came to the agreement of making the discovery public to the general populace of both worlds after successfully proving of amicable relationships between both worlds, it took a period of time for the peoples of both worlds to settled to the new reality of not being alone in all of existence, but with time it became general knowledge.
Nowadays, both Earth and Remnant act up as neighboring countries towards each other, maintaining an amicable relationship. However, there are strict rules to travel between both worlds, as both parties came to the agreement, that despite being on good terms towards each other, they must not interfere with the affairs of the other unless with expressed permission, which is why Huntsmen and Huntresses are not allowed to operate on Earth, nor can Pro Heroes in Remnant. And to travel between worlds, one must possess an especial passport that can be acquired after extensive legal processes, making it twice as long and tedious as acquiring a normal passport, unless these are requested by people of special interest such as royalties, high members of government or high class civilians, which is why it's not so commonplace seeing people from Remnant visiting Earth and the other way around. It was believed that both worlds would remain mostly isolated from each other for a long time, with not much in terms of hope of flawless integration due to the district rules in which Huntsmen and Pro Heroes operate. Huntsmen are trained to hunt and kill their objectives in order to protect the people first and foremost, as long as the people are safe that is all that matters. Pro Heroes, on the other hand, are trained to save people from any sort of situation and apprehend the Villains that commit vicious crimes, however there are consequences for the Pro Heroes that violate such as killing and causing grave collateral damages. In short, Huntsmen have more lax sets of rules to operate while Pro Heroes have very strict rules, hence the reason as to why there aren't attempts of integration between the two, until now it seems…
Nezu let the alumni react briefly at the news before resuming his announcement. "Now, I understand that you all are surprised about this announcement as you might be under the belief that it is impossible to make true and successful integration between our world and that of Remnant, however both myself and Headmaster Ozpin, from Beacon Academy, came to the agreement to make this experiment as an attempt to make such integration in light of recent events occuring of both worlds, the escalation of Villain attacks in here on Earth and the ever increasing rate of Grimm attacks in Remnant, the hope of this experiment is that integration can be archive, bring both worlds closer together and stand together against such adversities." The principal explained. "When the exchange student program starts in a few weeks, we will host two teams consisting of four students each of 2nd semester as well as a team of four senior students and two teachers of Beacon's faculty in charge of watching over the teams, each team will be assigned to the dorms of the Hero Course classes. In the meantime we will prepare everything for the arrival of our guests and I hope everyone does their part to ensure the success of this experiment." Nezu elaborated on the details. "That will be everything for now, you are allowed to leave now. Thank you for your time." The principal concluded as he bowed down his head and with that the alumni stood up and left the auditorium.
A lot had to be prepared and organized before the arrival of the Beacon students on both sides of the isle. U.A. had to create spaces of the exchange students to accomodate in the dorms of Classes 1-A and 1-B, something that Cementoss can take care of without much difficulty. Beacon had to ensure the students they will send to Earth are familiarized with the culture, customs, traditions and history of Earth as well as being taught about everything related to Hero Society. U.A. also had to make sure their own students are well-educated about Remnant culture and history to make it easier to acclimate to the newcomers and vice versa. The paperwork for the people of Remnant was already in the works as well as reorganization to accommodate the Huntsmen and Huntresses in training to their usual classes schedule among other specifics that the U.A. staff as well as the Beacon staff are working for the sake of the success of this first inter-universal exchange program.
The day continued as normal for Class A, but many were talking about the exciting possibility of meeting people from Remnant and even more so about that four students of Beacon will be staying with them in their dorm. Right now the class was walking back to their dorm after classes were finished for the day.
As they walked, many were still chatting about the exchange students they will host in the upcoming months. Aizawa-sensei informed them told them about one of the teams that will be staying with them, Team RWBY (Pronounced: Ruby), as well as the teacher assigned to them, Professor Goodwitch and two members of the senior team, Team CFVY (Pronounced: Coffee), assigned in providing support to the team and teacher. However, the homeroom teacher didn't tell the Hero Students the genders of these people, apparently Principal Nezu wanted to save that until everything was set. _ "I can't wait for the neko babes!" said Minoru Mineta the class pervert.
"They are called Faunus" retorted Tenya Iida the class Rep.
"Tell us when you grow up Minoru" retorted Tsuyu Asui.
"Try to say that to a Faunus you'll be black and blue" added Denki Kaminari.
"How do you know?" Asked Minoru.
"That's beside the point you should respect the transfers" retorted Tenya Iida. _
Meanwhile with Izuku, [A PHONE CALL IS HERE! A PHONE CALL IS HERE!] "Hello Mom How are you?" Said lzuku.
"Izuku! I have some news! A old friend is going to be at your school in a few weeks!" Izuku's mother Inko Midoriya said.
Izuku's breath hitched in his throat.
"You mean-"
"Yes! Blake is coming over in a few weeks!" Inko Midoriya said.
