Chapter 52:- History Lesson

(A/N:- 2 Chapters To Izuku's Revenge)

"Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it." - George Santayana

"By the way, ready for your grand debut?" asked Giran

"Why do you think you are here then?" asked Izuku getting severe.

"Then, how do you wish to make your grand debut, in the underworld?" asked Giran

"It should be very grand, just like the financial crisis that happened in 2008, which impacted the world drastically," said Izuku.

"2008, isn't it like almost 4 centuries ago?" Asked Giran.

"Yes," Izuku said.

"Why or rather how do you know about something that happened centuries ago?" asked Giran.

"Like I said Giran, you lot let your brain turn stagnant, from not using your brain enough, I am not you people, I have information on all major events that happened in the past 400 years," said Izuku

"But didn't you say to AFO you would have loved to have information from AFO's time?" asked Giran

"Giran Giran Giran, you really need to jog your brain, do some sudoku, it will help you sharpen your mind, what I said to AFO isn't a lie, I wanted information on the quirks, and he is someone from the times when quirks were still a new thing,

And would have information about quirks, and even things that the history would hide from the general public, during those times, someone like AFO came in really handy, and I wanted info only on the quirks, so I could get an idea about how quirks came to be and how they spread across almost 80% of the world.

Still, that isn't the only information I have with me or research for, there are other things as well, things like major events that happened in the world in the last 400 years" said Izuku explaining things.

"Why only 400 years old, why not before it?" asked Giran.

"Because the internet was discovered in 2008, that's when the tech started developing, any information before is both redundant and also hard to look for, for it is stored in books, and one part of history has too many editions and versions, and I don't have any interest in wasting my time reading about things, which I know nothing about which is the right version which isn't.

And I also have no way of finding out or verifying it with someone so, I don't need information before the 2000s." said Izuku.

"Still why 400 years of history, what will you achieve with it?" asked Giran.

"400 years of history tells me even more than you can think of actually, it shows human nature, what humans did when they encountered with a global crisis, how humans took it, what kinds of things people endured and survived, be it Iseral and Palestine war or Russia Ukraine war, tell me have you heard of these countries before?" asked Izuku.

"Well I have heard about a country named Russia, but not about the other 3," said Giran after thinking for a while.

"Exactly, you don't even know about the other 3 countries, why?" asked Izuku.

"Why?" Giran said as he obviously didn't know the answer to.

"Because they don't exist anymore, they ceased to exist by 2050, do you know the cause of it?" asked Izuku.

"No," said Giran.

"Terrorism, possession of a piece of land, lust for more power, all these were the reasons why by the end of 2050, these countries ceased to exist," said Izuku.

"What about Russia, that country still exists?" asked Giran.

"Russia exists because of its landmass, it's simply too big and loaded with weapons that it cannot go extinct that easily," said Izuku

"What about other countries, which countries existed 400 years ago," giran was curious as this meeting had become a history lesson for him, and he wanted to learn more.

"Sri Lanka a small island country near the tip of the Indian subcontinent that went into bankruptcy, civil wars, debt far more than they could pay, runaway government, the people had a really tough time, that's when India sort of bought it, or I should say cleared Sri Lanka's debt, for India had good relations with Sri Lanka, and Sri Lanka had major traces of shared history and culture, with one of the gods worshipped by the Hindus of India that is Lord Ram which India had emotional connections with and wanted to preserve it at any cost..

Now, people have totally forgotten about Sri Lanka, and it is considered as a part of the Indian subcontinent.

However, the same couldn't be said about India's other neighbor Pakistan.

They were so hell-bent on causing chaos, and terrorism to their parent country India, and taking away a piece of land from India, that the government of Pakistan spent the majority of its money on promoting terrorism, to the point that they started getting poorer and poorer as their debt started increasing as well, their currency value depreciating by the day, the life of people in Pakistan started getting tougher and tougher, the country was in so much debt that they could no longer fund terrorism, and due to which those very terrorist that they housed as if their own sons, attacked Pakistan, killed people, raped women, country of Pakistan became a living hell, all the politicians run by Pakistani military,

And India didn't do anything to help them even though India was its parent country, not because India hated Pakistan, no not at all, but because Pakistan had caused so many deaths and acts of terrorism, that India's youth disowned them, and India had one of the highest youths, so had the government did something they would have to face lots of trouble, and Pakistan had caused enough death and destruction of property,

that it was high time for Indians, and their tolerance was also at their wits ends, so India didn't do anything and let Pakistan suffer until it was so much in debt that America actually bought Pakistan, killing the previous figures of authorities, ceasing control over their lands and property. People of Pakistan were treated like outsiders and refugees in their own country and they had no way of opposing it, and it was all thanks to the wrong decisions made by previous authorities. They only had 2 options, either endure what's going on or die.

That is why there is no Pakistan and Srilanka, both these countries were bought by other countries. Where one still enjoys all the privileges and is treated with respect, the other is oppressed and has a miserable life, well they brought it upon themselves.

What do you think is common in all these countries?" asked Izuku finishing his history lesson.

"What?" asked Giran.

"Israel, Palestine, Ukraine all went extinct over piece of land and struggle for power, while Pakistan went bankrupt and extinct over acts of terrorism, and Sri Lanka retained its prestige and respect by being a good friend to India," said Izuku explaining the common trait.

Giran was very diligent as he wrote down all the important points and new findings, and the reason for their downfall.

"That's why history is important, as all this happened even before quirks were discovered, now think what would happen now that we have quirks.

And by the next generation everyone will have quirks, taking human nature as constant, as it hasn't changed in the last 400 years, and taking into account the proverb, 'History repeats itself' what do you think will happen when everyone in the world will have quirks," asked Izuku.

Giran thought about what Izuku said, thinking about what all could happen from this small history lesson as his face turned grim as he said, " Mass destruction,"

"Exactly, that's why it is important to learn human history," said Izuku.

"How did you learn all this, no when did you get time to learn all this?" asked Giran.

"All thanks to the internet and the events of the past which don't go anywhere, as the government thinks it is not that important, I know how things work, and how people react, all I did was give 2 hours every Sunday into researching all this since I was 5. The result is in front of you," said Izuku.

"I am truly fascinated," said Giran as he understood, his boss had done true work while others just wasted their time.

Even Kaina was surprised by how knowledgeable Izuku was, and now she felt all the dreams Izuku had, weren't that unachievable, although she had full trust in Izuku, she still wondered how Izuku would do it.

"Now Giran, where is my payment for the history lesson," said Izuku with a smirk
