Chapter 21: Calm day?

Naegi was walking to his class... it had been a week since he was in the hospital... and that day he was dispatched from the Hospital. Although his hand was still extremely bandaged and his right eye was still under a bandage, he could walk around and move. He then entered the classroom, everyone turned surprised at the boy who was smiling at them - "hey guys" - he greeted before he was surrounded by everyone.

"Naegi-kun should you be walking?" - asked worried Hina, before Naegi touched her head with his right hand - "the doctor and the Kimura family told me I shouldn't move too much... but they said I can come here" - Hina was still worried but Naegi's smile made her smile it was then that Sakura got near them- "Naegi-kun... I'm sorry I couldn't help you fight" - she said with disappointment in her voice. Naegi looked and got worried flailing his hands - "it wasn't your fault Sakura-san... you were drugged" - he then got a little sad - "it should be me who should be apologizing to you" - he said while smiling gently. After that Leon and Hifumi got close to Naegi, he then started talking with Leon who was awestruck with Naegi, now that he knew Naegi was the Jester he was following online.. the legendary rumor, he even asked Naegi for a Calling card with the Jester signature... Naegi at first thought it was weird, yet after shrugging his shoulder he decided to do it anyway. After a while, Naegi was telling him the stories of his assassination (leaving out the gore) surprising both Leon and Hifumi.

"Wow, dude it's amazing that you were able to end like that... I mean you were just a normal guy before... so how did you learn all those moves" - Naegi without thinking quickly answer - "circus"- he said confusing both of them - "sometimes while traveling Sora would order me to join the circus... there I learned a lot" - This confused both of them, Hifumi then asked how could a circus teach him assassination techniques - "Well from the circus I learned: how to throw knives, aerobic, magic tricks and illusions... which to my surprise... all worked in my jobs... also from some ticket sellers I learned how to pickpocket... but I'm not proud of that"

After a while Naegi also told them all the places he had visited, surprising the boy - "dude how you got the money to pay all those things?" - asked Leon when Naegi told him the helicopter he used that day was his, Naegi looked at him confused - "well... I do get paid for the skills... after all, most of them are contracts... but most of it comes from Jester secret account" - he said thinking getting the attention of everyone - "Jester secret account?" - asked confused Mondo... - "how much money does it have?" - he noticed how rude he was yet he was really curious, this made Naegi think for a while - "well I'm not sure but if I can remember correctly it was ... I think 12 billion dollars?" - he said unsure... yet everyone one looked at him shocked, other than Byakuya (whose company is worth 60 billion) - "WHAT!?"- screamed everyone surprised... shocking and confusing the boy - "how did you get all that money?"

"Well the Jester mostly hunts people of high power... so most of our employees are high-paying ones... also previous Jester have stolen articles of high cost... there's also ownership of casinos" - he explained while thinking leaving all of them shocked - "Ahh and sometimes we are hired to steal important things" - he finished... confused when he saw everyone shocked - "Umm guy's?" - they all sighed only Naegi was selfless enough to not spend all his money - "sorry Naegi... we are just surprised" - said Maizono

"hahaha yeah we didn't know you were so rich" - said Mondo ruffling Naegi's hair, who laughed nervously, - "well it's not like I can spend it all... after all the money is mostly for helping people who had suffered at the hands of our target" - he said a little sad surprising everyone, They had forgotten that the Jester only targeted people who brought pain to others... so there was a lot of victims because of those targets, they all then looked at Naegi who smiled noticing what he did - "sorry for ruining the mood" - said Naegi smiling before they all looked at him
