To be honest, Cloud didn't mind the whole 'be a hero' part. That bit was what he always wanted. The rest of it was coming as a shock however. And as similar as this world was to his own, a lot of the specifics didn't seem to be lining up. Magic use for example.

"Cloud. Cloud Strife. This wouldn't be so bad if I still had my things with me. I'm not even that big a magic user back home. I don't know how whatever it was picked me out as one." He looks around as well at the cloud before looking back to Kaji. The man looked like he had about ten years or so on him. "Back where I'm from I'm in the army. What about you?"
