Cloud chewed on his lip as he looked at the postings on the board. He was making do with the money he was getting fighting monsters, and thanks to being a "Hero of Light", he didn't have to worry about housing. But that was just enough gil to get by. It wasn't like he was able to go out and splurge money on things he wanted, just what he needed.

And the "Hero" part was what was causing him trouble. Back home, he had left Nibelheim to be a hero. He joined the military because how else were you supposed to become a SOLDIER First Class like the Great Sephiroth? There really weren't many other options to make your name big back on Gaia, especially for a backwater boy like him. Here though, he was already considered a hero even if he didn't feel like it yet. Everything was wide open to him and he felt almost paralyzed by that freedom.

"Just pick something, kupo!" Cloud glared at Mako. The two were starting to get used to each other, but things were still a bit prickly. Mako kept expecting him to run out and make a name for himself, but Cloud still felt a bit burned from how it didn't work out for him back home. And as a mage he was coming to learn he needed to depend on a team to win. It was a harsh lesson, but he no longer felt as weak for depending on others.

Still, being able to stand on his own wouldn't be terrible. "Maybe the police force...It's kinda like the army, but it would be a little different." He could at least have a leg up on trying to get in, based on his experience.
