Freedom and Reward

"Hmm…" Pondering over the question Eivann threw at him for a bit, Valyr eventually asked the man a question of his own. "What's the difference between the two?"

"The amount of freedom and the amount of rewards you get, really," said Eivann with a slight shrug, only to give the young man a longer explanation after that. 

"If you choose to become a mercenary, then you'll have to complete a set number of missions per month. However, as long as you complete those missions, you're free to do whatever you want after that."

"Say you did end up choosing to become a mercenary," continued the man. "You'll start off as a novice mercenary, where you're required to complete five missions for your level before you're promoted to a 1-star mercenary, which reduces that count by one."

"With that being said, the more stars you get, obviously the less missions you have to do per month." Eivann looked at Valyr with a calm expression.
