"They didn't even give us a specific explanation of its function. It's like jumping straight into a game level without giving us any hints!"

No, it might not necessarily be that way.

As Accelerator thought this, he carefully considered all the circumstances up to this point.

The thing called the Soul System has always been considering his own future.

Whether it's missions, rewards, or other actions, everything seems to be a choice made to continuously improve Accelerator's strength. Perhaps this is indeed a system tailor-made for the user.

If that's the case, then this stone must have its own use.

Accelerator simply doesn't know what that thing is for; it's that simple.

Perhaps, just like in those shonen manga, it might automatically activate in a critical moment.

"Forget it, there's no point in just staring blankly. Let's put this thing away for now."

Accelerator sighed. All he could do was put the stone in his hand into the system's inventory.

His main principle is to not do things that are useless.

"So... how are things on your end?"

Since I received the same treatment, I assume the other side will receive the same.

Accelerator turned his gaze to Hatsune Miku, intending to inquire about her situation.

"Don't tell me it's another outfit reward this time."

"Hmm... I think that's pretty good too."

"I'm getting tired of this. Can't we have something more lethal?"

Somewhat impatiently, Hatsune Miku crossed her right leg over her left and couldn't help but smile wryly at the sight of Accelerator.

Come to think of it, all my mission rewards have always been changes in clothing.

A magical futuristic outfit already has so many variations. There's the 2017 model with extremely balanced performance, and the 2018 model which mainly focuses on buffing and supporting teammates. Who knows, there might even be entirely new models.

However, I'm getting a little tired of wearing the same style of clothes. If possible, I'd really like to try a different style.

Thinking this, Hatsune Miku opened her system interface and gently tapped the open button with her index finger.

As expected, a brilliant light appeared.

A white stream of light engulfed the girl's body in one gulp. Accelerator, who was sitting to the side, was already used to this; it was an inevitable effect when the system activated the mission reward.

The familiar style of clothing once again appeared on the girl's entire body.

Accelerator shook his head, having basically guessed the outcome.

A colorful outfit instantly covered the girl's entire body, and this time, the cube's color changed again.

The cube, which already had a number of colors, now had more than seven colors.

The headband that looked like a hair accessory was transformed into a style with black headphones underneath, and the magic wand extended out, changing into the shape of a floor-standing microphone, but it was obvious that it could be changed at will.

Hatsune Miku's body curves are thus revealed. Compared to the previous two outfits, this one seems to have absorbed various styles from the previous two, showcasing a most perfect and beautiful posture.

Magical Future 2019.

The one that places the greatest emphasis on immense power represents the ultimate form of magic's future.

This enhances the effects of magic to specifically strengthen attack power, focusing on brute force output. The magic power is maximized, with its upper limit depending on the user's own mental strength limit. In contrast, the amplification effect on others and oneself will be reduced.

Magical Mirai

The form can be transformed according to the user's definition.

Current forms: 2017, 2018, and 2019.

The equipment has completed its most extreme transformation phase.

"Hmm...it still looks like this outfit."

Hatsune Miku couldn't resist running to the mirror, stretching her legs and arms, and examining herself in the mirror.

"How's it going, Yifang?"

"What else is there to say?"

"Eh~ Even though I know they're all the same style, saying that still makes me feel really disappointed."

As if to express her inner disappointment, Hatsune Miku couldn't help but show a slightly sad expression on her face.

"Oh, right, there seem to be special mission rewards after team battles too."

"Anything else? Anyway, whatever it is, it'll just be clothes, right?"

"Honestly, what's wrong with pretty clothes!"

That being said, does Accelerator really think that Hatsune Miku's only remaining reward from missions will be clothes?

The girl in front of him simply tapped the special mission rewards section with her finger.

Click.

The same radiance as before enveloped her body in one breath.

…Then.

The colorful clothing covering the entire body instantly transformed into another style.

"what?"

Even Hatsune Miku herself didn't expect this.

In that instant, a pentagram-like radiance enveloped her.

"Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?!"

She couldn't help but look around and discovered that the radiance had pierced through the ceiling in one breath.

This scene immediately made Accelerator's eyes widen.

"Hey! This will attract attention!"

If such a sudden event were to erupt in a world without any power system, Accelerator could already foresee the scale of chaos it would cause.

The pentagram's light instantly enveloped Hatsune Miku's body, causing her to float gently into the air.

Accelerator tried to rush over and grab her, but he passed right through her like a ghost.

At this moment, in Hatsune Miku's eyes.

—Eighty-eight rays of light condensed together.

And so, just like that, a unique form materialized directly in front of the girl.

*Pfft*

That was a pure white rabbit.

A miniature rabbit with a blue star-patterned scarf around its neck and a gold star decoration on its forehead.

It flew in mid-air, circling around Hatsune Miku.

Her attire suddenly transformed into some other form.

"This……"

The magic circle around the star converged and transformed into a magic wand with a golden star at the tip.

It was a dress that was dark blue.

The top was an armpit-revealing outfit with gold star patterns on the front, and below that was a blue short skirt and crystal-like high heels.

A pair of beautiful blue eyes seemed to contain starlight, faintly gazing at something like a star map.

All the forces converged and eventually transformed into tranquility.

Accelerator looked at everything in front of him with some surprise.

Having absorbed all the power, the girl, along with the white rabbit beside her, floated to the ground.

SnowMiku

It is mainly manifested in the power of miracles.

By transforming the user's spiritual power into miracles themselves, one can master all sorts of supernatural abilities to achieve the best possible results.

In addition, the equipment also has the function of switching modes.

Current form: Age 2017.

The functions that the 2017 age possessed.

They possess the ability to materialize the power of the stars into themselves, can directly use and manipulate the power of the eighty-eight constellations, and have the ability to manipulate the planets in the sky to perform miracles. Each constellation possesses completely different supernatural powers.

Summon your exclusive spirit, Snow Rabbit, which can directly control the power of most celestial bodies, with an effective range of up to 500 meters.

—This is the power that Hatsune Miku currently possesses.

"…Eh?"

She stood there and blinked.

"call out?"

Then, the pure white rabbit floating beside her—the Snow Rabbit—became her new companion.

The pure white rabbit nestled into the girl's arms, revealing a very gentle and harmonious expression.

Standing to one side, Accelerator was completely at a loss for words.

"From this perspective, the power has indeed been acquired..."

He couldn't help but scratch his head.

"But why is it always just changing clothes?"

A Certain Magical Index

Chapter 165 A Request That Was Forced to Be Made?

The two of them stood directly in the living room.

On the left is Accelerator, his arms crossed, still wearing the same white winter coat.

The one on the right is Hatsune Miku.

To be precise, it should be Hatsune Miku wearing a deep blue outfit that shines like stars.

"Really, it's unbelievable..."

Hatsune Miku clutched the outfit she was wearing, her face showing a look of utter astonishment.

"This outfit is one I wore during a previous live performance! Seriously, all the clothes I've ever worn have become rewards from the system!"

"call out--!"

"Ah! And this little bunny! I remember the project was called Yukine Rabbit, and I can't believe I can actually see it in the real world!"

"Whoosh~!"

Holding tightly to the Snow Rabbit flying in mid-air, Hatsune Miku smiled with great surprise while wearing an outfit called Snow Miku 2017.

Accelerator, who was standing to the side, looked over with some surprise.

Are you sure you've seen all of these before?

"Huh? Is there a problem?"

"No, I was just thinking about how many other projects you had that were capable of overturning the real science."

It's already incredible that it can fly in mid-air, but what's even more incredible is that this rabbit seems to understand human speech.

This has already gone beyond the boundaries of what is generally understood.

The little white rabbit named Yukine Rabbit turned its head, blinked, and looked at Accelerator, only to be met with his indifferent expression.

Although rabbits all have red eyes, Accelerator's eyes, which are as clear as pigeon blood, brought an unimaginable sense of oppression to Yukine Rabbit.

It hid behind Hatsune Miku in the instant it exclaimed in surprise.

"You've scared the child."

"Tsk, that's really troublesome."
