A newbie's anime life diary

(Level E represents the average person)

Looking at this attribute, Xuehui wasn't too surprised. He had sensed the power of this body after he woke up. Although it was healthy, it was still within the range of an ordinary person.

As for the range of variation in the Strength, Agility, and Charisma attributes, that was due to the trickery of the prizes I won in this lottery.

Current Ability: Magical Girl Homura Akemi. Gains the abilities and skills of Magical Girl Homura Akemi. Can transform into a magical girl to gain powerful strength, and attribute values ​​can undergo huge changes (this ability does not include Homura Akemi's Reincarnation ability).

That's right, he was a grown man, a handsome young man in the prime of his youth, who actually gained the ability to become a magical girl!

I'm happy to have gained these abilities, but I'm a magical girl!

Although Homura Akemi is very beautiful, with an S-rank charm rating, she is a magical girl!

"Hey, system, can I return this?"

"The extracted abilities have been integrated and are non-refundable. Host, there is no good or bad in power; just be strong."

"But you can't just make her a magical girl!!! And why should a grown man like me get this kind of ability?!"

"..."

"Um, system? Is it still there?"

"...Ding! Side quest activated. Quest objective: Escape the kidnappers' clutches on your own."

Completion Reward: 500 Exchange Points

Penalty for failure: being killed.

Then, after a barely perceptible lag, another task appeared in the task list.

"Additional objective: Earn 50 redemption points for each kidnapper killed (optional)."

"What an awkward change of topic. Your system must be intelligent! Sigh, and the way it wipes out everything if you fail... But I just happen to have some pent-up anger."

As he spoke, Xuehui opened his eyes, which were flashing with a strange red light, and looked at the kidnappers who had tied him up and were surrounding him.

A few meters in front of him, the kidnapper who was clearly the leader was making a phone call.

"Hmph, we've already investigated. If you want this brat to live, prepare a ransom of 50 million! Don't have it? Ha, do you think I'd believe that? I'm only giving you six hours. Also, don't try to call the police, or you'll never see this brat again!"

"Snap!" After hanging up the phone, the kidnapper leader turned around and saw Hiratsuka Yukiteru staring at him.

"Hey kid, you're awake. How are you feeling?"

Why did you kidnap me?

"Ha, you're quite calm. Isn't this a rhetorical question? Of course it's about the money! Your parents passed away, and the company went bankrupt, but they left you a large inheritance. Such a good piece of meat, of course we have to grab it! In the end, it's just that you're unlucky to have run into a few brothers who are short of money."

Hearing the kidnapper leader's words, Xuehui didn't reply, but turned to look around. The area outside the factory seemed quite open, so it must be in the suburbs.

Looking at the kidnappers in front of him, whose only visible feature was a pair of ferocious eyes, Xuehui asked with a strange smile, "Are there only six of you in total?"

"What do you mean by laughing, you little brat? What, you think there aren't enough people? If there are too many, the ransom won't be enough to go around. Kid, don't try to run away, you can't escape. Just wait for someone to come and ransom you. I heard your distant cousin is quite the beauty? If she comes, the brothers can have a good time, hahaha!!!!"

When the topic turned to something that all men understand, the kidnappers around them burst into laughter.

Xuehui knew who they were talking about, but didn't react much. He simply said, "Six? That's 800 points if you include them. It seems we have no choice but to take action for the sake of our future."

"Make a move? Haha, kid, don't talk big! What can you do now?" The kidnapper leader said arrogantly, pulling out a pistol from his waist and pressing it against Xuehui's forehead.

Little did they know, at that very moment, a figure that had been sleeping had already awakened and was watching everything before him with great interest through Xuehui's perspective.

"Hey, do you guys believe that magic exists in this world?"

Before anyone could react, Xuehui was suddenly illuminated by a dazzling light.

All the kidnappers couldn't help but raise their hands to shield their eyes from the blinding light.

The light came and went quickly; in just a few seconds, when everyone realized what was happening, the chair in front of them was already empty.

"I'm really not used to this."

Looking in the direction of the sound, the kidnappers were all stunned.

She had long, black hair that reached her waist, was 1.6 meters tall, and wore a light purple lotus-patterned skirt, black plaid stockings, and black high heels.

This is the form of Homura Akemi, the magical girl, after Yukiteru transforms.

Looking at his outfit, Xuehui felt a strange sensation. Despite being a boy, he didn't feel uncomfortable wearing high heels at all, and his aversion to dresses was much lower than he had imagined.

"It seems that after transforming, I've been affected by a part of Homura Akemi's personality. I feel like my personality has become a bit more subdued."

Looking up at the stunned kidnappers, Xuehui flicked his hands, and two Desert Eagles appeared in his hands, a dangerous smile appearing on his lips.

"With your current strength, this weapon is easy to use. I didn't want to do anything more, but what you said angered me, so, may I ask you to die?"

With a flash, Xuehui arrived in front of the kidnapper leader before anyone could react. Just like the other party had done before, he pressed the Desert Eagle against the leader's forehead and gently pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

Please add my new book to your favorites!

Chapter 3: First Encounter with Hiratsuka Shizuka (How many times has this been revised?)

With the sound of gunshots and the fall of the kidnapper leader, the other five kidnappers finally reacted.

One of the kidnappers yelled, "Forget what it is! Shoot, shoot!!!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Gunshots rang out in the remote factory, but every shot missed its mark.

After transforming, Yukiteru's agility has reached B, which is beyond description compared to the E of an ordinary person. In addition, Homura Akemi's unique time-stopping ability means that even if Yukiteru is not yet used to using it, a few pistols will still be unable to hit him.

Each flash of light, each shot fired, represents the fall of a kidnapper.

Finally, the gunfire stopped. Xuehui put away his two Desert Eagles and stood in the now empty factory, his face pale.

As his nerves relaxed, the transformation ended, and Yukiteru reverted to his previous boy form.

Sprawled on the ground, Xuehui gasped for breath, the effects of his transformation gradually becoming apparent.

Homura Akemi's abilities are undeniably powerful; in the original work, the various weapons she possesses materialize and become usable after transforming. However, the cost is equally enormous. Unlike in the original work, Yukiteru's transformation doesn't involve her soul separating from her body and attaching to the Soul Gem after becoming a magical girl. Instead, all her abilities are consumed at the cost of her own physical strength.

Despite having no magic, he used the ability to stop time and remained conscious after the battle, making this transformation very cost-effective.

Looking at the corpses scattered all over the ground, Xuehui suddenly realized what was happening, his pupils contracted sharply, and his heart began to pound.

What did I just do?

Aside from dissecting frogs in biology class, when have I ever done any kind of work on my own?

Murder? Absolutely not!

"Could this be a change brought about by the transformation? Has it made me indifferent to human life? And after a while, I didn't even have much of a reaction... It seems I shouldn't use this ability anymore. I should put it away and find an opportunity to use something else."

After resting for about ten minutes, Xuehui stood up, went to the side of the dead kidnapper leader, and, suppressing the eerie feeling, took out his phone that had been taken from him.

He turned on the phone, brought up his contacts, and dialed the number of the woman named "Hiratsuka Shizuka".

The call was answered within seconds of dialing.

A voice, laced with suppressed anger, rang out: "I'm already preparing the ransom. What else do you want?"

Hearing that unusually familiar voice, Xuehui took a deep breath and said, "Cousin, it's me."

"...Xuehui? How did you get the phone? What about the kidnappers?" The woman seemed surprised to hear his voice.

“Um…” Xuehui said, looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, “They’re all dead.”

"Dead?!?"

"Ah, a masked guy suddenly appeared and killed them all. I think he was looking for revenge or something. Now I'm the only one left here."

"Where are you now?" came an urgent voice.

Xuehui walked to the factory gate, looked around, and said, "It should not be far from Chiba City, but there are no houses around. This is an abandoned small factory."

"The surrounding area... small factories... I understand. It's good that you're staying there. I'll come find you right away." Then the call ended.

Looking at his phone, which showed the communication was interrupted, Xuehui gave a helpless smile: "Just as I thought, she's in a hurry. Hiratsuka Shizuka, is she really my cousin? This world is truly amazing."

That's right. After this phone call and the memories of Xuehui's predecessor, she was able to confirm who this woman was. She was Hiratsuka Shizuka, the violent, hot-blooded, older unmarried female teacher from the light novel Oregairu.

I feel like there are a lot more strange titles now?

That being said, Yukihiro didn't know much about Hiratsuka Shizuka in his memory. The only person he knew in his family was Shizuka's mother, who was also Yukihiro's cousin. The two were only distant cousins. Although the Hiratsuka family was considered a prestigious family, his father was only a distant relative. Although he had some ability and had started a company over the years, that was all.

Some time ago, the plane carrying the parents crashed, killing them both. Then, the company, without a leader, went from bad to worse and eventually collapsed. Xuehui's predecessor went from a wealthy boy to having nothing. Although his parents left behind a large inheritance, due to bank debts, funeral expenses, and future living arrangements, little was left of the inheritance.

The original owner of this body was also unlucky. Despite not having much wealth left, these matters did not spread, leading to him being targeted and kidnapped. He died in panic and exhaustion, and was then instantly possessed by Ye Xiaotian, who had transmigrated from another world, thus becoming the current Hiratsuka Yukiteru.

"Hey, System, do special abilities exist in this world?" While waiting, Xuehui sat in a chair, communicating with the system in his mind.

"In any world, there are more or less things that are beyond our comprehension; the only difference is whether humans can perceive them," came the system's emotionless voice.

Xuehui nodded knowingly after hearing this: "So that means this world still exists. It seems that the ability I exchanged for now, although it's incredibly embarrassing and has some negative consequences, is still somewhat useful in times of crisis."

Immediately afterwards, Xuehui began to examine the functions of the system.

With the completion of the first task, the first 800 exchange points were obtained, and the exchange function in the system was also activated.

The redeemable items can be categorized into items, abilities, equipment, and technology.

Each category contains two types: daily and exceptional.

In terms of abilities, everyday abilities include common ones like tennis mastery and combat proficiency, while abnormal abilities include powers seen in various novels, anime, and games, such as exorcism magic, elemental magic, and even overpowered abilities like the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

Of course, while the ability is powerful, the required exchange price is also astronomical. As long as it is classified as an abnormal exchange item, its price is more than 10 times that of the daily exchange item.

Based on the fact that I gained exchange points by killing enemies in previous missions, I might be able to obtain a large number of exchange points if I could kill some anomalous creatures in this world. Otherwise, I might not be able to obtain those anomalous items for a long time.

However, Xuehui is only thinking about these things for now. Compared to his powerful abilities, he believes that what is more important now is how to survive in this unfamiliar world.

In short, it's about money.

He was practically penniless. Although he had an apartment here to ensure he wouldn't end up homeless, his memory showed that he only had 15 yen in his bank account, which was less than 1 yuan. In Japan, a country with extremely high prices, he couldn't survive for long without a stable source of income.

"Looks like I need to find a way to make money. This system is really something; it can exchange for so many things, but it just can't exchange them for money..."
