...a nerd! Edwin came to this decision after looking at the stats that had just loaded for Jack.
Name: Jack Russell
Age: 11 years, 2 months
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Height: 4'9
Weight: 92 lbs
Body type: Athletic
As the tallest and largest kid in the class, it was no wonder Jack had an easy time bullying most of the kids in his class, especially the boy he was targeting right now. What also helped was that Jack was the oldest kid in class, being born in early January. Edwin would hate to imagine what Jack would be like as he got older, especially if he was the same age as Edwin originally was. The childish side of Edwin wanted to change Jack in the worst way possible, but what was left of his older mindset felt bad about possibly ruining Jack's life. However, it was the heat of the moment for Edwin, and he definitely didn't want to get tormented by a boy who is now 3 months older than him. Ignoring his conscience and his older mindset, Edwin set up the following changes on Jack before activating the changes.
Jack was ready to pummel Edwin to the ground, with his cronies backing him up. He was ready to land the first punch, but not before saying one final thing to Edwin. "It's time I show a smart-ass like you your place, nerd!" The voice that came out of Jack's mouth came as a shock as it sounded different from his usual voice. "What the heck was that? Did you do this?!" Jack shouted as his voice started becoming more nasally and a bit feminine. "You okay, Jack?" one crony asked, while another shouted, "Don't let that shrimp beat you!" The word 'shrimp' made Edwin cringe a little as it reminded him that he is among the shortest kids in class. "Am I really the shrimp, or is it really Jack?" Edwin asked right before the whole class witnessed Jack's body changing.
Before the eyes of the entire class, Jack started to shrink and lose his athletic appearance. In seconds, he was already shorter than his cronies and his latest target. His body, which used to look like a jock before puberty, was thinning and his skin becoming more pale. His sports jersey and shorts were replaced with a plaid shirt and slack, with his shoe-lace sneakers replaced with Velcro shoes. Before he knew it, Jack realized that he was now wearing glasses, and thick ones at that. Jack started to panic as he realized that even Edwin, who his cronies referred to as a shrimp just a moment ago, was taller than him. Adding insult to injury, there was a giant wet spot that suddenly appeared on Jack's new slacks. "Did Jack just piss himself?" one kid asked before the entire class bursted into laughter. Edwin reviewed the changes made as the rest of the class was distracted with Jack's wetting, taking pride in the fact that he showed the class bully his place.
Name: Jack Russell
Age: 10 years, 3 months
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Homosexual
Height: 4'3
Weight: 60 lbs
Body type: Scrawny
To teach Jack a lesson in being nicer to others, he wanted to make Jack the shortest and scrawniest kid in class. Jack's nerdy appearance was an obvious change, but Edwin applied that change outside of the clothes, with Jack's interests changing from sports to science and cosplay. Though still a 5th grader, Edwin made Jack several months younger by changing his birthday from early January to December 31st. Aside from those changes, Edwin made some last-minute touches that even he didn't know the Chronivac was capable of. Jack wetting himself was a result of Edwin slightly altering his personality, which means that Jack now scares easily. The Velcro shoes were a last-minute touch for added humiliation as every other kid was wearing shoes that have shoelaces. Edwin was going to include another change that would have left Jack with asthma, but his older mindset intervened as it would have been crossing the line. One final change Edwin added was a change to Jack's sexuality. Edwin's new memories of this reality told him that Jack had also bullied kids that he suspected were gay, including a friend that Edwin remembered having that was pushed on the verge of suicide. The kid ended up being transferred to a different school and had to get therapy to cope.
Jack turned to his cronies, now having to look up at them and on the verge of tears. "Guys, can't you do something about that freak?" Jack asked desperately, hating the sound of his new voice. "Why would we want to help you, Jack? Well, unless you want us to pummel you," one crony replied as he cracked his knuckles. However, another crony stepped in and replied, "It's not worth it to beat Jack up." It came as a relief to Jack as he thought his cronies would have mercy, only for that to be quickly dashed. "I mean, he still can't tie his shoes and he just wet his pants. We would look like total jerks to beat up a baby like Jack!" The conversation quickly dispersed as the teacher returned to the class, oblivious to what just happened. Jack intended to tell the teacher what Edwin just did, but he was worried that Edwin might retaliate.
Edwin didn't care that his immaturity was taking over because he was starting to like his new reality just as much as he liked being younger. While class was in session, Edwin had another look at the changes made on himself, and added another element to this change. As he was enjoying being a kid again, he set this change to permanent in case he wanted to either grow up the natural way or return to being a teen whenever he decides that he has had enough. The morning lessons did involve actual schoolwork, but it wasn't as overwhelming as before the changes. That, however, did come with Edwin realizing that he actually did have to relearn the lessons as his brain capacity and skills were reduced upon getting younger. Edwin also noticed that Jack, who would normally be a disruption in class, didn't say a single word all morning.
The day went as normal until morning recess started, and Edwin's mischievous grin grew at the realization that he just changed another person entirely. Of course, Edwin's childish mindset didn't remind him of the moral and potentially legal issues that came with the Chronivac, and one would think that the power was already getting to his head. He then thought about what he wanted to do during recess. Using the Chronivac on someone else sounded fun, or maybe he wanted to give the Chronivac a break and try actually being a kid for a while. He could also talk to Jack in his reduced state, which he only considered thanks to his older mindset feeling bad for Jack.
