Ben regretted having to adjust his mind that way, but with his parents not exactly being in favor of him using medicine, he saw no other way - though he had no such regrets about his body. He wasn't exactly a bodybuilder, but he was now strong, muscular, and lean. More aesthetics than mass by any means. Ben looked in the mirror - his nerdy disheveled black hair remained, that at least hadn't changed. And his glasses remained though he didn't need them as badly. Huh, a muscular guy with glasses was actually pretty appealing looking now that he looked at himself. Maybe he could have better romantic options now.
A quick flex for the mirror and Ben found himself enamored...
And then Ben looked at his facebook. On there he saw so many of his fellow students still making jokes about him, as he had not adjusted reality at all. The now shirtless Ben took a seat and considered what he could do about this. Of course he knew who the ringleader of his online and in person harassment on all the local forums was. Bradley Denning, the local hunk - a crew cut blond haired hot bastard. Brad took tremendous glee in rubbing the fact that he went out with the girl Ben liked in Ben's face whenever possible - though obviously not when she was around.
Not many girls enjoyed being a spite date after all. And by all indications Bradley and Sue were still going out. She had utterly no idea it seemed of his true character. He projected such a sweetheart vibe when he was around her. Only to then turn it around and be vicious as soon as she wasn't looking.
Then there was Tyler Graham, Hector Lodger, Brent "Brick" Wallace, and the other members of their gross little clique that more or less ruled the school due to the combination of athleticism and personal charisma. All were on the Varsity team, and every single spirit week, the entire school had to get together to celebrate the achievements of the four meanest young men the school had ever seen. It was grating enough that Ben had considered asking his parents to try sending him to a different school over the issue.
They of course being how they were instead said he just "needed to be more friendly", "nobody likes a negative nancy", and "just be their friend! Maybe they're having bad days!" Ben felt like rolling his eyes. Fat chance of them just HAPPENING to have a bad day every single day of every single week of every month.
So maybe he needed to do something more with the Chronivac.
Do something to teach the bullies of his school a lesson. He did remember, going as far back as Freshman PE where they were brought in as "example students" (blech) they were vain sons of bitches. Always taking opportunities to flex. And always reaching for more compliments on their bodies. They did well on their sport, and they demanded to have that validated every moment possible.
And yet. It seemed like the nerdy guys were the only ones that had a problem with it. Everyone else flattered them, wore gear on spirit week proclaiming their love for the team. And if you happened to say something bad about them? Well, obviously, the problem rested with you, not them! You were just not a team player!
So with that in mind Ben decided to broaden the penalty.
He didn't know if the Chronivac could handle this, but when he saw "Category Transformation" and "Mass Transformation", he knew it could under the options listed. Ben went ahead and pulled down the settings under Mass Transformation - seeing it could indeed handle many transformations on a select group, or even anyone outside a certain group. So Ben went to work. They wanted muscle, to be strong and on and on? Well, Ben had an idea.
Pervert what they wanted.
He set up the change such that over the course of 10 days, all the non-nerd clique men at the school would undergo two distinct transformations. They would put on 5 lbs of muscle every day on a baseline, with an additional 5 lbs if that person worked out, thus resulting in 10 lbs of total muscle gained every day on baseline. But that was just to entice them not to worry. To prioritize the gains over the worry about what else was happening.
Because the other transformation would, over the course of those ten days, transform all those growing men at the school into women. They'd be regular Amazons, but they'd end up women by the end of it - and considering how much the jocks and their enablers cared about masculinity and the school's "image" respectively... He set the change to last for an entire month. See if that did anything to them. He knew he was probably being a bit spiteful with this. But honestly he was just done with their BS.
And with that, Ben got the transformation started...
