It's been more than half a year since the last jock season ended and a few months before the start of a new one, however society is facing a big dilemma related to it. There's an overpopulation of hunters and an alarming shortage of jocks.
After hearing about the jock trophies that can be molded through magic into almost anything they want, nerds, outcastes, fraternities, feminists and a lot more of people was eager to join the next season. However, new generations of guys also heard about it and from their perspective, being hunted and collected as trophies sounded way more humiliating than honorable.
So, those guys who could be potential new jocks started to drop from sport teams, miss physical education classes or simply avoiding playing football, soccer or any other game that could relate them with jocks.
Hunting communities got the idea of increasing the age range to be considered a suitable jock. However, guys above 25 years old weren't affected by magic and they can't be turned into trophies, statues, etc. On the other hand, several activist groups were completely against the proposal of using underage young men.
The next jock season was almost cancelled when a scientist group from Germany developed a solution. After an extensive research they managed to develop a serum, something similar to a vaccine that can turn any human male into a jock. Of course, they can't go against the mysterious magic force that limited the age for a jock to be under 25 years old.
But the serum can give any underage the body and mind of an adult, so it was approved to use it on boys with their parents consent. It's still illegal to use it on babies and toddlers but any other kid was suitable for that.
I was very interested on that serum because I knew of several guys who were trying badly to don't be considered as jocks, people who made fun of me last year and now could feel what I felt for so many months.
According to the jock season's rules, once a jock you're always a jock, so I knew my destiny was to be part of it for a few more years. So, this year I am more than ready to survive, I've being training a lot, honing my survival skills and even getting used to be seen naked more often. I'm determined to endure way more time and not being hunted by a 12 years old kid.
There's only one month left before next jock season starts so I was expecting to get a mail telling me I've been chosen again. My father was expecting that too, however, he was eager for something else too. Something that we didn't know until the mail arrived one morning.
My letter arrived and I took it without fear this time, it was a challenge and now I was ready. While I was thinking about myself, I didn't notice that my father had another letter. No one in our house knew what it has but we can he in my father's expression that he was very happy in that moment.
He opened the letter and took a small vial from it. Then he read it out loud. Then, I understood why he was happy because I was happy too. My little brother had been chosen to be part of a experimental group of boys who will be turned into jocks.
I remember how many times Jase had told everyone he wanted to be a jock like me to join jock season, however now that it was a reality, the expression in his face wasn't of happiness. He seemed genuinely worried.
