Stephan just smiled as Madame Illusia examined the scrawny boy from head to toe while she questioned him about his wish.
"You want to become buff, huh?" she smiled. "Please, tell me, why do you want to be buff? And, what do you mean by becoming 'buff'?"
"I... Uhh... Well... I get picked on at school, because I'm so skinny and weak, you know what I mean?" the boy replied shyly.
"You get picked on?" she wondered.
"Yeah... other guys who are bigger and stronger than me tease me and shove me around or push me against the floor all the time..." the boy explained.
"Oh, well that's not very nice of them, is it?" Madame replied.
"No... And then they hurt my friends, too..." the boy continued, in a sad tone of voice. "They really make it hard for me to go to school..."
"That's not good... You have to go to school in order to learn things..." Madame Illusia responded. "Now, tell me, what's your name?"
"Jay... My name's Jay..." he replied.
"Listen, Jay... If I make your muscles bigger, that means you'll become much stronger than you are right now. Do you understand that?"
"Yeah..."
"But you're not going to use YOUR strength to torment OTHER kids in school now, are you?" Madame Illusia asked in a stern tone of voice.
"Oh, no! No, no! I'll defend my friends from those thugs! But I don't like to fight, at all!" Jay replied earnestly.
"Good... Well I can see in your heart that you really mean that, which means that I'll give you some additional growth. You earned it." Madame Illusia smiled.
"R-really?"
"Yes, you'll become twice as muscular as I had originally planned, meaning you'll be the strongest boy -by far - at your school. Do you like that?"
"Oh, yes! That would be awesome!" Jay replied with a wide grin.
Madame Illusia waved her hand and Jay's t-shirt and jeans disappeared, leaving him standing on the stage wearing just his underwear. People could clearly see how short and how skinny he was, with his thin arms, flat stomach and small chest showing bare before the entire audience.
"Whoa!" Jay gasped, as he looked down and realized that he was almost naked on stage.
"Now, you're muscles will begin to inflate and allow your strength to increase dramatically!" Madame Illusia said out loud. "Here comes Jay the muscle boy!"
Immediately, Jay's arms began to thicken while his biceps started to grow. His pectorals pushed outwards and forwards, pushing his shoulders outwards while his upper body became wider. His lats extended further, in order to support his widening shoulders and thicker arms.
"Ooooh man!" Jay whimpered, as he felt his strength increase.
"Ooooooh.... Aaaaahhhh" came from the crowd, as the audience witnessed the boy's amazing transformation from a scrawny kid to a strapping athlete.
Jay's flat stomach morphed into a large washboard with rows and columns of bighty abdominals while his mighty pectorals grew into large spheres of rock-solid masses of power. His legs widened and thickened at the same time as well, with his quads growing new layers of muscle, which had thick veins creeping to the surface. And finally, his calves ballooned to the size of soccer balls, giving him the look of a professional soccer player.
"Uhhhhhh!" Jay groaned of pleasure, as he continued to feel his strength increase all throughout his entire body while his muscles continued to inflate.
Madame Illusia wasn't done. Jay now looked like an athlete, but his muscles continued to grow even bigger, making the boy resemble a junior bodybuilder.
Just before the boy reached the point of immobility, the muscle inflation stopped. His growth allowed his muscles to nearly max out, and Madame Illusia made sure the boy became as strong as possible, without making him any taller.
"Holy crap!" Jay gasped, as he looked down. He flexed his right arm, allowing a massive ball of muscle to pop up on top of his upper arm. "I'm freaking HUGE!"
"If I made you any bigger, you couldn't move, my boy..." Madame Illusia said, as she smiled while she surveyed her handiwork. "Ahhh, I just love growing muscles on a fine young man like this one. What do you think, people?"
The crowd got on its feed to a thundering applause as they cheered on the young muscle-boy, as he slowly strutted of the stage.
"Whoa... I'm gonna tell my friends about this!" Jay thought to himself.
"Another happy customer!" Stephan said out loud. "Who's next?"
