Dead Man Walking: Living By Day, Dead By Night

While of average height before his transformation, Zane was now tall by American standards, quite tall indeed. And his jawline had improved, looking as if it were chiseled out of marble in the visage of the ancient Greek gods.

The sudden change in the appearance of the boy which Elena had once been so close too was too much for her mind to handle. And all she could do was sit there in embarrassment while blushing like a schoolgirl who had fallen head over heels for her teacher.

It was after several moments of hearing her own heart beat rapidly that Elena realized she must have been seeing things, and thus she sprinted through the halls looking for a second set of eyes that could verify what she had seen.

---

Zane had no idea that Elena had run off after Olivia in search of someone, could verify that she had not gone insane. Instead, he was staring at his own handsome face in the mirror with an expression of disbelief. Before, he was by no means an ugly young man, but he was far from what one might call handsome.

But the shift in his bone structure had become more robust, and thus more attractive. He had no idea how this had happened, and could only assume it was the result of the system.

Now whether this physical transformation was the result of his skill [Dead Man Walking] which already had some transformative effects on his body, like a decrease in the amount of food and water he needed to consume, or the amount of sleep he needed to function properly.

Or was instead the result of him adding to his strength attributes, Zane did not know. Perhaps it was even a blend of the two. What Zane did know, is that there was no way his old clothes were going to fit him now…. Because of this, he sighed heavily and spoke his thoughts aloud to nobody in particular.

"Shit… I\'m going to need to go out and search for new clothes now, aren\'t I?"

Surprisingly, Zane\'s voice had even been affected by the physical transformation. As it was now deeper and more masculine than before. This was also shocking to the young man, who had previously had an average pitched voice.

It was in the next moment that the door to the men\'s restroom burst open, drawing Zane\'s attention to two particularly beautiful women who stood in the doorway. One was of course Elena, who was timidly hiding behind Olivia\'s back, refusing to even look directly at Zane\'s new physique, while also scanning it with her peripheral vision.

As for Olivia, the moment she saw Zane\'s transformation, her jaw dropped to the floor, as she stood there in disbelief while thinking something that she should not be thinking.

\'Holy shit…. Is that Zane? When did he suddenly grow up so spectacularly? And how did he suddenly become so attractive? Wait Olivia, bad girl! You can\'t be thinking of your students like this!

What is wrong with you!?! Just because the world is coming to an end, doesn\'t mean you should ever cross that line!\'

Zane stood there staring at the two women, both of them who were blushing profusely, where he quickly recollected his signature uncaring gaze, all the while asking them why they were gawking at him.

"What? Have neither of you ever seen a man in his underpants before…"

It was only then that Zane realized something…. His underpants? There was no way they still fit him, right?

He quickly looked down, and realized that indeed his boxer shorts were now clingy tightly to his lower body, which revealed that his muscles and stature were not the only things that had grown… Upon realizing this himself, Zane finally realized why the two women were blushing so profusely, and simply sighed heavily, before pushing them out of the bathroom altogether.

"Out… Now!"

Olivia and Elena did not dare disobey, and were instead quick to ask Zane what they wanted him to do.

"Do you want us to get you some clothes?"

Zane\'s voice sounded full of exhaustion as he spoke from the other side of the door.

"I highly doubt they will fit now, but sure, go fetch my clothes for me…"

After hearing Zane say this, Olivia and Elena scurried off into the halls, whispering quietly to one another, perhaps afraid Zane would hear them as they did so.

"So I\'m not seeing things… That\'s Zane, right?"

Olivia nodded her head. There was still an embarrassed expression on her pretty face as she tried to get the image of her half naked student out of her head. Ultimately, causing her to flush red even more than she shook her head. Before confirming that indeed Elena was seeing reality.

"That\'s definitely him… He may be hot now, but I have only ever seen one man with eyes that cold…"

Elena froze on the spot while Olivia continued to move forward, not even realizing that her other student had stopped in place. It was not until Elena reached out and grabbed Olivia\'s wrist, thus pulling the mature beauty back a few steps, did Olivia realize this.

There was an odd expression on Elena\'s face as she looked at the floor while violently gripping Olivia\'s wrist, instinctively applying a certain degree of strength that made the older woman uncomfortable. Which Olivia was quick to express.

"Ouch.. ouch… ouch… Elena, you\'re hurting me!"

However, Elena\'s voice was chilling, almost like Zane when he was in a murderous state, as she spoke up with an even more frightening smile on her otherwise gorgeous face.

"I\'m sorry… I thought I just heard you say that Zane was hot, and a man now… You wouldn\'t be having any inappropriate thoughts about one of your students, now would you, Miss Bennett?"

The fact that Elena was back to calling her by her last name, which was something the girl stopped doing after the apocalypse had begun, and the two of them grew closer, led Olivia to believe that Elena was furious over what was just said.

Something that Olivia had just blurted out had suddenly put her in a compromising position, as she too realized that she had referred to Zane as a man, whereas in the past, she would treat him like a boy. Thus, the two women halted their quest to fetch Zane\'s clothes, almost as if they were about to have a catfight over him.
