Overwatch U is a prestigious institute whose students go on to be some of the most successful people in the world. But the school is brutally strict and frequently uses shrinking technology as punishment, with many students never being seen again. Despite the danger countless men and woman sign up for the school confident in their ability to pass, unaware that even well behaved students are at risk of disappearing thanks to catching a teacher's eye. Especially the male students, since a few of the female teachers secretly believe the male gender to be inferior and take any chance they can to shrink more hapless men to keep as slaves.
Professor Ziegler is one of those teachers, better known as Miss Mercy out of irony, and has even sold some of her favorite female students on her worldview as well and gifts them tiny playthings despite school policy. Today however she has an actually misbehaving student to set her sights on, who nodding off in the middle of her lecture. Either unaware of her and the schools reputation or simply too burnt-out to keep his eyes open despite the danger, Miss Mercy was just pleased at the opportunity of adding a new slave to her collection. If she did decide to shrink him she would either toss him into her shoes for later or slide him into her tights during a bathroom break, neither option would be pleasant for the foolish boy but she hardly cared for that. She used her tiny toys in a variety of ways but her favorite and go to position for new tinies was somewhere beneath her feet, both for the symbolism and from greatly enjoying the feeling of their pathetic squirming against her soles.
The shrunken students trapped within Miss Mercy's stockings suffer through and endless hell of sweat, pressure and stench as the uncaring teacher goes about her lesson. A lucky few are only imprisoned as a temporary punishment, whose scarring torture will lead them to throw themselves into their schoolwork with new passion. But even taking the message to heart it will still be difficult to catch up after missing classes from being smothered under giant feet, and some of the unlucky souls will join the permanent occupants of her foul footwear...
One might assume that the tinies within her shoes had an easier time, at least on days like today when Miss Mercy decided to air out her feet while she teaches. But a single whiff of her toxic footwear would quickly disillusion you, partial freedom from the weight of her foot was nowhere near worth enduring such a hellish odor. Her tights were at least changed every day or so and washed, but she had worn the same pair of shoes for three long grueling years of teaching without even spraying them once. A few of her shrunken prisoners were glued fast to the grody insoles thanks to the grime and sweat that adorned them, some had been trapped like that for just a day or so while some had been melded with the disgusting surface for too long to remember. One of her more recent additions was luckily still free from his comrades fate, but instead of lapping away at his filthy prison like his giantess had suggested he was currently pondering an escape attempt. The older tinies looked on blandly with the knowledge of how far he would get, and how much he would regret it once he was caught. Even if Miss Mercy was too busy to look down and spot him one of her students would, and either tell her or snatch him for themselves. While she gifted tinies out to some students there were still plenty itching to get their hands on one, and she had already strongly suggested that loose tinies were fair game to any that caught them. A few of her tinies escaped while knowing this in hope of landing a more gentle owner, but their were enough rumor's abound about what some of their former colleagues would do to tinies that they were a minority...
