You were an ordinary 19 year old young man, trying to get accepted into a college. While you had failed to be accepted by most of your top choices, your 21 year old sister Sarah had brought an interesting option to your attention: It was the same school she was going to, Micro Academy. According to her, while female students had to pass a very difficult entrance exam to get in, male students were allowed in regardless of qualifications!
Apparently, all a male needed to do to be accepted was sign up, and they were in! Not only that but they were allowed to attend free of charge! You asked your older sister why the discrimination between males and females at her school, but she refused to tell you that. She would only giggle and say that it was a secret. While you thought the whole thing was fairly suspicious, you were getting desperate with all of your previous options having turned you down.
You decided after careful consideration that you would accept her offer and apply to her school. The next morning, you let your sister take you to the school and show you around. The tour turned went incredibly well, and you absolutely loved the campus. From what you had seen of it, there were beautiful girls in every direction you looked. Strangely enough, however, you didn't see a single male on campus despite the incredible offer for them.
At the end of your tour, Sarah showed you to the office building where you met the principal. She was a stunning young woman with short black hair named Mrs. Aurora, who was likely around 36 years old, but whose flawless figure and beautiful appearance in general made her look as though she stopped aging at 25. Mrs. Aurora greeted you with a can of soda, which although you found somewhat strange, you accepted politely. After drinking the soda, you were provided with a stack of textbooks for all of your classes. Mrs. Aurora then handed you what appeared to be a miniature set of the same textbooks, as well as a tiny PE uniform. The miniature gear looked like it would only be usable by someone at 3 inches tall, but you accepted it as well without ever questioning it. You and your sister then went home to prepare for school together.

the next day
----------------------
You had just finished getting dressed and packing your backpack, and Sarah told you to give the tiny set of school equipment to her. As you were busy getting ready for your first day of college, you didn't have time to wonder why she wanted them. You simply handed them to her and continued preparing. When you were finally ready, you and your big sister left to head to Micro Academy together.
After a bit of driving, you and Sarah finally reached your destination. However, this was when things got really weird. As soon as you set foot on campus, you felt your body beginning to shrink in size! Within mere moments, you had been reduced to a pathetic 3 inches tall! At least your clothes had shrunken with you, but as you tried to take a step backwards, you felt an invisible wall against your back! You immediately looked up at Sarah in a mixture of fear and confusion before asking her what was going on.
"What gives Sarah, why am I so tiny all of a sudden?!"
Your now-literally big sister simply giggled and plucked you off the ground, placing you into the palm of her hand before answering you.
"Oh, silly little brother... Why do you think that this school is called Micro Academy? It's because all the male students here get shrunken when they set foot on campus! You'll automatically grow back after school is over for the day, but until then you'll stay tiny. That barrier you felt against your back earlier is a safety precaution: until you return to normal size, that barrier keeps you from leaving the campus. After all, just imagine all the danger you could get into if you left school at this size, little bro!"
"B-but how?!"
"You remember that 'soda' that the principal gave you?"
"Uh, yes..."
"Well, that soda is a special mixture that reacts with some weird transmitter that we've got in the middle of the campus. It's given to all the male students when they enter, and it modifies their bodies so that they shrink when they come into contact with the special electrical waves that are given off by that transmitter. Then you stay tiny until the transmitter gets turned off again at the end of the day. I don't understand all the sciency stuff behind it, but I do know that it's really cool!"
"Cool?! What part of this is cool?! Come on Sarah, why didn't you tell me about this sooner?! I could seriously get killed here!"
"Jeez bro, calm down! Don't worry, you won't have to worry about anything! As long as you stay in the transmitter's range, your cute little body can't be crushed or anything! You'll just pop back up like a little cartoon character if someone were to step on you or something. And that's exactly where the barrier comes in; since it keeps you from leaving campus while you're small, you won't be able to leave the transmitter's range until you return to normal again. So you see? Everything is perfectly safe here!"
"Ugh... Well, I guess I don't have any other arguments then... Just promise that you'll keep me safe, okay?"
