Zero got up and said, “You probably need some time to think about what you just heard so I'll take my leave now. I’ll come to see you again in 3 days.”
Zero exited the room and teleported to the warehouse housing the human bodies and the newly created witch souls. Zero looked at the 3,000 bodies needing resurrection in front of him and sighed. He figured that he would be stuck here all night at this rate.
Zero then began by inserting 1 of each of the 5 types of souls into their respective bodies. After a few minutes, the 5 individuals began to rouse and awakened. They were 4 women and 1 man and as soon as they awakened they looked around and saw the bodies prompting them to freak out. The 5 started to scream and tried to run away but Zero used his telekinesis to keep them in place. This action obviously caused them to become much more fearful and to scream even louder.
Zero covered his ears and simply waited for them to simply stop. After 3 or so minutes the 5 human’s voice went hoarse and they stopped screaming but they still looked at Zero with a fearful gaze. Zero then removed his hands from his ears and then asked them, “Are you done?”
After receiving a silent response did Zero start talking. He said, “Good well first thing first you all have died and been resurrected.”
At this statement, the 5 remained silent and looked at Zero as if he had lost his mind. Zero didn’t wish to waste time going back and forth with them until it sunk in. Zero used his mental manipulation skill and insert the memory of looking at their deceased bodies multiple times along with the memory of their resurrection. As the foreign knowledge entered their minds the faces of the 5 individuals change from unease to a face of horror.
Zero was kind enough to wait for them to digest the knowledge that they had died. After a while, the male of the group seemed to recover first as he asked, “How did we die and how long have we been dead for?” The other 4 looked at the man with a strange look as if they hadn’t understood what he said.
“There was a worldwide crisis that resulted in earthquakes in multiple parts of the world. You 5 are all different nationalities and you will find that many of the victims come from your area. Your areas were hit the worst and we weren’t able to save you. As for how long you’ve been dead it’s been a couple of months so you’ve all been declared dead.” explained Zero

Again the news shocked the 5 again so Zero waited while they digested the news wishing he had brought a book. He could pull a book out of dimension but he felt like that would make this harder to explain so he had no other choice but to wait.
“Even if we died in an accident why did you resurrect us? I don’t think you go around resurrecting everyone who dies in an accident.” said 1 of the women
“The reason is simply that the crisis was unknowingly caused by me. Since I was the reason I tried to save everyone but failed so the next step was a resurrection. I was able to bring you back to life but there are some differences about you 5 now.” explained Zero
Before they could even ask any questions Zero entended his pointer finger out and a tiny ball of flame appeared. He then went on to say, “Due to my energy when resurrecting you all 5 of you became able to sense mana and use magic.”
Yet again they needed time to digest the fact that they can now use magic. Their reaction this time didn’t contain any fear rather it contained glee and excitement. The woman who would grow to became a fire witch happily asked, “What can we do? Is there any special type of magic we can do? How do we use magic?”
Zero chuckled as he answered the question. He said, “You can use fire magic, and going from left to right it’s wind, water, earth, and space. As for special magic, it depends on your capabilities and how much you study magic. Magic requires studying so I'll provide you all a teacher to learn from.”
The 5 looked at each other and smiled at the prospect of becoming mages. They were so excited that they hadn’t even noticed that Zero had released his telekinesis and restored their ability to move. Wanting to no longer waste any more time Zero snapped his finger and created a portal. Zero then beckoned for 5 to enter the portal but they remained motionless where they stood. Zero was tired of wasting time so he used his telekinesis and lift them off the ground and drag them along as he walked through the portal.
Exiting the portal they appeared at the hotel lobby and after the portal closed Zero released his skill and the 5 crashed into the ground. The 5 slowly stood up and looked around finding the surroundings different than what they thought. They had expected a more magical surrounding rather than the normal-looking hotel. Although none of them were used to staying in such a fancy hotel it still fell short of their expectation.
Zero didn’t really give them too much time to take in their surroundings when he said, “Follow me.” He then led them to the hotel lobby and alerted the receptionist and told them to prepare rooms for the 5. He then said, “You guys will stay here and receive basic lessons. When your skills are good enough I’ll resurrect the others and you’ll be responsible for teaching them as well as explaining their current circumstances to them.”
After that was done Zero walked away leaving the 5 to the receptionist. He then teleported back to where the un-resurrected individuals lay. Yoko’s stasis spell hadn’t been fully broken so he channeled more mana into the spell activating it once again. Finished restoring the spell Zero then teleported to Yoko’s location.
