Itachi was at a loss for words when a little blond girl around 12 jumped into his arms nuzzling his chest like he was some sort of pillow.

"You don't let me out enough big brother you big meanie" she said pouting ignoring the fact she was completely different.

"You.... Why are you a little girl?" Itachi said tiredly

"Sniff Sniff do you not like how I like" Kayda said looking ready to cry.

"No no you are even cuter than you were before, it's just... I was wondering what happened."

A smile quickly returned to her face "oh I was just sleeping one night and I woke up at this. Isn't it great?" She said grinning happily as she could also be a human just like her big brother.

"Yes... but can you turn back?" Itachi said wanting to know what this would mean for her.

"Sure" suddenly right before Itachis eyes, she transformed into a glorious 15 meter tall dragon that radiates an intimidating aura.

'Wow, she has been growing at an even faster rate, yet she only gets quicker and more agile. With her speed and sharp talons, she could take down some terrifying beasts.

Soon she transferred back into a little girl who proceeded to jump right back into Itachi's arms "I like this form a lot more big bro"

Mentally sighing a bit Itachi thought It guess I can say she is my little sister or something.

Picking her up, he flew back to the school carrying little Kayda in his arms.

He flew over the trees before touching down in the school gaining a lot of attention.

A tall blond girl quickly stormed up pointing a finger at Itachi "How dare you kidnap a little girl. I'm going to call FBI on you"

"This is Kayda, my little sister. She is going to be staying with me for a while"

"Are you sure you did not kidnap her" Gabriella asked suspiciously"

Thankfully Kayda helped him out by wrapping him in a hug "Itachi is my big brother" she exclaimed proudly dispelling many of the negative thoughts running through the others minds.

And that's how the rest of the week went. Kayda would follow him around everywhere earning many suspicious glares along with close calls with the FBI.

Many asked where his sister had come from, but he only answered Japan which was quite suspicious considering it was so abrupt.

Soon, the day of the elite class visit to curb the growing lake demon population near the 5 Great Lakes was underway, and Itachi was kinda excited to see what the best in the school would be like.

While he was an exception let in by the principal, the other 10 kids would be the top ten in the university. Which included Gabriella, Catherine, and Liam who were ranked 4th, 6th, and 8th respectively.

He was already near the level of spell with demonization, and he just wanted to bide his time till it reached a level that made him almost undefeatable. The stronger his elements were, the stronger his demonization would become.

His elements were a bit behind, but he could still contend with a normal super mage tier 1 or two even considering the opponents spirit seeds or star upgrades.

After a night of cultivation he went to meet up with the training mission group. During the past week, he had made quick gains in his new elements considering how fast his cultivation speed was.

While demon element grew naturally with him, shadow and chaos had both reached the mid tier unlocking many new abilities. He wondered if his shadow element would get any bonus from his wishes, and he was not disappointed. Instead of one or two shadow spikes for his mid tier he would gain hundreds that he sensed would increase along with his cultivation.

One useful thing is that they could restrain somebody by their shadow so Itachi could throw pin their shadow down similar to the Shadow Possession Jutsu, but you use their own shadow against them. If they were not strong enough to break free, it was an easy way to restrain them.

Of course he could just stab them with the spikes, but he could do that much more effectively with steel spears long with his telekinesis ability. The novice tier magic was one of the most useful of them all, and it gave Itachi the ability to sneak around in the shadows.

Also part of his benefits gave him the ability to throw out many shadow clones to confuse the opponents.

Their was a reason chaos was called the best support element, and it certainly wasn't a lie. It could easily redirect any weaker attacks with little effort. The novice magic could bend the trajectory's by changing the laws of reality.

No one knew how chaos element really worked, and while bending trajectory's may seem small at first, he could also send out chaos blades that cut through space to slash targets.

Space and chaos were closely intertwined elements that were said to control the most important laws.

Mid tier unlocked the ability to catch attacks and return them with twice the power. It is very useful, yet most people did not consider charging up an attack since they would not have time.

Itachi deep in the Great Plains on the other hand, had sent his strongest fire magic Heavy flame burial: Hell's fire out.

The giant meteor shot out looking like a miniature sun. Teleporting over, Itachi almost used up all of his chaos element to capture the attack and sent it back towards a distant nest of over 50 monsters resulting in a 5 mile wide burning crater that nearly rivaled for forbidden tier magic which in other words was spell magic.

Considering the nest only had a couple warrior ranked black bulls, the attack was a bit overkill, but as a famous hero once said "If one particle was left maybe it could regenerate"

Walking into the classroom several glances were thrown his way. He received happy greetings from Gabriella and Catherine which seemed to annoy most of the other males their while he received a mixed look of fear and anger from Liam.

One brown haired boy pointed to a seat next to him cordially "Names Lucas, ranked 5th, I heard about you, you are that strong exchange student with the space element. Nice to meet you"

Itachi only nodded as he looked towards the teacher in the front. It was Professor Phillips labeled one of the strongest teachers. He was supposedly a super mage in multiple elements, but no one really knew how strong he was.

To prepare Itachi had taken Kayda in his contract space which annoyed the small girl, but she was fine since Itachi promised to make it up with her by taking her to the Rocky Mountains later since she seemed greatly interested in the rumors of other dragons.

"Greetings, today will be the start of your training mission to the Great Lakes. The Lake demon population has been exploding lately and there have been many concerns of attacks against the populations nearby. While the border guards are doing fine right now,

I'm afraid if their population grows the guards will not be able to handle the problem."

"What are the strengths of the lake demons" one composed blond haired kid raised his hand.

"They are larger than a typical horde with over 100,000 with a few commanders, so you need to be careful. Don't expect to take them all down on your own, we are just thinning their numbers a little so don't let the numbers frighten you too much."

"What if we kill them all" an arrogant looking black haired female raised her hand sending challenging looks around the class.

"You already will get time to cultivate in the 6 steps star pagoda, but if you manage to defeat them all, I will talk to the headmaster about extra rewards."

"Now, you will be taking a bus ride to the edge of the safe zone where you will travel on ATV to reach the target location. Those of you with wind as one of your elements can simply fly if you choose to instead of using ATVs to reach the Great Lakes which are around 10 miles from the safe zone.

If you find yourself in danger send up a signal flare, but as high tier mages you should be able to care for yourself and it would be an embarrassment to the school of you need to be rescued. That is all"

So far, Itachi's impression of the others was they were mostly aloof, with a few arrogant ones or talkative people.

Itachi continued talking with the two who continued to talk with him. Originally the two didn't seem to know each other too well, but they soon were talking away as Catherine described the ease Itachi had destroyed two strong commander Sharks which shocked Gabriella who wasn't there.

Itachi had greatly held back in the former duel and it was no surprise that she would be shocked at someone single handedly taking down two different beasts of that rank.

Both of them were curious at his background, but he never mentioned it and he deflected all the questions they had about him. While he did have an Asian look to him, his skin was so light it was hard to tell, and his blond hair although cool, didn't seem to be natural.

'I wonder if his hair is dyed, also what is his background? It can't be ordinary if he is so strong at such a young age" Gabriella thought while Catherine had similar views.

They soon arrived to where the confident looking blond male immediately took charge grouping everyone up and coordinating the plans. Itachi guessed this was Ryan Casey who was labeled the strongest in the school who apparently had blond hair.

While Itachi did not know much about him, he was apparently a really strong plant, summon, and lightning mage who apparently had a commander level contract summon.

This seems to make him very arrogant as he assigned tasks with no room for debate. It was very funny when he ordered Itachi to support from the back using lightning.

Itachi flicked him off before walking away causing the two girls to laugh at his antics as the pissed off Ryan immediately began shouting bs that he was in charge and he has to listen to him.

"I will be fine on my own, I'll teleport to you if you need help" Itachi simply said before preparing to walk off.

"You make it sound like we would need your help" the black haired girl from before arrogantly said.

'Olivia Grace, that was her name' Thought Itachi staring at her. Apparently she was apart of some clan in America that made her quite famous.

"I hope you don't because that would be a bother and I would rather not go through the effort." Itachi said before flying away.

Honestly he wasn't really in the mood to stick around too much. He might as well kill as many of the monsters as possible.

He stayed in range of the group to keep any eye on what they were doing before he immediately stared attracting a lot of attention. He threw a giant tornado onto the lake that was well past F5. It seemed like the entire lake was being pulled up as thousands of servant and a few warrior beasts were trapped in the whirlwind being slashed apart like they were in a blender.

His fully powered tornado was not to be underestimated, and the distant group near the shore couldn't help but look in shock at how powerful his wind element was.

While there were other wind mages there, none of them could come close to matching how powerful his tornado was and they wondered if he had some amazing spirit seed or possibly some other talent.

Itachi was currently embracing the thought of work smart not hard. It would be much more difficult to kill them while they are inside of the deep lake, so why not bring them to you?

He keep up the large tornado for a while as he traveled around the lake throwing monsters in the meat grinder. He had yet to encounter anything too strong, and even commanders would eventually fall to his razor sharp wind blades.

Soon the others decided to stop being useless as the other wind mages copies his idea albeit less powerful. They couldn't kill most of the monsters with their weak wind blades, so they devised a plan to draw out the demons while the others would support with attack magic along with defending from the stray attacks including one that looked similar to hydro pump coming from a few warrior ranked monsters.

Itachi knew they couldn't be that weak, and sure enough a few strong commander ranks emerged near his team members. They immediately began attacking which was pushed back by the others. While arrogant, Ryan was very strong with a dark red fire that had to be well into the soul seed grade.

He had a fire domain that could enhance his attacks as he sent down a fierce Heavenly fire burial that washed over one of the commanders leaving it wounded pretty bad.

Capitalizing on the situation the Olivia immediately sent a powerful advanced Lonely death lightning with similar enhancements that crackled dangerously across the sky hitting the beast directly onto its head electrocuting it to death.

Immediately the other commanders were moving in, but they did a good job defending with one defensive mage sending wave after wave of earth and water to push the monsters back, as well as defending from a few slashes that came close to killing some team members.

Meanwhile Itachi in the distance watched this spectacle. He could tell that they would not have too much trouble dealing with them and he should focus on his own things.

A few stronger beasts inside his tornado were quickly dealt with by lightning he sent arcing around the tornado. He figured out a way to combine the two, and he sent a steady stream of lightning energy into the twister which caused many arcs of lightning that electrocuted stray monsters not yet killed by the wind.

Suddenly the entire lake shook as tsunamis of water hit the edges flooding along the sides. Out emerged a massive scaly lake demon that looked not dissimilar from Godzilla with a long reptilian tale that sent waves crashing every-time he moved.

The students were shocked as they realized the reports were wrong and the lake indeed had a Monarch rank monster that looked very strong.

Instantly they began to back up as they were not capable of dealing with such a monster. Before they had gotten far, the sky darkened as storm clouds quickly gathered overhead the flashes of lightning all over the sky blinded them as they struggled to see what was happening.

Itachi decided it would be easier to kill it with his new move, and no one would recognize the chaos element if he hid it well. Charging up his strongest attack, the second he released it, he teleported in front of it struggling to absorb the massive amount of energy with his only mid tier level chaos element. Finally, he held the condensed ball of energy condensing it to a small looking ball of energy that blinded onlookers with its bright glow.

Reaching out he thrust his hands forward resulting in the energy shooting out. It intantly arrived hitting the opponents chest. It then exploded out shooting the previously frightening monarch flying over a hundred meters away as it skidded along the water surface before finally smashing hard into the water resulting in another tsunami tens of meters high washing over the shoreline.

The beast slowly stood up clutching his chest in agony as a gaping steaming hole was seen.

It struggled to move as it coughed up blood quickly dying the lake red.

Roaring in anger it moved forward sending blast after blast of water towards the flying Itachi who easily dodged everything with his wings. It tried to slash at him, but while it was fast, Itachi had too many ways to avoid it that made it almost impossible for him to be hit.

He let a silver glow encapsulate him as he opened his storage space. Instantly hundreds of spears shot out faster than bullets penetrating deep into the wound. While they were tiny to the gigantic beast, the power behind them from Itachi's powerful telekinesis shot them deep inside almost coming out its back.

The beast clutched it's chest as he felt hundreds of needles shoot deep in its chest penetrating many vital organs along with causing the blood to pour out. The final blow came from his Naginata named Grimfrost as he shot it into its skull coming out the other side while the beast struggled to move.

Finally, it collapsed sending waves everywhere as the other lake demons retreated in fear. He flew down to the others ignoring the shocked looks he was being given.

"You two alright?" He said towards the two girls that he somewhat considered as friends.

Catherine nodded while Gabriella responded in her typical manner "Hmmph like those beasts could've caused any trouble for me. You should be worried for yourself. Are you alright? You just fought a monarch" she said in a worried tone near the end.

"Were you actually worried about me?" Itachi said smirking

"Baka! Why would I be concerned about an annoying prick like you?" She said angrily turning away with a hint of red creeping up her cheeks.

"Someone's not being honest" Itachi said once again smirking

Before she could answer, they were interrupted by Ryan walking over holding out his hand "while we didn't get off to the best start, I still want to thank you for the help. We would not have been able to defeat a monarch and we could have died if you were t here so thank you" he said sincerely regretting his pompous attitude in front of this mage who was much more talented than he was.

"No hard feelings okay, I will talk to you all later, I believe I have another trip so I will y'all to you later. Chao" Itachi said before flying off.

'Hmm I wonder who he is? Apparently he is an exchange student from Japan, but I have never heard of him before. His attacks were so powerful that may even have the almost mythical heaven grade spirit seed. I wonder who he really is." Ryan thought to himself seeing the retreating back Itachi.

I believe I made a promise to a certain dragon loli, and if rumors are even somewhat true, this is going to be an interesting trip.
