Filler (Seriously? Filler Existed in Novel?)

Writing in Aera's basic info just in case.

13/25

7 months has passed since the disappearance of Gale Dragon King, Daifuu. However, as the mountain area which his corpse in is still [Paused], no one noticed his death yet.

Even if someone looked at the mountain area, they could see the Gale Dragon, in his sleep posture, stopped. And no one in Elf Nation was bored enough to look at that place for eternity.

7 months has passed but Kuro has achieved a huge growth!

.

.

.

Mentally.

As for his physical? Nope.

To make it visually simple, take a look here.

Strength: 1.9 - Agility: 2 - Constitution: 1.6 - Technique: 2.5 - Mana Pool: 1.5(Original) - Magic Spell: 1.5 = Arcane: 1.5

This is Kuro's basic stats 7 months ago. And…

Strength: 2 - Agility: 2 - Constitution: 1.7 - Technique: 3 - Mana Pool: 1.9(Original) - Magic Spell: 1.5 = Arcane 1.7

This is Kuro's stats at the present.

…before you complains about the obvious plot nerf, let's heard about Kuro's reasoning 'that made sense.'

()()()

Kuro entered the special space as multiples of camera's light flashed.

Bowing to everyone, the rhythm in which camera flashed turned even quicker.

Moving forward to the tiny table matched to his height, many mics were laid so that not a single sound from Kuro's mouth will escape.

With a political face, he turned to the camera side… bearing the camera lights that attacked his eyes.

"Uhm… Thank you everyone for taking time out of your busy schedule to be here today."

"In light of novel Holo Alter's recent failure,

I, Kuro, the protagonist, am here to represent the author of this book, in publicly apologizing at this special space."

Kuro's eyes were stopped at one point and his head were unmoving. One can even tell the 'sincerity' in his eyes.

"First of all, about the slow-paced story and the weak protagonist… We're very sorry!"

Kuro vowed as his tidied hair made just to look respectful—stayed unmoved.

Along with the vow of apologies, the camera flashed more.

'Can I rise my head already? My back is aching.'

After a breath, Kuro raised his head.

After then, Kuro finally sat down to the small chair that was created to match his height. The chair and table were at perfect size.

…

"May if I ask a question?"

Finally it was the camera-side's time to speak. The one who spoke was Korone who was holding a mic—in the formal dress.

"Go ahead."

Confirming the apologisers' permissions, Korone asked.

"Firstly, could you tell us a bit how it came to this."

Kuro began crying as his head slammed to table in front of him. His tidied hair was ruined from the shockwave as the usual Kuro came back.

"Uwaaaaah"

"It's too early to be crying you dimwit! You still haven't said anything!"

With his head still on the table, he spoke with his voice a little bit distorted from the crying.

"I was in disbelief that a single word from fanfiction main character can cause a girl character wet! I had no words to express my disgust to these R-18 fanfictions!"

"We thought that if we made the story slow-paced, the romances would not look so disgusting! But then, we forgot the fact that to be at the age to do lovey-dovey, I need to grow first,

and before I knew it, we went from action-romance to something else entirely! What's more, the author can't even time-skip in fear of ruining the world setting."

*bang* *bang* Kuro smashed the table frustratingly.

"But the thing is… You people don't understand anything! What possibly could you know about the hardship author spent!"

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Kuro started talking about the conception she didn't understand.

"As such, there's something I need to tell you today, and here is what's it…

There. We apologized. Kuro's obvious nerf will be forgiven."

"Screw you!" Korone threw the chair she was sitting and it accurately hit Kuro

Back to the discussion from before the real reason why Kuro had no growth this past 7 months was because…

He didn't want to train.

Wait a minute there. Calm down, calm down. He didn't want to physically train… the next part come next. Please behave and don't throw a stone to author.

He didn't want to physically train 'at young age.'

No, no. Bring that boulder down. It's dangerous.

Anyway, Kuro thought that if he trained physically, it could possibly cause a harm in his growth. What'd you do if he turned 17 years old,

and his height is even smaller than Ayame?

What if he became so muscular that Ayame-chan don't like him anymore?

What if Ayame-cha-…

Anyway. He just didn't train physically.

*gasp!* no way, did you think that… Kuro spent 7 months, just lazing around? That's so dum-

Stop! Stop! Don't throw a knife! If it stabs my eyes I wouldn't be able to see anymore.

By the way, I edited the previous chapter. As you can see from this chapter, I am energetic.

So the previous chapter's fight should be more readable.
