The sooner I solved that weakness, the better.
I would contact Bunnytea to see if she could traffic another beast into the academy.
But that would have to wait for now.
Since I had already forfeited my tasks, I might as well make the most of the time I had here.
I ordered Squad One to capture two Sabre Tooth Rabbits and bring them back so I could transform them into cybernetic beasts and complete the team to thirty members.
They responded with a salute and dashed out of the cave to carry out my orders.
I took the opportunity to continue training my skills.
An hour later, I had obtained five proficiency points.

◆ Spells:
┗ Sky Dash - Advanced Spell (12%)
┗ Fire Spark - Basic Spell (70%)

At the same time, Squad One returned with two unconscious Sabre-Tooth Rabbits in their grasp.
They placed them in front of me.
I rested for a few minutes to recover my mana before stretching my hand over one of the rabbits.
Fusion Synchronisation.
I completely transformed both of them into cybernetic beasts in an hour and four minutes.
Their status sheets were the same as the other cybernetic Sabre-Tooth Rabbits.
I brought out more weapons from my storage bag.
I fused the Hearthbreaker Launcher on one and a Silencer Arc-9 Sniper on the other, then equipped Eclipse Gauntlet Cannons on both of their forearms.
After much consideration, I decided to place Eclipse Gauntlet Cannons on both members of their squads.
I was tempted to add a Null Singer Disruptor, but there was no room left.
Both squads were designated to attack from long range, and the Eclipse Gauntlet Cannons were meant to be used in emergencies, when enemies managed to get too close.
That way, they could take them by surprise with their overall physical combat abilities.
Also, there weren't many Null Singer Disruptors among the weapons Bunnytea had sent.
I suspected she had mixed them in to make up for the discrepancy in the numbers.
It worked in her favour because I was satisfied with the upgrade it brought.
I checked the time.
17:45!
I didn't have the urge to return to my dorm room.
I felt an urge to continue training and decided to take advantage of it.
I wrapped the CRs and Victory with my mana and stored them in my storage ring one by one.
I took out two wrapped, roasted, and sauced meaty thighs, along with a neatly dressed salad, from my storage bag.
I had prepared this meal beforehand in case the investigation took longer than usual; I didn't want to take a risk by eating anything they had to offer.
I satiated my appetite before finishing everything off with a bottle of water.
I rested for a few minutes before returning to training.

[ Third Person P.O.V ]
Two groups of people occupied the waiting area of the Dungeon Hall.
On the other side, three students sat, repeatedly glancing at the robotic receptionists' area.
Their expressions were solemn.
Seated to one side were the Grand Avalon Academy Dungeon Service Nurses, Magical Swordsman Department, Class Three.
They conversed among themselves.
"Hey, what do you think those brats are doing here?" Tiana asked, subtly pointing at the students in the corner who kept glancing at them.
"I recognise them from the top rankings across each class," James responded, eyeing them from the corner of his gaze. "If my guess is right, they're waiting for one of their comrades from the dungeon. Perhaps they are playing some sort of bet. You of all people should know how they behave."
"But honestly, I don't care what they're doing. As long as they don't try speaking to us, they can keep staring at us with a telescope for all I care."
He took a biscuit from the box on the table in front of them and ate it.
"True," Tiana said, nodding as she stretched her hand forward to grab a biscuit. "I miss the captain. If he were here, they wouldn't even dare to stare. His looks alone, and that mighty greatsword of his, would've scared them away."
She tossed the biscuit into her mouth and chewed.
Two days ago, they had received a catastrophic report that the Dungeon Service Nurses of Class One had suffered injured after subjugating another powerful beast.
It was stated that there were more than two this time, and while one had been seriously injured, the other had managed to escape.
The beasts were reported to be a Rank Two Late Lesser Beast and a Rank Three Sacred Beast.
Fortunately, no students had been caught up in it; otherwise, the situation would have been catastrophic.
Thus, both they and Class Two Dungeon Service Nurses were tasked with handling the threat.
Although they had no idea how such powerful beasts appeared in the Magical Swordsmen Dungeon Area, especially since most of the dungeon was sealed, they weren't allowed to ask questions.
This was the job they were paid to do, and they had no choice but to do it.
Although they managed to defeat the magical beasts, their captain and several others were severely injured.
Fortunately, their injuries were treatable, and with the top-notch medical services within Grand Avalon Academy, they would recover within a few days.
Now, along with the remaining Class Two Dungeon Service Nurses who had recovered from their wounds, they were tasked with conducting sweeping searches during the day and night, every two days, to uncover any more powerful beasts currently in hiding.
"You're saying that now, while eating the last of his favourite biscuits he left behind. Why don't you visit the hospital and tell him the same thing?" James replied, amused.
"I don't think biscuits will be the first thing on his mind when he recovers. Besides, we're the ones doing all the heavy lifting, so this should at least be considered a small reward for our hard work," Tiana replied, scoffing.
She grabbed another biscuit and threw it into her mouth.
At that moment, two students walked out from a door beside one of the robotic receptionists.
