Even more people had gathered around the island.
The atmosphere was heating up. Journalists from all over the world had started to cover the situation at the gate.
Central Times — [The rise of a potential S-Ranked Gate?]
Sun Daily — [The disaster of Malovia Island. Evacuations have already started. Will the residents be able to return, or will this island be abandoned?]
GateNews — [Who to watch out for in the upcoming gate? Which Guilds to watch out for, and the potential Dark Horses]
A new headline appeared every day.

"This is ridiculous."
So much so that even the Section Chief found it to be ridiculous.
"The situation isn't as bad as they make it out to be. It's not like we haven't cleared an ranked gate before. This gate is still rank. There's no guarantee that it will evolve into an rank. Why are they speaking as though it's almost guaranteed that it will be?"
