The fight's climax between Luke Lange and Doctor Vinigo alerted the whole school, because their blows caused thunderous bangs, which echoed for over a kilometer.
The students in the surface classrooms rushed to the windows to try to observe what was happening.
They could see a pot-bellied old man throwing different rune spells in the direction of the 'Half-Wolf', as most of the students recognized Luke.
Only a few hundred of the thousands of students in the Academy actually met Vinigo, because he taught an exclusive subject underground, so little was seen. For this reason, almost all the students who saw the crusty-looking old man fighting the Champion thought that he was someone who was attacking the school, and that Luke was protecting them.
This conception wasn't far from reality, but those who knew Vinigo didn't dare to judge him so quickly.
