The orcs reacted as they would when they faced new enemies; ready for anything. When their snowball attack failed with Leonardo attacks, they knew this wasn't a game anymore. They reacted appropriately. 

One of the orcs, Torug, cast protective wards around the orcs. It didn't stop the water, but it stopped the electricity. Assisting him was two other spell casters, Saghig and Kaxi, who also began to stack additional protective barriers for the nears near Leonardo. Many of them covered various magical effects; mind manipulation such as Suggestion or Fear, as well as buffing their attributes. Five other of the spell-capable mages Bor, Gulfim, Garakh, Ushug, and Bolar readied their own offensive spells, mostly fireball and it's variants. It may have been a problem with so many orcs near, but with all the wards built on them they could be thrown into a furnace and survive.

But it wasn't just the spell casters who acted. The front line fighters drew their weapons, an assortment of blades and bludgeons. Of the seven, Ougha, Gujjab, and Eichelberbog used great swords, enchanted with various magical effects. Markas and Ralthavar took out their axes and began to slash at Leonardo. Xoruk and Kilug took out their chains and whipped at Leonardo between the orcs, careful not to get the chains caught by the other orcs. And that was before the orcs who made up the Bulwark charged in as well. Their tower shields protected their front, with handguns on their other hand. They began to shoot at Leonardo with no worry about friedly fire; the wards protected the orcs from the bullets. 

When it became apparent that someone was attacking them, the rest of the orcs took out their weapons and went on the offensive, even those who were already in the Assembly Hall. Word of a fight broke out and they all came out looking to start killing. Some simply charged into battle, but those who could cast protective spells or buffs before engaging in battle. Various healers and mystics stood by to do any healing and resurrection, and provided their own assistance to the fight as at least thirty or so magically protected orcs sought to kill Leonardo.

At least, that's what he'd see. In truth, all the orcs already left the area and where listening to the headmistress. But one stayed behind; Dura, an illusionist who wanted to screw with Leonardo's head, thinking that the orcs were still there to fight. She stuck around to keep the illusion up on Ralthavar's orders. When the assembly was dismissed, the orcs merrily left the hall to go stake their claims around the school. Ralthavar himself chose to simply stick around to ensure they don't cause any trouble. Whether or not they find trouble was another matter entirely.

Things only got more difficult for Mary as more of the students filed in. Once everyone got to the hall there was more space so Mary thought she wouldn't have to worry about stepping on anyone. Or so she hoped, before Mary felt a bit of a kick back when she tried to move Biggy forward. [b]"What was that?"[/b] Checking the cameras she thought she might have ran into a podium or something, but instead saw a small kid. Obviously not a normal one, otherwise he'd be on the ground and almost stomped. Who ever this kid was, he was likely pretty tough since he didn't seem to be doing anything and still managed to not get knocked over when Biggy walked into him. This point was further proven when the boy mentioned meeting one of his own kind. Either he was a robot or crazy. Not wanting to develop any sort of misunderstanding, Mary spoke through Biggy's intercom system. [b]"Ah, sorry about that. I'm Mariam Machina. And are you some sort of robot? I don't think I've ever seen an android as humanoid as you."[/b]

Before she could get her answer, the headmistress made her speech. It was... Strange. Mary recorded and would consider looking over it later, looking at the boy she just met.
