The Emperor's Anointed

Prologue

September 5, 2025 - Philippines - Ezquon City Science High School - 15:30

Ezquon City Science Highschool, one of the few regional science high schools in the nation, known to enroll students who have excellent grades and academic performance and turn them into the best of the best by the time they graduate. I can go rambling on about how great and lacking it can be sometimes, but alas you aren't here for that, perhaps another time. 

Classes had just been dismissed, teachers and students alike were rushing to get home and relax since it was Friday and they didn't want to waste any more precious relaxing time. The workload hadn't been that extensive, but this was a science high school, it was bound to be taxing and stressful at times even if there wasn't much work. 

However, not everyone was in a rush to get home, either because they were waiting for their parents to pick them up, club activities, or simply because they wished to be with their lover engaging in public displays of affection in the confines of recently emptied classrooms.

Within one such classroom was Solomon, a regular guy with an average height and average body build. Truly a regular, everyday, normal guy you would see on the street or when going to the mall. Currently he was sweeping the floor of any dust and garbage, not because the floor was messy enough to warrant concern, but rather to just give him any excuse to avoid and block out the noises of the other three couples who were in the same room as him. 

He was tempted to just leave the room and wait downstairs for his mother, but he was the designated cleaner for the day, or rather the only one who would comply to general cleaning every Friday. 

I would tell you more about him, but I think it is better for the man himself to introduce himself.

Solomon's POV

'Welp, I'm nearly done with sweeping up, then I can go down, away from them'  I think to myself as I sweep up the last sector of the classroom. Ah right, to those imaginary viewers of my life story I am Solomon, Solomon Silado. I'm currently 16 turning 17 within the next 21 days, god I'm getting old. I am pretty average in height, around 5'7" and a body build that isn't that impressive but is practical in lifting stuff. I do have a girlfriend surprisingly, I honestly don't know how, or why, but I will cherish her until death and beyond. We met during 9th grade when she was still studying here, unfortunately she moved to another school so I can't be with her right now. Anyway, going back on topic, I am the class secretary and class custodian, since our custodian doesn't do his work. Finally my, hobbies include reading, watching, and playing video games, and about sixty percent of my material is Warhammer 40k. 

Yes, I am a Warhammer nerd, of sorts at least. However I don't focus much on the Space Marines with their bulking super soldiers, the Tau with their advanced technology, the Necrons with their somewhat immortal bodies, or the other various other factions. No, I mainly focus on the Imperial Guard, the standard file and rank soldiers who hold the line against horrors beyond comprehension. There is just something about unaugmented and regular men and women with weapons that are as expandable as themselves holding the line against enemies that would be described as horrors not created by god that just piques my interest. My personal favorite being the Death Korps of Krieg.

Anyway, that is my introduction of myself, I may have left some things, but they are either insignificant or would require someone else to verify such claims. I had finally swept the last remaining particles of dust and had set aside the broom. All that was left was to get my stuff and go down to the bleachers. One problem though, 'they' were there. If you don't know who I am referring to, I am referring to the bully leader of this batch and his girlfriend who is well, let us just say he ain't her first lover, in both ways. They were currently making out as if they were in private, touching and being sexual and all that. Worst part, it was on my desk. I let out a deep sigh before just going to wait outside, I did not want any trouble so I'll have to just wait it out.
