   The Knight From Midsummer
In the following years, both Jack and Mark attended the Crowncity Knight Academy, and were chosen as squires with high recommendation. Jack did indeed do very well, but because of this the other boys didn’t like him much at first. Although Midsummer tended to mind its own business, it had a reputation as being one of the most moral, upright, virtuous, and altogether boring places in all the land, and the boys felt that someone from there was unworthy of becoming a knight. They teased him, calling him “Midsummer” and refusing to use his real name. Later on though, Jack’s all around good nature won through, and he was well-liked by both the students and the teachers.

Even while he was at school, Jack never gave up inventing, but as long as he didn’t damage anything, the trainers didn’t much care what he did. During his time there, he came up with several inventions that were recognized as quite helpful to the populace and—once they caught on—were in high demand. Through those inventions, Jack earned enough money for him to live quite comfortably even after he had repaid the d’Martins for helping him get into the school in the first place. Both Mark and his father claimed it wasn’t necessary, but Jack insisted.

Later still, Jack was knighted by the king, and he took the name ‘Sir Jack Midsummer’, for it had become his nickname among his friends. His symbol was the hawk, and he did quite as many marvelous deeds as even he could have wished for.

This is NOT THE END although you can pretend it is . . . if you decide to ignore my post tomorrow. n_n
