Here’s the deal, we already have prodigies in the show.

By trying to write a preteen (someone that didn’t hit puberty and gain considerable muscle mass in the process) killing a grimm, you are effectively trying to out prodigy every, single, canon prodigy we have seen in the show, at the same time, which as far as I’m concerned is a sure fire way to write a Sue.

I don’t care how you slice it, until the body starts to develop and they gain muscle mass, no amount of training would …or rather should, let you kill something 5 times your size that specifically exists to kill you, unless the kid is holding an infinity sword that they can aim properly.

OK then. I'll change that bit. What if Gimli just killed his own Grimn at 17 and Fintan killed his own bear at 16? I was also sort of thinking that since the village is outside the kingdoms, the kids need to be able to defend themselves and others faster.
