Grik had done all that the instructors wanted them to do and excelled at all that he did. With two training days worth of shield training under his belt, it was at least something that Grik could use out on the front lines of battle. At least it was better than nothing and perhaps the efforts he exhibited here would prove useful in the era to come.
XP Award Grik is awarded 2xp toward the Shield-as-a-weapon basic skill
