Unlike the Fields Medal, which is awarded only to mathematicians under the age of forty, the Wolf Prize has no age limit.
The Wolf Prize can be awarded even to elderly individuals in their 80s, 90s, and even 100s to honor achievements from decades ago.
Moreover, if the candidate currently holds the presidency of a notable academic society, their chances of winning increase even more due to political interests, leading to inevitable criticisms of being “their own league.”
Of course, there are exceptions.
If one achieves an indisputable accomplishment in the history of mathematics, they could win the award in that same year, with Andrew Wiles, who proved Fermat’s Last Theorem, being the most representative example.
While the decision to award is crucial, the timing of the award also serves to measure the significance of the accomplishment.
[In 2051, the Wolf Prize in Mathematics was awarded to No Name from Seviron Academy in South Korea. Congratulations.]
Thanks to major propaganda from Israel, the quiet country of the morning was turned upside down.
[No Name, first Korean to receive the Nobel Prize of Mathematics “Wolf Prize” (General News)]
[Youngest Wolf Prize winner No Name, side by side with global mathematicians at the age of 8.]
[International Mathematical Union reports “Verification was completed just three days ago.” Extremely outraged by the Wolf Foundation’s embargo violation.]
The Wolf Foundation stole all the spotlight from the International Mathematical Union and the Seviron Foundation.
However, if No Name does not attend the representative speech that will feature on the front page of news around the world, their decision to tiptoe around the Union will end up being in vain.
Conversely, it would be a relief if it merely diminished the authority of the award.
“By all means, persuade No Name! Whether it’s offering more prize money or recommending them for membership in the Royal Society, we just need to do it!”
“We’ve received the Wolf Prize for the first time in our country, and this kid is just casually enjoying broadcasting!”
They needed to end her broadcast quickly.
The consensus of the Koreans watching the news in real-time alongside the Wolf Foundation personnel was clear.

“No matter how I look at it, it seems like a smurf.”
No Name tilted her head in confusion while Kariri scanned the ongoing situation.
The opposing team was suspiciously quick, showing no signs of lacking in personnel.
“How many?”
“All six opponents.”
“Whoa!”
Kariri swallowed a breath.
While she expected one or two snipers, this was excessive.
The “Safari Dream” team was riding a wave of five consecutive wins.
This was not a ranked game, and in a casual match, they shouldn’t even be able to lose.
Adella was a Master, Kariri was at the entry level of Diamond, and although Udex was completely new, wasn’t No Name a Challenger?
Yet, if No Name hadn’t swept the battlefield, there would have been far too many teams that would have lost helplessly.
For instance, just like now.
Woosh—!
An enemy arrow embedded with explosive magic struck precisely in the middle of their base camp, where their allies were recovering stamina.
“They shouldn’t have had vision from this side, how!”
Doubts quickly turned into certainty.
Boom—!
With the addition of an explosion spell from the fire sorcerer, the entire area was devastated.
Udex’s death log appeared in the upper right, and Adella had lost so much health that it was difficult for her to enter the battle for the time being.
“Older sister, heal me!”
“Not now. The assassination squad could come after us soon…”
“The assassins shouldn’t be able to come this far unrestrained… Ah, smurf!”
It was common sense that one could not send an assassin squad alone into an open area.
Dividing their personnel could lead to separate defeats.
However, assuming they were smurfing, this fact wasn’t a major problem.
In No Name’s mind, every assumption was sharply interlocking like gears turning.
“First, we need to escape Arseria Forest as quickly as possible. This feels bad…”
The hazy battle fog no longer protected the bleeding allies.
It was inevitable to confront the strategically moving enemies whom they could see from above.
“3 to 6… We’ve fought 2 to 50 before, so this is nothing! Right?”
With the highest mobility and agility stats, Adella wielded twin sabers and intercepted the charge of the spearmen.
Adella showcased her daring acrobatics, halting their advance.
A swiftly launched spear pierced just beside her head, and a tree snapped.
“How long for No Name?”
No Name’s finishing character grew exponentially stronger over time.
The moment average stats crossed the threshold would be the stepping stone for a turnaround.
“2 minutes… 1 minute and 30 seconds… No, 1 minute and 15 seconds…”
“Damn, we’ll have leftover time even after the game ends, so how are we supposed to hold on!”
Crying wouldn’t change the situation.
While that happened, Kariri was busy stacking the Berserker’s Fury while seeking an escape route.
Eventually, red vision blurred her front, and a character dripping with blood began to furiously charge towards the enemy line, receiving heals from No Name.
Boom—!
“Ugh!”
[HP: 149/29491]
Kariri’s attack was blocked by the paladin’s protective barrier, reflecting damage back.
However, thanks to No Name’s precise calculations for middle-level healing, she continued to maintain enough health not to die.
When health drops below 1%, the Berserker’s trait transforms stamina into unlimited capacity, allowing Kariri to deliver a final powerful attack.
Swoosh—!
Five claws extended rapidly from her fingertips and shattered the knight’s equipment.
“Hold on tight!”
A thick branch connected with a silver thread mercilessly tightened around the knight’s neck.
This was the work of Adella, who had been hiding among the trees.
“Grrr!”
Pulling the silver thread with all her might, the knight’s feet slipped off the ground.
Simultaneously, a kill log appeared, confirming they had taken down the enemy.
– My heart raced, Wa
– Healers really have different tiers, how shockingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– That trash wire getting a kill, Adella is insane!
– The snipers failed to prevent the demon lord’s descent again…
– Is ‘that character’ coming out at last?
– The priest you know no longer exists!!!
– My honest opinion) I think healers should receive a nerf.
“…Let’s hold on a bit longer.”
“No, we’ve reached our limit! Help!”
Swoosh—!
If there were a Deus Ex Machina in “Wolloa,” it would undoubtedly be No Name’s character.
With an enchanting voice, the world shook with golden threads.
The woman who had thrown aside even her role as a priest wielded a sword, sweeping the battlefield.
“Don’t fall! If we defeat No Name, we win by numbers!”
“What healing amount…! The self-heal is off!”
The priest experiences a halved effect on self-healing.
It’s like a doctor undergoing surgery by another doctor, or a hairdresser getting a haircut by another stylist.
However, the penalties of the skill called ‘self-heal’ become insignificant when backed by overwhelming growth.
“Did it go in properly…”
“How dare you… you shameless…!”
“Ah!”
Boom—!
The knight who pierced No Name’s thigh with his sword quickly turned from joy to despair.
The horizontally swung fist shattered the knight’s jaw by breaking through the helmet.
At that moment, No Name pulled out the sword and dashed toward the archer casting explosive spells.
A direct movement.
A challenge that exuded pressure on the archer to not shoot even if they could.
The instant all five arrows were drawn and set on the bowstring, No Name’s focus concentrated solely on the tightly drawn thread.
Swoosh—
“Stay away!”
The arrows that left her hand passed through the fluttering blonde hair and embedded into an unfortunate rock.
In an exceedingly low stance, a skiavona extended outward.
Clang—!
Despite predictions that the force wouldn’t be sufficient, the cold blade sliced through even the seams of the plate armor, producing a refreshing sound.
– Six consecutive wins ㅅㅅㅅㅅㅅㅅㅅ
– Kari!
– Wearsoft should quickly nerf the priests!!!!!
– By the way, No Name has proved an unsolved problem that has been unresolved for 202 years, that’s insane ㄷㄷ
– At this rate, wouldn’t it be possible to challenge the Fields Medal in three years? Sometimes I wonder if this person is human.
└ The 11-year-old Fields Medal is ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└ If they prove Goldbach’s conjecture too, it seems genuinely terrifying;;
– Take care of No Nameㅠㅠㅠ
– Look at the Israeli flag on the opponent’s profile, they aren’t even trying to hide it nowㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└ Come on, is this not a conspiracy after all?
– Anyway, that representative speech is unnecessary. No Name will become more famous than the Wolf Prize now, right?
└ For realㅋㅋ
└ It’s important that they received it. We don’t care about the restㅋㅋㅋ
– I’m tired of the title ‘Hamcho-Rong’ too. Just the primate GOAT No Name!
– Let’s have No Name wear a lion mask and become a VTuber, that would be so cuteㅠㅠㅠㅠ
A little later, Adella returned with Udex, who had revived at the ally base.
“Older sister, it’s already past 11 PM, how long will we keep playing? At our level, losing is harder.”
“No Name! People seem to be searching for you anxiously. While I’m really grateful for your help with our debut broadcast, how about we all go celebrate your award instead? I may not be good at math, but I can clap really well!”
“…”
Finally, Kariri joined in and patted the dazed No Name’s back.
“Oh, great idea! Hehe, No Name, are you embarrassed by us? Huh? Hurry up and say something, or I’ll just wear this animal mask and leave!”
To compensate for the height difference of 20 cm, Kariri hopped in front of her.
No Name shot her a dry look.
“Who are you?”
A cold voice instantly froze the once cheerful atmosphere, and Adella raised her tail fluffily, squinting one eye.
“Oh dear, why is our No Name pouting? Then shall we play another game?”
Kariri grabbed her wrist and gave it a gentle squeeze.
‘She may seem cold on the outside, but she’s actually cute on the inside.’
In reality, it seemed like this was the first time anyone had seen No Name act spoiled.
“Boss, hold on a moment… Older sister…?”
Feeling a sense of discord, Adella stepped closer and scrutinized No Name’s face closely.
She was biting her lower lip.
If this were reality, it would already be at the level of bleeding profusely.
“Older sister, are you feeling unwell?”
“What’s wrong, Adella? No Name is fine.”
“You’ve never acted like this before…?”
“Are you okay, No Name?”
“Stop joking around. Just say something quickly. If you’re teasing us, it isn’t funny!”
Adella pinched her cheeks.
No Name’s eyes narrowed as she scanned Adella up and down.
Just as No Name was about to speak, a red warning message surrounded her avatar, emitting a warning sound.
[Physical abnormal reactions detected.]
[Please log out of the capsule immediately.]
“From the beginning… this is gross beyond measure.”
[Response time exceeded.]
[Forced disconnection initiated.]
“Uh…?”
Behind the shimmering light scattering like mist, Adella’s shocked expression was clearly evident.
Eventually, she lowered her gaze to the ground.
Kariri presented the proud Safari Dream Class 1 badge to No Name.
As No Name’s avatar disappeared without a trace, it became half-buried in the mud.
[No Name: Currently offline.]
