Having hung up the phone, Lucy Wood was still somewhat dazed.
"She's only 24, she's only 24…"
Normal people at her age are still struggling in school, yet Ellen Young, so young, had already retired from a professor-level position at Hadton and had won the most prestigious Mathematics Prize twice.
Lucy Wood remembered that even her own teachers used to say getting an academic thesis published in a journal under Edgar was a great honor and an opportunity to make a name for oneself in the entire mathematics community, let alone such a pure professional Mathematics Prize.
The recipients were absolute authorities, a super genius wanted by every country.
No matter the age, they were top-tier personalities.
Now, her younger sister had won the Edgar Mathematics Prize.
An award almost legendary in the minds of their students.
