"I'll get in touch with Coach Landaal." Noelle went straight to the point.
The coaches in the intensive training camp always picked on the weak. All they knew was how to push the trainees around.
If Jude were to discipline them, they'd be too scared to even breathe.
"Captain, wouldn't that be a bit… bad?"
Jenna hesitated. "They always say the intensive training camp favors us. If you go to the coach, they'll just gossip even more behind our backs."
"Then let them be," Noelle replied.
Noelle was never like those coaches. She called Jude, and he happened to be in another city for an exchange event and was quite surprised to get her call.
"What happened?"
Noelle moved a little away from the team to make sure they couldn't hear her before saying to Jude, "I want to apply for a new training venue for Flame Speed Racing."
Upon hearing her request, he refused without even giving it a single thought. "Are you crazy?"
He wondered if the intensive training camp wasn't big enough for Flame Speed Racing to train.
Noelle was speechless. "Don't panic. Let me explain first."
She explained how the other teams had ganged up to ostracize Flame Speed Racing.
"Coach Landaal, the camp hasn't produced decent racers for years. Doesn't that have something to do with how these people operate?
"When they meet outstanding racers, instead of learning from them, they exclude them at every turn. And now it's not only one team, but several teams banding together to exclude us."
She sounded helpless. "I'm really disappointed in your management!"
Jude was furious. "Watch your tone. Don't be so rude!"
Noelle silently rolled her eyes since he couldn't see her anyway. "I noticed this from the moment I joined the team. From Shannon to Hazel, and now to several teams ganging up together to bully one team. I understand that it's normal to feel jealous. But if your skills aren't up to par, you should focus on yourself instead of making things hard for your teammates."
She made her point plain. "Look, if you agree, Flame Speed Racing will find another place to train. If you don't, and you keep letting them push us out like this, the promising talents of Flame Speed Racing will be completely destroyed."
How could Jude not understand the risk?

Jude had poured his life's work into this camp.

It was a promotion in name but a demotion in reality.
Going to international events may seem glamorous, but the truth was Jude would lose any power he held.
Jude had been working hard his whole life just for things to end up like this. The situation upset Noelle, and she couldn't imagine how horrible Jude felt.

Jude said in a low voice, "Don't make this public yet. I'll give you an answer by tomorrow morning at the latest. I won't hold you up for long."
Noelle was thrilled. If they could have a separate training camp, the members of Flame Speed Racing wouldn't have to put up with the mistreatment they suffered.
The thought alone made her excited.
But Noelle was curious about Louis' background. He had the nerve to seize power, but even Jude couldn't do anything about it.
