Your Pov...

"Yep, that's us! We live on the other side of Mount Moln," the guy who had been hit with the snowball smiles. "My name's Dominic. It's a pleasure to meet you." Dominic gestures for his company to introduce themselves as well.

"I'm Grum, and you better not look down on me just 'cuz I'm small," the dark red-haired guy frowned.

"I'm Hop, and I'm here to have fun," the blond, who threw the snowball at me, cheers.

"Hey..." Dominic woke up a guy with short jade green hair, hazel eyes, pointy ears, and wore an eye mask on his forehead. "I'm Shelpie..."

"The name's Snick. Nice to meet you..." a curly orange-haired guy introduces himself while letting out a sneeze. He had brown eyes, pointy ears and wore a knitted neck warmer.

"I'm, um, Timmy..." The cobalt blue-haired guy introduces himself. "Oh gosh, this is embarrassing..."

"What was my name again," the last guy questions his group. He had bowl-shaped plum hair, baby blue eyes, and pointy ears.

"Come on, Toby, you could at least try to remember your own name," Dominic sighs.

"Um, hello," Epel hesitantly greets the small group. "I'm Epel, from Night Raven College. This is Idia, Jade, Sebek... Y/n." We all exchange pleasantries.

"What are you Royal Sword Academy students doing all the way out here," Sebek huffs, already done with the interaction.

"We're racing in the Mount Moln Sledathon," Dominic states. Sebek, Epel, Idia, and Jade were shocked. "We heard you get good luck if you win it."

"You came here for such a vaguely-defined prize," Sebek asks.

"You must be in sore need of some luck," Jade comments.

"Not at all," Dominic refuses. "We're totally fine and wouldn't dream of asking for more. It's just..."

"We want to share some luck with everyone else..." Snick answers with a sneeze. The boys made a confused noise.

"That's right," Dominic backs "We want everyone in the world to be happier. That's why we're here."

"WUT," Idia was confused. "If winning one lousy race could make the whole world happy, then all our problems would be solved already."

"You're not wrong," Dominic chuckles. "We know we can't make everyone happy all by ourselves. But if those close to us can be happier, like Neige... Then when other people see his smile, it'll lift their spirits! That's how we want to share it. ...I know it sounds a little greedy, but it's what all seven of us want."

"Yeah," Hop cheers. "Being happy rules!"

"That seems extremely fake," I frown. "So are you all just glossing over all of the hurt and sorrow people experience? Being happy does nothing for those who are poor, sick, grieving, or in bad situations. "

"That's not true," Grum argues. "When people see Neige and his smile, all of their troubles melt away."

"Highly doubt that," I growl. "Unless he has magic that solves word problems."

"Racing for world happiness," Epel questions with disgust. "Do they even hear themselves? What goody two-shoes!"

"I've heard of doing your good deed for the day, but this is ridiculous," Sebek exclaims.

"They're speaking modestly, but they look quite confident in their abilities," Jade comments.

"Who do they think they are," Idia frowns. "Just hearing that speech was enough to turn my stomach."
