Normal, rational people react to Classroom of the Elite

When five rifts tear through the fabric of reality across the globe, five strangers are thrust into an unknown dimension with nothing but a screen and a mysterious novel waiting for them.

As the five individuals grapple with their new reality, an apparition, nebulous and shimmering, materializes before them. This being, referring to itself simply as "The Curator," reveals the purpose of their abduction: they are to react to the light novel "Classroom of the Elite," a story of psychological warfare and social manipulation within Advanced Nurturing High School.
