Seeking to meet the elusive headmaster of the elite Weston College, Phantomhive enrolled and joined Blue House. But in Black Butler, Vol. 15, he made no progress towards getting closer. The June 4th cricket tournament between the four Houses, however, presents a golden opportunity as the winners are invited to meet the headmaster. Unfortunately, Blue House has not won since Vincent Phantomhive, Ciel’s father, was himself the House prefect.

Blue House has neither the brawns, nor the athletic abilities to compete with the other houses. What it has, however, is strategic thinking and initiative, and Ciel is determined to use these to the best of his ability. With Sebastian’s help, he prepares a fiendish plan to dispose of his opponents, but the arrival of the Earl’s staff, as well as his future family-in-law, threatens to throw everything into chaos!

The story continues in Black Butler, Vol. 17.
