Ciel Phantomhive's investigation in the disappearance of several well-to-do students from the elite Weston school has been stymied at every turn, so in Black Butler, Vol. 16 he came up with an elaborate ruse to finally meet the enigmatic headmaster. This required Blue House, of which he is a member, to win the fabled cricket championship held on June 4th. Blue House defeated its first rival and ended up in the championship against Green House. But then Sebastian ended up chasing the Headmaster, leaving Ciel and his team to compete without supernatural assistance.
Fortunately, Ciel and his team have been training and are using their knowledge of physics and math, and manage to triumph over the much more athletic Green House. Meanwhile, despite Sebastian's powers, he is unable to catch up to the Headmaster, and realizes that the Headmaster is more powerful than a mere human being.
Winning the championship allows Ciel to secure a spot at the Midnight Tea Party, where he finally meets the Headmaster. He announces his purpose in being at Weston, and one of the missing students is produced. Unfortunately, he is now one of the walking dead, similar to those who were aboard the Campania. Who is this mysterious headmaster?
The story continues in Black Butler, Vol 18.
