In Black Butler season 4 episode 4, Ciel Phantomhive, now the Drudge of a Prefect's Drudge, faces unwanted attention from his peers. Alongside his loyal butler, Sebastian, Ciel aims to unravel the mystery behind students severing ties with their families.

Despite their suspicions, they find no trace of these missing students on the school premises. Enslaved by strict rules, Ciel plans to inquire directly with the Prefects, including Gregory Violet, about Derrick Arden, a missing student rumored to be transferred to the Violet House.

At Swan Gazebo, Ciel learns about the annual cricket tournament, a century-old tradition. The event is not only about competition but also an occasion where outsiders are welcome. During a casual conversation, Ciel subtly probes about Derrick's whereabouts but faces resistance from Gregory Violet. However, he manages to pique the interest of the other Prefects.

Ciel presses for more information about Derrick, learning he was transferred due to his unique talents. Despite the Prefects' evasiveness, Ciel senses something grave being hidden. He refrains from pushing further to avoid arousing suspicion.

Despite questioning various students, Ciel finds no concrete answers about Derrick's talents. Sebastian conducts his own investigation, but neither he nor Ciel can uncover the reason behind Derrick's transfer.

In a bold move, Ciel decides to create a diversion by setting fire to the Violet Wolf's dormitory. Reciting school regulations, Sebastian calls for a roll call, hoping to flush out Derrick. The episode ends with Ciel and Sebastian awaiting Derrick's appearance amid the chaos.

Black Butler: Public School Arc episode 5: What to expect?

Black Butler: Public School arc episode 5 will mostly focus on uncovering the secret behind Derrick Arden's absence while also exploring the secret that the P4 is trying to hide.

The Derrick Arden plot will take a backseat since the episode will also focus on the cricket tournament.
