The Public School arc places the detective-demon duo in Weston College, one of the most prestigious public schools of the country where many noblemen's sons go for education. Even Ciel’s father was once a student there. But Ciel does not go there for the education the institute provides, but to investigate the death of a fifth year student named Derek, the son of Duke Clemens, the Queen’s cousin. But it will be revealed that Derek was unfortunately in a cruise ship named Campania which was overtaken by the undead, something Ciel has faced before, turning the case even more mysterious.
Ciel’s investigation will not be smooth sailing as he will face the four prefects of the four boarding houses of Weston College, who sit at the top of the food chain. Edgar Redmond of the Scarlet Fox house, Lawrence Bluewer of the Sapphire Owl house, Herman Greenhill of the Green Lion House, and Gregory Violet of the Violet Wolf house. The season will highlight how Ciel navigates the complicated school politics and hierarchy to solve the mystery with Sebastian.
