Hibiki Volume 7.
Ibuki's transforms into his oni form. His suit looks rather nice, granted, I always knew what it looked like, but still, doesn't change that it's a nice looking suit.

So Asumu passes the exam and gets accepted into the high school of his choice! Wonderful! I am glad he did, giving a nice follow up to the past few episodes of he and Hibiki promising each other that they'll both train hard. In his excitement, Asumu rushes to the restaurant only to find that Hibiki is off training. While there, he expresses some interest in the possibility that anyone could become an oni if they work at it, though he quickly shifts topics afterwards.
After getting secret instructions to his secret training grounds, he does his best to get there, but inadvertently falls asleep on the bus and misses it, now in a different area with little he can do.
As a quick note, a pregnant woman boards the bus, and Asumu is show uneasy as he is unsure whether or not he wants to offer his seat, but a young lady beats him to the punch. Looks like he still has some growing to do~

The demons here are two monsters who attack their victims by stretching their legs out and squeezing them.
...Huh.
Well, it's uneasy, I'll give them that. While terrorizing a young lady (The same one Asumu was on the bus with), Ibuki arrives and saves the day, taking out one of them.

Now that Asumu's current school stress is over with, I'm curious about where he's going to progress from here. Meanwhile, they're mentioning an apprentice under Ibuki named Akira, who I assumed was the lady on the bus, but her actions and interactions with Ibuki didn't seem to indicate that (However, Ibuki showed no restraint transforming in front of her, something Hibiki was derided for). I dunno...
