[ Impressive. Akechi can tell that there's real strength behind Junpei's block, especially when he recovers enough to push back. In the split second he has to decide, Akechi opts to let the kick connect. It hurts, but when he rolls with it, it lends him enough extra momentum to put him safely outside the reach of Junpei's swing. The rush of air as the broadsword passes ruffles Akechi's hair.
Which is, apparently, the sort of danger he enjoys, seeing how his smile tips from 'pleasant' into 'vicious' as he slides to a stop. As soon as he can reverse his momentum he's charging forward once again. He thinks his best chance is to try to keep Junpei on the defense, so this time he aims a sharp thrust directly at Junpei's face. ]
