No mockery here, and no sign of it either; Akechi looks as politely attentive as he always did during their jaunts through the Metaverse, though his expression is a bit more obvious without Crow's mask in the way.
He takes note of the story Akira relates about the escape efforts, and of the anger that darkens his expression as he does. Silently, Akechi resigns himself to the idea that Akira isn't even going to be content with simply escaping this place and leaving it all behind. He won't be satisfied unless every single other student leaves with them.
"There were a few escape attempts in my class, as well." But that's all they were: attempts. That's all he says on the matter, too. No sense in trying to change his mind.
Regardless, the question gets a nod from Akechi and he steps closer to the door. This isn't his strongest point, so he closes his eyes to try to shut out any unneeded distractions. His ears swivel this way and that as he focuses, like he can actually hear the other Fighters. After a moment, he opens his eyes.
"There was one Fighter in the group that just passed us, heading north. There's two of them alone to the south and south-east, and two of them close together to the west." He points as he mentions the last point, to the opposite side of the library. "There's plenty of others, but those are the closest."
There's a pause before he adds: "If I can make a suggestions, I think we should move west, towards the pair that are close together." He doesn't bother explaining why; if Akira wants to know he'll ask, and if he's going to reject the idea Akechi would rather save his energy for something more productive.
