Just because he can perform complex calculations using his subconscious (something everyone can do in fact, just not that complex maybe normally), doesn't make him smart in general.
In general, he is the smartest guy in AC. Kamachi clearly showed it. He can do many other intelectual things, not only great calculations. And what you said is actually wrong. To reach the master level and to make your skill perfect, you must start as the beginner and train and train. If it was really that simple, too many people would be the levels 5. As long as he is number 1, he has the number 1 brain. And the work of his brain definitely shows its smartness.

But Accelerator managed to perfectly revise that huge set of equations in less than 10 seconds. His brain had developed to the point that something of that level was no problem. In Academy City, power development was part of the teaching method, so Academy City's strongest espers were also Academy City's greatest honor students. If there was a wind user with the processing power needed to outdo Accelerator's ability and equations, that person would definitely be designated a Level 5.

In Academy City, where the school curriculum included esper development, the strongest esper in Academy City also had the strongest brain. Having accurately calculated all the air particle flow in the entire city before, Accelerator used all his thoughts to find a way to solve this.
Lonely and weak, he laughed at himself, then inserted the disk into the notepad-sized computer. He quickly scanned through the data that was scrolling at waterfall-like speed, reading all the data. It took him 52 seconds to finish reading, 48 seconds to close his eyes to remember, and 65 seconds to compare what he had memorized to the data on the screen.
If it doesn't show the vastness of the intellectual work that he performs, I hope there will be people who will explain it better.
