Not getting immediately dismissed means Accelerator is quietly counting this as a win, so far.
He's going to be open that he's willing to do whatever needs doing, regardless of whether or not something is morally correct or legal. He's well aware the cost of what he's asking for isn't cheap and that he's only a kid, the latter of which will probably create some obstacles in how he can pay the Society back. But there's an advantage there, too: adults underestimate kids all the time. He's willing to bet a lot of heroes, especially ones tied up in the Alliance, handle kids a lot more gently than adult villains. At the very least, they're probably more reluctant to deal with them. As a minor it's easier for him to slide under the radar and let people assume he's some idiot brat who's gotten in over his head, even though that's complete bullshit. He knows what he's getting into. He understands the rules the Society has and he doesn't want to hurt innocent people anymore anyways, so all of that's fine, it makes a lot more sense to him than the expectations of the Alliance.
He's also got a pretty useful ability (understatement of the century) - being able to manipulate vectors - that has some versatility to it as long as he can do the mathematical calculations for it.
All of that is being explained very confidently. He hasn't been rehearsing an answer or anything, but he's given this a lot of thought in order to make the best of the options available to himself.
