He was being ruled by his emotions at that point. Something most teenage boys are. Also, he just came from a very technologically advanced society, one that doesn't have magic, into a society that is very technologically stunted, and DOES have magic. When he agreed to the duel with Guiche, he probably assumed that it would be a fistfight, or something of the like, which takes place on earth. After he got into the fight with Guiche, and found it would be magic versus brawn, it was an instance of pride not allowing him to bow out of a situation which was unfairly stacked against him.
