Oliver was surprised to hear what Matthew said. This was the first time anyone actually asked to have a duel with him. The term duel and the way Matthew asked him got Oliver excited.
"Heh, well what kind of youth am I if I don't accept such challenges. Sure let's have a duel. Alex can be the judge. So what kind of duel will this be?"
Matthew seeing Oliver's confident smile, made him even more motivated. His rival Alex always had a stoic face, and moved like a machine, his way of fighting felt like victory was all but certain to him. Oliver on the other hand had the complete opposite feel from Alex, he was showing a face that says that no matter what Matthew did victory was his to take.
