[ Paying attention is what he's about to say. Every round had made him more angry until the end all he could see was red. But no. Think, you idiot. There had to be something. Some clue as to how he was cheating. Yes, it's hell and yes there might be magic involved. But how could he ever claim he was a duelist if he didn't pay attention to his opponent?

And then all it takes it sleight of hand to get it out.
