Blake, definitely.

Weiss would have been trained since childhood to use snark, sneer and (on occasion) economic warfare against those who displease her. She would certainly have been taught to only to threaten to use force when she means it and to only draw when she intends to use it to the end.

Blake, on the other hand, has probably lived semi-wild with other escaped slaves for years. Effectively, she's an orphan who's been raised by a street gang. She'll have been used to a rough-and-tumble and dog-eat-dog culture where any display of weakness can be literally lethal. If Weiss pushes her hard enough, she'll draw and go in, believing that not doing so would be inviting Ruby and Yang to stab her in the back whenever they feel like it.

I expect Blake and Weiss to both be sitting detentions for a while - Blake for attacking a fellow student and Weiss for not being able to govern her superiority complex. I wonder if Glinda and Ozpin will put them on the same team as a kind of punishment - If you want to stay, you're going to have to learn to work together; if you can't you're walking home down Washout Avenue.
