Blake doesn't want to tell Ozpin about her years in the White Fang hence her justifying her fighting abilities as due to being from "outside of the kingdoms". Though I got the feeling he knows she is a former White Fang member and the chat was more about trying to get her to trust him on telling him about her past. She even seemed throw off when he brought up he knew she was a faunus.

I do wonder if she is really from outside of the kingdoms. It could be possible that one of the civil rights the faunus reclaim is being allowed to live in the same residential areas as humans.
