[Perhaps--but there are some people who simply don't care if using magic in Camelot will get them killed.
And there are some who cannot stand to see someone persecuted for their talent, for being, simply put, different. Mao happens to be one of them.
His strong area isn't magic--that's reserved for swords--but he knows a few spells, all of which relate to ice. And since it's raining, this means he has quite a big advantage over the knights, as well as the element of surprise.
Certainly, anyone would be surprised if their companions were suddenly encased in blocks of ice. They'd be even more surprised to find a strangely-dressed young boy darting out of the shadows and landing at Arthur's side, sword in hand.]
