If you check Vol.2 Chapter 218 at the part where Shilial's needle breaks off due to Hatsu's attack, you will notice that the portion that snapped off is cylindrical (i.e. the weapon is a needle not a sword).

A rapier, despite mainly being used to stab/impale (like a needle), still has a cutting edge, which is why it still classes as a sword. Even so, like I mentioned before, a rapier functions more like a needle anyway So either Shilial utilised her needle like a needle, or, Shilial utilised her needle like a rapier sword; I'd go for the latter due to her mentioning her low swordsmanship capabilities, but both would be applicable.
