Can someone who's read the light novel just spoil me on what her fucking deal is?
@Grimmycoffee pinging because I notice you liked the comment.

Anyway, yes, your suspicion are true. However, she is not doing it willingly. In the anime (and by extent, the LN), Rose was part of Svenn country orphanage. Now that she grew up to be vice commander of the knight order, she found herself her calling to give back what she received during her childhood: taking care of the orphanage. This is weaponized by the papal faction of Svenn to coax her into helping the assassins achieve their mission to kill the Royalist Prince (which is likely the one who leaked informations about the festivals and such). If she fails her mission, the orphanage will not survive.

However, looking at how this develop in the manga, I hope it explores a bit more about her actions down the line. I am seeing the vision, and it is equally badass and eye-teary.

Heinblitz isn't "OP super strong", Kuruni is stronger, she literally lifted a fully armored man off the ground with a training weapon.
The tankobon bonus in volume 3 has an Arm Wrestling Ranking, which listed Heinblitz as the strongest followed by Kuruni.

Full list below for anyone interested:
1. Heinblitz
2. Kuruni
3. Bardel
4. Slena
5. Landrid
6. Beril
7. Alushia
8. Porta
9. Sarikasso
10. Fissel
11. Nidori
12. Lucy (without magic)

I wonder if Rose is just afraid to go all out, like some "lose shit" berserker type
Hope she's not traitor or something like that
It's a bit spoiler, if you don't mind.
Roze's swordstyle is more defensive and focus on counter and parry. Her primary weapon is a sword and shield, and she's really good at utilizing her shield.

In this sparring match, she didn't use a shield. It's clearly she hid her true skills.

Its crazy how much worse the anime is in comparison. The mangaka lingers on subtleties a lot and draws a lot of intense silences.
I feel like the manga tries to show how much tension can be found in medieval martial arts, and the anime just played up the absurdity without trying to highlight anything apart from that. Never watched it apart from a few clips of the OP esp after hearing opinions on it.

Based on the comments I read so far, the anime use LN as source materials. We can see the differences from the way Beryl met the Magic Division Commander.

In the manga (ch. 5-6), Lucy baited Beryl into fighting her seriously. In the process, the mangaka showed Lucy's characters, her shrewdness and cunning, that followed through to the manga so far.
In the anime, Lucy simply introduced herself to Beryl and asked for a duel. Which, to me, feels plains and nothing special.

Personally, I think the mangaka did phenomenal job with changing things up to make it more interesting as well as creating the silence panels that tell the story without needed any speech bubbles or narrations. Not to mention the arts! And the way they draw, block and panel the fight scenes.

Also, using secretary bird for Zeno Greibl design? VERY inspiring choices!!
