hmm... why did she offer to be a guard?
what does she get out of it?
Part of is it probably that she's already involved. The two that got away know who she is and what she looks like, so they'll be seeing her as an obstacle to killing their target and trying to remove her anyway.

Part of it is probably that Mira wants to live her new chance at life protecting people instead of knifing them in the dark.

And part of it is probably that she Emilia has grown on her.

I don't think she actually gives a damn about hiding her abilities, as long as it doesn't interfere with staying a student
But thats kind of odd, during the entrance exam she purposely wrote in some wrong answers. What does covering up being smart do for you if you're displaying full combat power and gaining attention anyways? I would assume that's foreshadowing that she's holding back everywhere, just presenting enough power to solve the problem safely, but I can't really see any good reasons to show you're in the upper level of combat ability while hiding you're actually an expert.

Sandbagging the magic test was pretty important to not basically show she's graduate level.

As for the combat, the princess knight was an unexpected variable and this bodyguard arrangement is explicitly secret.

There will come a point in time where she's too connected with the princess for anyone to want to remove her.

page 8, lower right panel: the guard's dialogue and Mira's first dialogue balloon seems to have been interchanged.
page 11, lower right panel: Aruka called Emilia, Mira.

;)

As she said, to not stand out. Being an assassin aside, as someone from a lower ranking house, it would make more sense to common perception that someone from the sticks would not be as well educated as the capital nobles. Book smarts, like what it seems the exam was testing them for, don't equate to excellent physical ability.

To use manga references, it's the same way an S-rank adventurer from a rural village won't know how to navigate politics or the dealings of merchants, or even not be well informed of the history of the royal family. It still doesn't affect their abilities to bring down a Wyvern.

Oh expletive...there's no more raws to read ahead. Won't y'all consider breaking the laws of time and space to release the next chapter before it's written? No? Awww... ¬_¬

I think a primary reason for Mira not wanting to stand out too much at this point is because she doesn't want to draw too much attention from the assassin's organization at this point. From her flashbacks, it's not impossible that there were others in the group (such as her mother) that are still more powerful than her; the longer they underestimate Mira, the more time she has to polish her abilities.
