Um, you do recall that Aura protects its wielder from any physical damage, and combine that with Hazel's Pain Suppression Semblance, it makes it that much harder to bring him down. As far as Ozpin goes, he was pushing his relatively untrained body beyond its limits, hence why he gave out long before Hazel did. Even if he did bring Hazel to his knees, he couldn't finish the job, and spent the last parts of the Battle of Haven hiding behind a pillar, lest Hazel finish him off. And as far as Weiss' Lancer goes, remember that Hazel was taken by surprise, if he saw it coming he would've defended himself. Penny won't have that luxury, and remember it takes time for her charge her laser up, leaving her open to several Dust shots from Hazel.

And aside from that, expecting an enemy like Hazel to be one-shotted isn't just unrealistic, it's downright insulting. He's taken on several opponents at a time without tiring, killed several fully trained Huntsman, and you believe one lone rookie can succeed so easily? And if it does happen, then I'd ask what was the point? Hazel has been presented to be a very dangerous enemy, taking him out with such punitive ease flushes said presentation down the drain. That's the problem with writing a story based on Rule of Cool, it creates unrealistic expectations. But, since you seem to disagree, I'm gonna back out of this discourse, since neither of us are convincing the other.
