After Ronan's move most of the contestants were rattled and the courage they had gathered by banding together was instantly blown to smithereens as 12 of them could not even take one casual attack from Ronan.
Those that did manage to evade the attack or somehow withstand the damage without fainting now looked into Percy Draco's cold eyes and realised that they had absolutely no chance of winning.
Nobody wanted a voluntary beating and the difference between the unascended themselves and the ascended Draco brothers was as clear as night and day.
There was absolutely no possibility of them even landing a single punch on their opposition as the only thing they could do now was to endure for as long as possible.
