And you think a 7/8 year old boy can stay alive in a battlefield against the opponents of DxD's standard. His powers might not even be developed enough for combat like Kunou. Not every kid can be like Millicas or Leonardo. Ise, Kiba and Gasper even held back against him. So by no means is Teodoro capable of fighting in his current age.
