Genshin Impact Akademiya Extravaganza Event (A Parade of Providence)
Akademiya Extravaganza will be the main event for version 3.6, featuring seven mini-events and an additional competition as part of this first Sumeru festival.

In the Wisdom GalaDarshans Cyno, Kaveh, Faruzan, Tighnari, Layla and another mysterious character each have their own prepared mini-games, to show off the style of each of their schools.
Each mini-game will be different. For example, Layla’s asks you to solve astral puzzles, Kaveh’s involves building paths over a number of moves, and Cyno’s is more of a traditional combat challenge.
Regarding the Interdarshan Championship, this involves each Darshan selecting a single member to represent their school in a major competition. This is all the information given to us about it, so it is likely to contain the story content of Akademiya Extravaganza.
