Background / History

Teyvat Academy appears within a majestic city on the plains bordering the Star Dou Forest. Its establishment follows Su Yun’s arrival on Douluo Continent, one week before the opening chapter. His system supplies an initial group of Teyvat companions through a beginner’s draw, although Zhongli’s arrival is unexplained even to the system 1.

The academy initially has powerful residents but almost no students. Zhu Zhuqing becomes its first registered student after Venti saves her and directs her toward Rosaria. Su Yun assigns her to the Anemo Academy, where her Vision responds to the Archon statue. Meanwhile, Ningguang proposes a residential outer city and develops the Merchants’ Guild to address dwindling funds 4 5 10.

Su Yun sends academy members into the wider continent to improve publicity and recruitment. His confrontations with Heaven Dou nobles and Crown Prince Xue Beng draw attention to his strength; Zhongli interprets the first incident as a warning against testing the new academy’s limits. The Sky Screen subsequently identifies Teyvat Academy as the continent’s strongest faction, then broadcasts its associated gods to both Douluo and Teyvat 11 17 20 32 34 36.

During the Faction Arena, Su Yun initially holds back the academy’s strongest fighters so prospective students can see the other teachers’ abilities. The academy remains separate from the human–Soul Beast conflict, provoking condemnation from Yu Xiaogang and Shrek Academy. Its eventual victory triggers an influx of visitors: all ten thousand guest rooms fill, and the staff begin improvising admissions procedures and supply arrangements 44 46 50 52.

Organization

Leadership and Staff

Columbina	Listed as a teacher; supplies major combat power and creates the artificial moon 10 50 52.
Ronava	Summoned through the academy system and included among the heavyweights Su Yun initially holds back in the arena 43 44.

Elemental Academies

The institution is organized around seven elemental divisions, each intended to have a dean. Early staffing is incomplete: only Venti and Zhongli have arrived as deans when Xue Ke first discusses enrollment 19.

Division	Documented state
Anemo Academy	Led by Venti; Zhu Zhuqing and Qian Renxue train under Rosaria 4 5 45.
Geo Academy	Zhongli is identified as its dean 39.
Dendro Academy / House	Initially unopened; Nahida later discusses its duties and assists with admissions 19 36 44 52.
Cryo Department	Its early personnel are entirely from Mondstadt 19.
Hydro Academy	Still lacks someone to distribute Visions at the opening of the Faction Arena 44.

The Sky Screen’s eight-god introduction features Venti, Zhongli, Raiden Ei, Nahida, Furina, Mavuika, Columbina, and Anastasia. Their inclusion does not mean all eight are already present: Su Yun is surprised by the reveal, and Mavuika later protests that she cannot participate in the arena despite appearing on the poster 34 42.

Admissions and Training

• Public enrollment: The academy’s poster provides a location map, admission rules, and an entrance-exam date 42.
• Provisional placement: Nahida’s registration team initially assigns applicants to elemental academies, without treating registration as confirmation of admission 52.
• Transfers: Students who later wish to change academies can take a transfer examination 52.
• Apprenticeships: Enrollment does not guarantee becoming a dean’s personal disciple; teachers have limited time 44.
• Elemental instruction: Vision bearers manipulate Elemental Power, unlike Soul Masters whose abilities are anchored by Soul Rings. Zhu Zhuqing first senses this power beneath the Anemo Archon statue 5 22.
• External training: Su Yun arranges for Zhu Zhuqing and Qian Renxue to train at Spirit Hall because the academy’s god-level challenges offer them little practical experience 45.

Documented Students and Applicants

Name	Admission or training status
Zhu Zhuqing	First system-registered student; Anemo Academy apprentice of Rosaria. Her recorded Soul Power reaches level 28, which Su Yun attributes to her Vision 5 10.
Qian Renxue	Joins the Anemo Academy and trains under Rosaria; initially less practiced with her Vision than Zhu Zhuqing 44 45.
Xue Ke	Confirms completed enrollment after the Faction Arena 50.
Dugu Yan	Su Yun invites her indirectly by informing Dugu Bo of the registration date; she and the Heaven Dou team become interested in transferring 20 27.
Ning Rongrong	Intends to qualify through the entrance test rather than ask her grandfathers to take her to the artificial moon 52.

Abilities and Institutional Resources

Teyvat Academy System

The system displays the principal, teachers, students, and individual student records. Its teacher-draw pool contains Teyvat characters together rather than separating them into different pools 10.

• Recruiting students grants Intertwined Fates; Zhu Zhuqing’s admission awards five because of her relatively great fortune 10.
• Draws bring Teyvat personnel to Douluo Continent, supporting Su Yun’s effort to save them from the Abyss 10 27.
• The beginner’s ten pulls produce eleven people, with Zhongli’s presence unexplained 1.
• Su Yun wonders whether duplicate draws could upgrade teachers, but this is not confirmed 10.

Protection Within the Academy

Su Yun’s system-granted invincibility applies specifically inside the academy. The opening chapter states that he could repel even the Asura God there 1.

• His strength outside the grounds is described separately through his Soul Power and Seven Divine Visions 1.
• Being inside the academy also allows him to sense the higher-order power behind the Rankings 1.

Research and Technology

• Space Soul Tools: Sandrone researches them at the academy 10.
• Soul Master combat: Sandrone studies the connection between Soul Rings, Soul Power, and the limits placed on abilities 22.
• Akasha Terminals: Su Yun provides terminals for recording observations; they can take notes even before Nahida and Aru are present 22.
• Jade Chamber reconstruction: Su Yun identifies Mitya as capable of remodeling it, provided the necessary materials are obtained 44.

Campus and Facilities

• Central city: Towering gates surround the city, with several god statues visible inside; the academy stands at its heart 1.
• Anemo campus: Mondstadt-like Central European buildings, an iconic windmill, and an Anemo Archon statue 5.
• Clock tower: Woven with the Elemental Power of the Seven Nations 6.
• Library: Contains floating star charts 6.
• Laboratory: Sandrone’s workspace for her experiments and mechanical research 4 10.
• Guest accommodation: Ten thousand guest rooms, all occupied after the arena victory 50.
• Artificial moon: Created by Columbina and remembered as having been shaped into an academy. Its silver-white light illuminates the campus; newcomers mistake it for an official eighth “Moon Academy” 50 52.
• Outer city: Ningguang initially proposes a residential district around the inner academy. An Outer Court is later shown in use 4 62.

Finances and External Relationships

• Teyvat Merchants’ Guild — Ningguang develops it to replenish finances and procure supplies. Zhongli receives half its revenue, and its commercial pressure strains the Seven Treasure Chamber of Commerce 5 10 28.
• Seven Treasure Chamber of Commerce — Later sends available supplies from Heaven Dou City and surrounding areas to help meet the academy’s sudden demand 52.
• Heaven Dou Imperial Family — Xue Ye makes Xue Ke a royal priority after the academy’s ranking is revealed. Once enrolled, she offers to have Su Yun’s and Zhongli’s purchases billed to the imperial family using her unlimited allowance 42 50.
• Spirit Hall — Hosts external training for Zhu Zhuqing and Qian Renxue. Bibi Dong also considers recruiting academy members for their strength 45 46.
• Clear Sky Sect and Star Dou Forest — Its closest-ranked arena rivals, finishing second and third respectively 50.
• Shrek Academy — Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and their companions condemn its refusal to join the human alliance against Soul Beasts 46.
• Teyvat’s displaced communities — The academy supports broader relocation ambitions. Ningguang and Zhongli work toward a new Liyue Harbor, while Nahida hopes to bring Sumeru’s people to a world free of Abyss corruption 39 44.
