Academy Tour

Academy Tour is the very first chapter of the Canterlot Academy series, serving as the prologue to A New Era. It serves as an introductory chapter rather than a world building chapter that would later be present within the first 4-5 chapters of the installment.

Plot
The door opens as Principal Celestia greets the cameramen behind the promotional video into the newly built Canterlot Academy in the quiet unnamed suburb of Canterlot City. She shows the men around the facility, stating that there's a range of activites for students to occupy themselves with, such as a soccer pitch and an indoor swimming area. She also states that there are 10 dorms in each of the 5 accomdation buildings, equaling the total number to 50 dorms. Principal Celestia also notes of the fire evacuation plan, explaining to the readers that Canterlot Academy provides a Gamewell S-4 fire alarm in every corner of the building except for the catering room, on top of testing the alarm every semester. The lead principal walks over to the employers assisting her, Vice-Principal Luna, Vice-Principal Cadence, Vice-Principal Shining Armour, Vice-Principal Trunchbull and Vice-Principal Finster. Principal Celestia walks to the front of the academy with the cameramen, concluding the promotional video with the hope that students will love what is to offer at Canterlot Academy.

Continuity
Vice-Principal Trunchbull and Vice-Principal Finster are introduced, which whom later go on to control the academy's disciplinary records.
