Since Ancient Egyptian times, Duel Monsters has existed and since then it has been changing and evolving into the game that it is today. At one time it was a game used for power, monsters fighting with one another under the control of the humans who harnessed their power.
However over time, the spirits remained sealed away and the game became a simple card game, one used for fun to challenge other duelist to a friendly match. Though things were not meant to remain at peace. The barrier between the 3 Realms (Shadow, Twilight and Dawn) were becoming thin and the spirits were once again being bought out to fight against one another. Magical items from the three Realms appeared along with Guardians to guard over these items. Duelist from around the world had to step up and keep the world from falling apart.
It was realized that with people existing that could manipulate the cards and the spirits within them, that younger duelist needed to be taught to defend against any future threats. It seemed that one terrible thing after another just kept happening with small times of peace between these events. For just such a cause, Duel Academy was put into place and opened up. There students would learn how to play the game while also learning about the Realms in case any other magical events were to occur.
However, many of the game corporations realized that they could not relay on children alone to protect the world. They would need people who were older and had more experience to actually go out into the world should trouble decide to rise up. They came together and built Domino College in the place where most of the trouble always seemed to begin, Domino City. The college was established with the hopes of teaching new Duelist as well as continuing the education of students who would come here after attending Duel Academy.
Of course the college also operates as a normal college, teaching students their normal studies along with advanced dueling techniques. Many students attend the college knowing what they are getting into and preparing to fight against the darkness that always comes around. However, there are some that come in, still expecting the game to be just that... a game meant for fun. Yes the world knows about the three realms, they have been told; however, not everyone believes in this system of life. Choosing to live in ignorance, people go about their lives, denying that any dangers have come around or ever will come around.
