Lunar Knights EXP Issues

Uh, Hi. I'm currently in a strange little predicament. I've recently switched Flash Cards(Went from an R4 Ultra to an AceKard2i), and transferred the roms I had on the R4U to my AK2i. Now, I've been itching to play Lunar Knights, so I download the rom, put it on the card, and started to play. And yet, the minute I get control of Lucian for the first time, and get to kill some enemies, I discover that I'm not gaining EXP at all. I'm using the latest firmware for the AK2i, I have no cheat codes activated, and absolutely no luck in fixing this problem. What's weird is that I never had this problem on my R4. So if anyone could please help me figure out what the problem is, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Okay, I feel... Very retarded right now. I forgot that I couldn't level up or earn EXP until AFTER the first Trap... Eheh... Nevermind this problem....
