Short answers with auxiliary verbs repeat the auxiliary from the question to confirm or deny something. In this case, Maria asks, Did you hear anything?, and James responds, No, I didn't. instead of just saying No. Here are some other examples:
Are you coming to the meeting? → Yes, I am.
Have they finished the report? → No, they haven't.
Will she be here on time? → Yes, she will.
Short answers make responses sound natural and complete while avoiding repetition of the full sentence.
