"Phew... That feels much better!"
Bai Ye lay sprawled on the rooftop for quite a while before recovering. After casting a healing spell on himself, he sat back up.
The noise-canceling headphones from the system really were useful. Under the headphones' "seal," Bai Ye's hearing had returned to normal.
However, he could adjust the degree to which his hearing was suppressed at any time. For now, even unsealing just 10% of his hearing was more than enough.
This was a process of gradually becoming familiar with and integrating his ability. After all, Bai Ye had not been born with this power, so he naturally needed a long period of adaptation and familiarization.
The black noise-canceling headphones were sleek and lightweight, and Bai Ye discovered that no matter how hard he shook his head, they would not fall off. In that regard, they probably had something in common with Izayoi Sakamaki's headphones—they would not fall off during combat.
"Wait, why did I think of that guy?!"
Bai Ye suddenly sensed something was wrong. He was obviously just a priest... Why was he comparing himself to that kind of monster?
Shaking the strange thought from his head, Bai Ye slowly climbed down from the inn's rooftop terrace. As for why he did not simply leap down—sorry, but Bai Ye was not that fierce yet.
To speed up his adaptation to these nearly brand-new ears, Bai Ye unsealed 10% of his headphones' suppression and did his best to familiarize himself with this strange yet entirely new world.
What was sound?
Sound was a sound wave produced by the vibration of objects. As long as there was a medium, sound waves could travel.
Bai Ye could feel his incredibly sensitive ears constantly gathering all kinds of sounds and faithfully relaying them to his mind.
